Dear customer:
We are happy to provide you with this updated EBL version 4.01.
In this edition there are not only a few bug fixes, but also
several new functions based on suggestions from customers
like yourself. We look forward to improving the product
further to meet your needs. Complete details of all changes
are shown below.
DETAIL OF CHANGES TO EBL-PLUS VERSION 4.01
- KEY(" ") function within an expression returns
"KEY020" which matches the INKEY function. Formerly
it returned " " which was different from INKEY.
- Recognition of DOS 4.x rather than just 4.0
- RANDOM( {{min, } max {,seed}} ) function has been
added. The default min is 0, default max is 999,
default seed is random based on time. If only one
parameter is supplied, it is a max and the min will
be 0. If seed is not given, seed is random (based
on system time). If a seed is given, it will
restart a repeatable pseudo random pattern.
- Correction made to DIR(file,R) command so that it
will restore properly.
- TRANSLATE( string {,{to list}{,{from list}{,pad}}} )
function has been added. This function translates a
string to different characters. If a character in
the string is found in the input list of characters
(from), then it will be translated to the
corresponding character in the output list (to). If
the character is not found in the input list, then
no change is made. If there are more characters in
{from} than {to}, it will be translated to a pad
character. The default pad character is a blank.
The default output list is empty (null). If only a
string is supplied without any lists, then the
string will be translated to upper case. For
example:
TRANSLATE("12/23/56","-","/") == "12-23-56"
TRANSLATE("abcde","HEX","bcd") == "aHEXe"
TRANSLATE("abcde","1","bcd",".") == "a1..e"
- Correction made to an error inadvertantly reported
when an extended BATXV variable was used in a SHELL
command.
- Correction made to duplicate CHDIR() function listed
in help screen.
