AWK DLL module VB PBDLL

[Karlheinz Nester]

Hi !

Since I am really weak on VB here my question:
Has anyone ported the GNU AWK DLL module for Visual Basic
to PBDLL6 ???

The AWKDLL.DLL etc is available free at
http://walkerj.muc.de

Thanks to all

I'm a big fan of awk, I've been shelling from excel to a dos
of mawk (which is way way fast version of awk).

When using pb though, one might as well use it instead since it
now has replace with (same thing as gsub), parse (close to
split) and regular expressions (though I am not a big fan of
regular expressions). The awk begin, main, end structure is
nice, but again, its pretty simple to do the same thing with pb.

So now almost as easy to use pb as awk. Except of course,
there's no pb for unix.

Is there something, specifically, you'd like to do with awk ?

Hallo Karlheinz,

the URL you provided doesn't seem to work. Is that a typo of yours or a server problem?

according to the web page it's a 16bit dll. Not much use with PBDLL 6.0

Hi John,
thanks for your reply and sorry for my URL typo

I thought to convert a lot of AWK files for ACAD automation.
It will be hard (timely) to convert to PBDLL.
Now I try to use TAWK 5.0 and its DLL module for NT4.

So oncemore to all of YOU thanks a lot.

Regards Charlie

What's ACAD ? Are they awk programs or awk data files ?

John,

ACAD is an acronym for AutoCAD. AutoCAD is a computer aided drafting (CAD) program marketed by Autodesk in northern California. This program is written in C++ and can be programmed to do specific tasks in addition to command line execution.

AutoCAD also supports ActiveX automation as a programming extension in addition to ObjectARX (C++), AutoLisp aka VisuaLisp, VBA, VB, and AutoBASIC.

Hope this clarifys ACAD. Sure would be nice to program ACAD with PowerBASIC!!!!!!!!!!!
