I would like to see some future version of VDS, maybe not 5, have the ability to include labels contained in external script files. Have say a include directory and use that external.

C++ example
Code:

#include <iostream.h>


That sort of a thing.

Little bit late to request this for version 5 I think Wink

That was what I was thinking of a little while ago too! Only for mine there had (has) to be an DLL who handles the communication between the two scripts...

If I make something like a string manipulate script, people have to use SUBS to
use it like this:

%%string = Hello World
%%replace = Hello
%%replacewith = Hi
gosub Replacestring


I want a DLL that makes it easy to call this stuff:

@script(replace,Hello World,Hello,Hi)


BUT, the @script() function must keep a link with a second EXE, which does all the work.
This DLL and EXE must communicate with eichother by the REGISTRY or something:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

First script does this:
%%string = @script(replace,Hello World,Hello,Hi)

The DLL sends it to the EXE by registry:
registry write,ROOT,MyProgram,Parameter1,replace
registry write,ROOT,MyProgram,Parameter1,Hello World
registry write,ROOT,MyProgram,Parameter1,Hello
registry write,ROOT,MyProgram,Parameter1,Hi

The EXE is doing something with this info, and sends this back to the DLL by registry:
registry write,ROOT,MyProgram,Sendtoscript,Hi World

The DLL then sends it back to the first script with this value:
Hi World

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There must also be an option to send EVENTS and ERROR codes. If this is possible to make,
there can a lot be done for users who start programming in VDS, and more advanced users,
because it's easier to use then SUB-Routines...




BTW. Your idea isn't that hard... Make something like this:

Server:
Code:

run external.exe Reverse,wait
list create,1
list loadfile,1,output.txt
info Output:@cr()@text(1)
list close,1


Client:
Code:

goto %1

:Reverse
rem Place here the code
list create,1
list add,1,Output text
list savefile,1,output.txt
list close,1
exit

:Othercommand
exit

I'm for breaking my sources up into smaller more managable units. I've
wanted something like this for a long time now myself. Smile

Actually ya can do that now by writing a simple program
that splices the files together before compiling...

I made a front-end for VDS 2.5 that did this very thing
using its' command line compiler (there was a size limit
on what the IDE could handle). The front-end auto opened
all project files in cascaded notepads for editing. It would
splice them together for compiling, and there was an option
to view the whole file together using DOS EDIT (needed the
line numbers to find errors).

For VDS3 and later, all you'd need is a util in the tools menu
to splice the files together, then load the spliced file into the
IDE to test or compile it. And ya could use any editor ya want
(MDI etc.) for editing the single files... Wink

Cheers, Mac Smile

Hi All,
Skit3000 asked me awhile back to build a DLL to do this. I have accepted this as my new project. I will keep everyone posted. This may be part of Gadget soon Very Happy

The "VDS Macro Utility" was meant for this purpose:

The "VDU Convertor" was too, but it is no longer available.

Yeah, but it sure would be nice to be able to just have all these modules
open in the IDE, like using a tabbed interface or something for the editor,
so you could quickly get around. Wink
