FBSL - a brand new code editor

[Gerome]

so how many people use FBSL?

FBSL exists since 2001 year and is not as exposed as AutoIt, but it has its users and its URL is known, its name also, just type the name into your favorite web browser to see.

I was initially inspired by AutoIt when i started this project, and it is a thing to know : AutoIt was inspired and more than inpired by FBSL, because the algo + original ASM code for DLLCALL that is present into AutoIt is the very code the I've shared to the internet yeasr ago and that other languages and project I've helped use and still use this dynamic code (like BCX), so I'm happy to see how have my 2 cents grown

cool well i just downloaded it and am planning on testing it out looks like a good alternative for autoit if ever needed

Hello,

Ok no problemo.

The big thing to know it that there is no offense between the 2 languages, since I estimate they can be complementary and as they are inspired by many other ones, we did not invented boiling water, just practical languages that can easily deserve your imagination

yep i know lol, I'm currently learning C++ and the syntax of yours seems easy enough since its like a combination of many languages that i know the syntax to and stuff eheh so should be pretty easy sailing

Hi,

Yes, the syntax is a mix between VB, PHP, C++ and JScript, and its 'object' model was inspired from the C++ and from VB.

I've personally written the CHM Help file and I've taken an honor point at documenting + giving a lot of samples to expose all that is possible, and many great things are possible !

yeah its nice that you took the time to document it much like autoit has done makes life 100x easier since not only the parameters but the scripts that show how to properly use them

Thanks !

You're welcome

The more information I can share with users, the more confident they are!

Hmmm... The syntax does look alot like VB.

In the visible part of the iceberg yes, on the hidden part it's more interesting

Hi again,

I'm now proud to announce the Form Designer, as always 100% coded in FBSL v3 without extra external dependencies!

Enjoy!

hey gerome you think you could make some TCP functions in FBSL? like in MSDN they got send recv listen connect and stuff

[Gerome]

Hi,

Why ?

FBSL already has a native socket layer and it's well documented with samples...

If you want more, just use #DllDeclare for the DLL stuff, and use TYPE definition + #Define to make the rest, it's easy!

xD o hahah ok sounds good, cuz autoits TCP functions arent very flexible and all , i need a fast proxy to be able to send packets back and forth between game to my proxy to server and vice versa

AutoIt has nice functions, its grammar is rich, but compared to FBSL that also has a rich grammar, the FBSL functions are at a lower level than AutoIt's ones, and the core FBSL engine is developped around direct memory access, low level api stuff, COM and OOP.

If you want to know more about FBSL, just RTFM that is around 600 pages with tons of pratical samples

[NELyon]

Hmm... i just downloaded FBSL. I have a request for the editor. Do you think you could make it close tabs by the middle button? I'm so accustomed to doing this in SciTE and in Firefox.

[Gerome]

Hi,

I believe FBSL has a forum.

Lar.

Yes of course

It's there : http://www.fbsl.net/phpbb2/

You just have to freely register to the forum before beeing able to post and read there

Here's one big difference between FSBL and AutoIt. The following is from FSBL's license agreement:

The program is distributed as FREEWARE and DOES require license fees for use or distribution for Companies or, if you make commercial programs using FBSL : this must be applied by contacting the author Gerome GUILLEMIN [ mailto : gedd123@free.fr ]).

So, basically it's free for personal use, but if you want to use it in your work, you have to pay a license fee.

It's free for personal use and by personal it can also include a free use at work

You just have to pay a license fee *only* if you want to make money with it

I think it's time to close this "example autoit script".

FSBL forum is that way ----->
