Find attached the file FormatX5.zip which contains FormatX.bas and is a library of format functions.
They are not a Print Using replicants but contain certain FormatX$ functions similar to the ones in QB 7.1
The functions allow for parsing formatted strings and unique to QB64 which has no Format$ functions.
Year between 1753 and 2078 increased to 0001 and 9999.
NOT backwards compatible with QB 4.5 because format date/time is stored in float Now## precision.
Read on! ejo
Code: (Select All)
Format library v5.0a in BASIC for QB64 similar to BC7/VBDOS1 is PD 2024.
Version v1.0a:
Initial creation 09/30/2024.
Version v2.0a:
Adds StoreColor for Colorf function.
Adds KeyBoardLine$ function.
Adds Debug to StatusLine.
Adds some constants.
Version v3.0a:
Adds Control-Break trapping.
Adds statusline format strinng.
Adds titlebar timer trap.
Version v4.0a:
Adds extended LineInput$ function.
Version v5.0a:
Fixes date/time display in:
DateTimeClock$ and DateTimeClockSerial$ (serial##)
Print Format(12345, "###,###")
Print Format(12345, "$###,###")
Print Format(Timer, "###,###.#####")
Function Format$ (num, using$)
Static tempimage
If tempimage = 0 Then tempimage = _NewImage(80, 1, 0)
d = _Dest: s = _Source
_Dest tempimage: _Source tempimage
Cls
Print Using using$; num;
For i = 1 To 80
p = Screen(1, i)
If p = 0 Then Exit For
text$ = text$ + Chr$(p)
Next
_Dest d: _Source s
Format$ = text$
End Function
I wrote a FormatX$ function to parse date/time such as: HH:MM:SS

also: The FormatX$ function parses this list:
Code: (Select All)
' Date and Time Formats
'
' Date/time serial numbers can be formatted with date/time formats or with
' numeric formats, since date/time serial numbers are stored as floating-
' point values. Date and time formats are:

' ------ ----------------------------------------------------------
' d Display the day as a number without leading zeros (1-31)
' dd Display the day as a number with leading zeros (01-31)
' ddd Display the day as an abbreviation (Sun-Sat)
' dddd Display the day as a full name (Sunday-Saturday)
' ddddd Display a serial date number as a complete date
' (including day, month, and year)
'
' m Display the month as a number without leading zeros (1-12);
' if used immediately following h or hh, the minute rather
' than the month is displayed
' mm Display the month as a number with leading zeros (01-12);

Erik.
We'll reform the calendar system and reset it before we ever get that far. Some day, when my genius if finally recognized from the world, everything will swap from Julian Calendar to Steve Calendar...
I like that Steve. An 8 day week .. Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Someday. Seems to me I already work on that calendar.
