Re: Did you know?
Some of the undocumented stuff in Gambas is common to VB. For example; if you pause your program in the IDE (maybe as a result of hitting a break-point) you can double click on variables, and then tooltip-text will display the current value for a few seconds. You can do the same thing with expressio...

Re: Gambas command-line programming
I think VB6 had the best help system. Most pages included an example, along with a description of the method, property or whatever the subject was.

I have been looking at Gambas command-line programming recently, as an alternative in situations where I would previously have used Python.

You can shorten the line... Hi cogier, you are right, it can be trimmed down a bit. But what I like about Gambas and VB is that code is easy to read if you don't take too many short-cuts. After all, if you like terse code, why not use Python, C or C++? For beginners and the non-fluent (like me) the...

Problem with Exec and ">"
I sometimes have problems with tricky Linux commands when using either the Gambas Exec or Shell commands. Its usually Shell that gives me a headache, but for this Linux command:- find "/home/pi/Music" -type f -iname "*.mp3" -o -iname "*.ogg" -o -iname "*.wma" ...
