Hello Trent,
I just want to use variable names like:
c$ htpt, ltpt,ltst, htst, plt, pht, slt, sht.c$ is auto-defined, this is a one letter variable
For the other variables, use:
1. if they are numeric variables
DIM %htpt%, %ltpt%, %ltst%, %htst%, %plt%, %pht%, %slt%, %sht%
2. if they are string variables
DIM %htpt$, %ltpt$, %ltst$, %htst$, %plt$, %pht$, %slt$, %sht$
Then:
Input "Enter the low temperature of the Primary Transmitter ",%ltpt%
or
Input "Enter the low temperature of the Primary Transmitter ",%ltpt$
None of my Color calls work either ie:
color 15,4 etc.Color of text and background is not implemented in the basic Console mode.
The COLOR statement, used in Graphics mode, takes only one parameter, the frontcolor of the pen.
Would you wish to write some text with specific front and back-colors, use the GPRINT statement.
Gosh, this is like having to learn programming from the start.I am sorry you get this feeling. But I am really hoping that once you will get used to coding with iziBasic, you will read back this thread saying... "well, that wasn't that hard."
I guess the main problem with the Izibasic doc's is that their are not many examples for the kind of old fashioned programming that I do.Did you look at the Console sample source codes provided in the iziBasic package? This is usually a good way to understand the differences between the iziBasic dialect and other Basic dialects...
The pre-buy documentation for Izibasic says that it workes with existing basic and Tiny basic etc. I never wrote such a thing. What I precisely wrote as a presentation of this compiler was: "As its name also states it, iziBasic uses the BASIC high level and very easy to learn development language, a customized subset of it to be
precise."
Keep the good work, you are close to succeeding. If that could be helpuf to you, maybe drop me one of your source codes (confidentiality guaranteed), a small one please, so that I "convert" it. Then, reading it, might help you getting started faster.
Cheers,
