We have a command in Gambas "Space" that will produce X number of repetitions of a space.
Print "<"; Space$(8); ">"
The result is < >
In certain circumstances, this ability is very helpful.Is there a command in Gambas which would work similarly for any ASCII character, repeating it X number of times?? Or perhaps in a future release, the Chr$() command can be modified to have an optional second argument for number of repetitions? There's certain circumstances where this ability would save a lot of typing.
For example:
For Counter = 100 DownTo 2
TheString = Replace$(TheString,Chr$(40,Counter),Null,gb.Binary)
TheString = Replace$(TheString,Chr$(41,Counter),Null,gb.Binary)
Next
(((((((((((Hello!)))))
becomes (Hello!)
Thank you.
