ObjAsm / Re: New Editor
Last post by Biterider - June 24, 2025, 03:04:14 AM
Hi JJ
Thanks for providing this information. It gives me a rough idea of what to expect.  :thumbsup:
To make an accurate comparison, when you stopped the timer, did the editor hold the content in memory, or did this time include the loading process? 
Is the trimming routine written inside the editor, or is it implemented differently? 

If I have time, I'll do the same in the editor directly to see the cost of the ADE infrastructure. 
Ultimately, whether it takes 10 ms or 1000 ms doesn't matter. What's important is flexibility and robustness.

Regards, Biterider

For a similar routine: 32 ms for trimming 48369 lines
Shouldn't pose any problem :cool:

Hi,

   I read through your tutorial, briefly.  Seems well written
and explains things reasonably.

Regards,

Hi
I've made some progress with the scripting engine.
This is my first useful script for trimming trailing spaces from each editor line:

-- Purpose: Trim spaces at the end of each line.
 
Application.FreezeUI()
hEdit = Application.NewEditor("ADE.ini")
Editor.Show(hEdit)
for i = 1, Editor.GetLineCount(hEdit), 1
do
  LineContent = Editor.GetLineText(hEdit, i)
  j = string.len(LineContent)
  k = j
  while (j > 0)
  do
    if string.sub(LineContent, j, j) ~= " " then break end
    j = j - 1
  end
  if k ~= j then Editor.SetLineText(hEdit, i, string.sub(LineContent, 1, j)) end
end
Editor.Close(hEdit)
Application.UnfreezeUI()
Application.MsgBox("Operation successfully finished.", "Information", 0)

It runs smoothly.
A performance test must be done, but it seems quite fast at first glance.

Thank you!!!

I have been searching for that for ages!

Maybe they thought it was no longer needed.

Thanks again.

Yea, that doesn't work. I did find out about the .BREAK directive, but it doesn't really do the same thing.

Quote from: _japheth on June 22, 2025, 12:37:33 AMNo, since this is an error and no warning. You have to use the LOCAL directive ( inside the macro and tightly following the MACRO directive) to declare your label inside the macro as "local".
Got it, thanks  :thumbsup: I totally misunderstood the purpose of the LOCAL directive. I thought it was for declaring local variables and not labels. It's working now, thanks!

Well, it looks to me as if you haven't figured out why it didn't work in the first place, so you've learned nothing. Poking code here and there in hopes it might work isn't the way to learn how to code.

Plus, any reason you're using 64-bit assembly? 32-bit is much easier and more straightforward, plus the MASM32 package is pretty complete and robust, unlike MASM64 which is kind of a piece of shit at this time.

Its not wasted time. As I do not know your level of experience, I must ask seemingly silly questions sometimes.

Quote from: sskaiser on June 22, 2025, 01:38:34 AMAnd to answer your questions I did use the GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo and made sure it works...
:thumbsup:

Quoteand I use VS Community 2022 to watch the registers, function returns 1 so i guess no errors
Okay.  :smiley:

hi LordAdef
I'm excited about the project, even if my time is limited. Where do you suggest we begin?
