 Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me. |

I've rewritten RENUMBER.BAS to use MMBasic V4.3 functionality and make it a bit more robust. Does anyone still use linenumbers? If you do, would you please test the program with some of your code and report any problems and suggest any improvements? I have included a Comments.txt file with some possible improvements. There's also a file of test code called testfile.bas. It has the MMBasic code I tested the program code against. It's currently set up for me running multiple tests, so pressing the Enter key at each prompt will use my default file names for input and output. The code is full of debug statements (which you won't see as it's controlled by a flag) and needs cleaning up so I won't release a final version until I implement the multitude of suggestions I expect to get

James, You will find a few programs in MMLib have line numbers. Hugh |

True, but that won't give me feedback on whether the output formatting is useful for users who still use line numbers. It's not a program that anyone is likely to use because there's a renumber facility in MMBASIC (and probably in MMIDE and MM EDIT). The rewritten program would only be useful if the functionality was removed from MMBASIC to free up space as suggested by another user some while back in another thread, and the user needed a renumber program that didn't run on a PC. I've rewritten it because it was a good bit of mental exercise and I enjoy coding. James My mind is aglow with whirling, transient nodes of thought careening through a cosmic vapor of invention.

I am relying on your renumber program as that facility in MMBasic will be gone in the next version (the space saved has been gratefully reused). Geoff Geoff Graham - http://geoffg.net |

Here's the almost final version of Renumber.bas. 2013-04-22_052040_renumber.zip I say 'almost final' because every program this size has at least one bug that's been missed and I don't see why my code would be any different. To get it to work properly you'll have to also put ShoeBuckle's FORMAT.BAS in the same directory. It has a couple of nice additions that took a while to code, which is why it's taken so long. There's a CONFIG program that reads from a config file and populates global variables, then writes back the global variables to the file at the end of processing. Thanks for the idea TZ. Unfortunately the code to manage the reading and writing of the global variables is repetitive and it's easy to make a mistake, so I wrote CONCODER to automate the creation of the code. Once I know the majority of bugs have been cleaned out of RENUMBER, I'll finish coding CONCODER. In the meantime, at least I can release RENUMBER. I've checked it with some test files and the renumbering seems to work as it should, I never did get the formatting to work properly - which is why I rely on Hugh's FORMAT program. Let me know if you find any problems. Or even better, if you don't.

The current version of FORMAT.BAS which supports chaining from Renumber is available from members.optusnet.com.au/hnmpb/Maximite/Format.zip. Cheers, Hugh |

The link isn't working for me Hugh - can you check it please. Errr - it works OK if you remove the extra "."

When you click the link you get http://www.thebackshed.com/forum/members.optusnet.com.au/hnm pb/Maximite/Format.zip in the address bar. The forum probably added a random space in there somewhere for this message. The link below should work. It's the cut-and-paste with an http:// added and without the "." (although the http isn't strictly necessary nowadays). http://members.optusnet.com.au/hnmpb/Maximite/Format.zip James My mind is aglow with whirling, transient nodes of thought careening through a cosmic vapor of invention.

Thanks paceman, James_From_Canb and djuqa. Sorry for any inconvenience, but it is gratifying to see that there is some interest in the program. Cheers, Hugh |
