Windows' built-in VGA typeface/font is Fixedsys, you might find worth it using on your Small Basic GW projects.

Hallo zusammen,

Das Programm (mit der Erweiterung LitDev) WNWQ963.000 formatiert eine Zahl in das deutsche Format mit Tausendertrennzeichen und Rundung.
Hat jemand einen Vorschlag für eine Verbesserung der Optimierung?
Vielen Dank

Are we able to post GitHub links to repos that are either related to Small Basic or have Small Basic programs?

I'm making a website for submitting and sharing SB programs quickly.

It'll be easier to share SB programs there.

Just telling. (if any of you want to use the website)

  Small Basic CMD simulator
Posted by: sm4llprogrammer2008 - 04-19-2025, 05:21 PM - Forum: Standard Small Basic - No Replies

Finally,

After publishing my Bash simulator, I've tried to expand it's very basic code.

ID: ZVVD6.000
Link: https://smallbasic.com/program/?ZVVD6.000

Code:
TextWindow.Hide()
TextWindow.Title = "Windows Command Prompt"
year = Clock.Year
path = "C:\Windows\System32"
helpInfoTxt[1] = "== HELP =="
helpInfoTxt[2] = "dir <path> - Lists files from a path."
helpInfoTxt[3] = "echo <text> - Writes line to the prompt."
helpInfoTxt[4] = "cd <path> - Enters a path."
helpInfoTxt[5] = "help - Shows this text."
TextWindow.Show()
TextWindow.ForegroundColor = "White"
TextWindow.WriteLine("Copyright "+year+" sm4llprogrammer2008")
While ("True")
  TextWindow.ForegroundColor = "White"
  TextWindow.Write(path+">> ")
  TextWindow.ForegroundColor = "Gray"
  prompt = TextWindow.Read()
  EventHandler()
EndWhile

Sub EventHandler 'We'll return events based on input (variable: prompt)
  getting = LDText.Split(prompt, " ") 'Split text
    If getting[1] = "dir" Then 'Event handler for dir
      getpath = getting[2]
      If Text.GetIndexOf(getpath, "C:\") = 1 Then
        files = File.GetFiles(getpath) 'Get files
        For i = 1 To Array.GetItemCount(files) 'List all files from the directory input by the user
          TextWindow.WriteLine(files[i])
        EndFor
      Else 'If no path is typed or none
          TextWindow.WriteLine("Invalid path. Use a valid directory starting with C:\")
     EndIf
    ElseIf getting[1] = "cd" Then 'Event handler for cd
      getpath = getting[2]
      If Text.GetIndexOf(getpath, "C:\") = 1 Then
        path = getpath
      Else
        TextWindow.WriteLine("Invalid path. Use a valid directory starting with C:\")
      EndIf
    ElseIf getting[1] = "echo" Then
      returning = Text.GetSubText(prompt, Text.GetIndexOf(prompt, "echo") + 5, Text.GetLength(prompt) - Text.GetIndexOf(prompt, "echo") - 4)
      TextWindow.WriteLine(returning)
    ElseIf getting[1] = "help" Then
      For i = 1 To Array.GetItemCount(helpInfoTxt)
        TextWindow.WriteLine(helpInfoTxt[i])
      EndFor
    Else
      TextWindow.WriteLine("Unknown command. Type 'help' for info.")
    EndIf
EndSub

Feel free to expand!

Edit: requires LitDev Beta library!

  Small Basic bash simulator
Posted by: sm4llprogrammer2008 - 04-19-2025, 04:21 PM - Forum: Standard Small Basic - No Replies

I've made a bash simulator.
Doesn't have cmdlets, but you can try expanding it!

Link: https://smallbasic.com/program/?XSLJ618.000
ID (to use on SB 1.2 when importing from web): XSLJ618.000

Code:
TextWindow.Hide()
TextWindow.Title = "Small Bash"
While ("True")
  TextWindow.ForegroundColor = "Green"
  TextWindow.Write("\users\")
  TextWindow.ForegroundColor = "Blue"
  TextWindow.Write("~$ ")
  TextWindow.ForegroundColor = "DarkGray"
  prompt = TextWindow.Read()
EndWhile
TextWindow.Show()

It isn't quite compatible with Small Basic Online though.

  Writing extensions - ?
Posted by: Yumda - 04-19-2025, 08:00 AM - Forum: Extensions - Replies (6)

Hi there:

Is there an updated guide for writing SB extension?  My son knows abit of C#, and when we follow the instruction guide on how to write extension for SB using visual c# 2010 the message keeps on popping up that the .net fram work we are targeting is 3.5 but the smallbasic .DLL reference is for .NET 4.5 .  Is there any new tutorial available or what people is using to write the extension? 

Regards

YUMDA
