thinBasic is a Basic like language interpreter. Its target is to have a scripts text file to be interpreted and executed immediately by a simple double click or by an automated scheduled tasks.

More than 500 predefined keywords. All main program flow: If/Then/Else/ElseIf/End If, For/Next, Do [While/Until]/Loop [While/Until], While/Wend, Select/End Select, user defined functions, arrays, modules, much more...

User defined functions with local or global variable declaration up to 12 parameters.

Every script can have an unlimited number of user defined functions declared each of them can allocate variable in different ways: local, static, global scope.

Functions can be recursive and each recursion will allocate a new stack for local variables.

Every function can have up to 12 parameters but this can be changed by design

Dynamic strings variables and many numeric types.

Numeric types: Byte, Word, Integer, DWord, Long, Quad, Single, Double, Extended, Currency.

Strings are dynamic strings. Dynamic string variables contain character data of arbitrary length. Dynamic strings can contain up to approximately 2 Gb characters. Dynamic strings can contain both text or binary data.
Arrays are supported up to 3 dimensions. Arrays can be of any supported variable types.

thinBasic language can be extended in keywords and functionalities using predefined official modules.

thinBasic language consists of a rich set of keywords plus you can extend the keywords loading external modules designed to cover specific tasks.

There are some official predefined modules delivered with thinBasic that will allow to interact, for example, with databases. To use these modules, just use the keyword "Uses" followed by the name of the module.

What's New in This Release:

· UI Add CONTROL SET LOC
· UI Add CONTROL GET LOC
· Core Fix If a line was ending with underscore continuation line char _ followed by space, thinBasic preprocessor was hanging.
· catventure Core Add
· DECLARE SUB and DECLARE FUNCTION partially working on easy defined API functions. Still many tests to be done. Gpf are too much often.
· Core Fix If a variable declared local inside a function had the same name of a global variable, declaration was failing preventing usage of local one.
· Core Add DECLARE SUB and DECLARE FUNCTION introduced. Declaration of a sub or function will be used to declare Windows API functions. This will allow in a future thinBasic release, to call standard API functions or external DLL functions.
· Core Add ASCIIZ string type introduced but still to be managed.
· Core Add App_ListFunctions returns all User Defined Functions (UDF) and API declared functions inside a script.
· Core Fix APP_ListEquates, APP_ListKeywords were missing first item.
· Core Add ARRAY SORT introduced
· Core Add DECLARE statement introduced. Parsing is in place. This statement has been introduced in order to work with Windows API functions.
· Install Fix Fixed registry key for thinAir. If keys exists, installation will not change their values.
