Some qb code converted into PBDOS code

[Stephane Fontaine]

Hi all

Can please somebody help me for how I converted this quickbasic
code to PBDOS code.

Very thanks for your help

Kind regards
Stephane

RegX.ax = &H2F00
INTERRUPTX &H21, RegX, RegX 'Read DTA address
DTA.seg = RegX.es
DTA.ofs = RegX.bx

RegX.ax = &H1A00
RegX.ds = VARSEG(DOS.DTA)
RegX.dx = VARPTR(DOS.DTA)
INTERRUPTX &H21, RegX, RegX

RegX.ax = &H4E00
RegX.cx = SearchAttrib%
RegX.ds = VARSEG(f$)
RegX.dx = SADD(f$)
INTERRUPTX &H21, RegX, RegX

Kind regards

Stephane,

Within the PowerBASIC manual or in the online help take a look at
the REG function, REG statement and the CALL INTERRUPT statement.
This should provide you with what you need to translate the code.

However, from what I have determined that the code is doing, you
would probably be better off just to use the PowerBASIC DIR$ function,
which also is in the manual as well as in the online help.

Stephane,

There also are plenty of examples within the DOS Forum with respeot
to the REG statement and function.

If you look up the DIR$ function, I believe it does what you are
looking for.

Allen, there is no need for Stephane to waste valuable time searching the BBS... Page 230 of the Reference Guide shows a fine example.

Lance,

I believe that all of Stephane's hardcopy manuals still are in its
original shrink wrap. I guess one day he plans to sell them as
PowerBASIC Memorabilia

no, he seems to have it sussed now... see

stephane, if you read this, when posting code, the code and /code tags must be enclosed in square brackets for the bbs software to read them correctly.

ie, [ code ] and [ /code ] (without the spaces within the brackets)

thanks!
