Hello

Sorry just saw your post. there is what i mean. It does not give me the paging option it just goes to the end of the task and exits.

Code: QB64: [Select]
  1. DECLARE LIBRARY "pipecom"
  2.     FUNCTION pipecom$ (cmd AS STRING)

  7. 'F = pipecom("dir *.BAS")
  8. F = pipecom("dir /b /s /p*.BAS") 'if you need just the filenames and not the rest of the output

Hello

Does not look like you can use /P in there I have been trying that but it just goes to the end of the data and ends. Is that what it is supposed to do

i copied your code but get illegal string number conversion on this code. If i rem it out it just does it on the next instance.
 pok = pokeint(exe, _OFFSET(pokval) + l, l)

Hello

I did not mean to start a competition rotf but it was fun to watch. I was going to rewrite it using arrays and such on the same principal. If you dont need to peek and poke it is a good idea to not. but i just wanted a little more understanding of what he was doing. both programs are really cute.

Hello

I think i know what the lottery program is doing with the peeks and pokes

he first pokes the value 1 to 50. In address 5000 1 to 59

then generates a random number by x= int(rnd*59)+1
then in the next line he compares the value of x to that value by using peek to make sure there is no zero or duplicates in his number

Correct ????

Hello

This is the code the first post is from .. looking over it again i know what it does but i need to know how and what the peek and poke statements are doing.

Code: QB64: [Select]
  1. REM A Powerball drawing program by Martin VandenHurk.

  7.     POKE 5000 + l, l
  10. FOR l = 1 TO 59
  11.     PRINT PEEK(5000 + l);
  13. PRINT "Now drawing powerball numbers..."
  14. ct = 1
  15. here:
  16. x = INT(RND * 59) + 1
  17. IF PEEK(5000 + x) <> 0 THEN r(ct) = x: POKE 5000 + x, 0: GOTO there
  18. GOTO here
  19. there:
