would value be a specific byte in the appvar?

No.
It would be a value and Axe would search the AppVar for that value.

Mhmm...

Could you provide an usage example of what it would do, including Input and Outputted results as examples?

Code: [Select]
:"MYVAR->Str1
:"Saved.->Str2
:Select(Str1)
:GetCalc(50)->A
:45->{A+24}
:If inString(Str1,45)
:Disp Str2,i
:End

Something like that.

In this example, we put in two things. We told Axe to look in MYVAR (Str1) for the value 45.
It returned a 1 and as a result, it threw back a "Saved." message.

i still don't get it x.x sorry

Nevermind, then. It may just be way too low-level for me.

I think I will just stick to the functions from Axe 0.0.5 and a few of the 1.x ones and that's about it because the last time I checked the doc I forgot half of the commands :/

That's why should always have a copy of the doc at hand when programming. I too find it difficult to remember all of the commands and their syntax. But the more you program, the more chances you have of remembering them.

Well, I have it on my PC all the time and an older copy, but I stopped looking at it for a week and forgot a lot of commands. I had to ask Quigibo (via chat) to remind me what some do in more details x.x

I guess I'll really need to get coding again

I was planning to add an instr() command, but a little more general than what you are referring to.  It would be like this:

instr(START,BYTE<,SIZE>)

The last option is optional.  You give it a pointer, and it searches for the byte until it finds it and then returns the pointer to that byte, or it returns zero if not found.  That way, its not just limited to application variables, you can use it anywhere.

Its pretty easy to add, but I haven't yet because honestly, it really isn't as useful as it sounds.  There is a regular assembly instruction that does exactly this called "cpir" but I've never used it or needed to use it ever for anything.  I've almost never seen it used in other programs either.  It would only be needed for very specific applications, and even then its easy to write a subroutine yourself with existing commands.  But yes, I will support it eventually, but its in the back of my list.

Just focus on the more essential commands for now I think ^^ (and bug fixes if any)

In such command, though, how would you specify (in this syntax) if you want to point to a byte in an appvar instead of inside the program?

Select(Str1)
getCalc()->A
instr(A,'Z',100)

This would search for the character 'Z' in the first 100 bytes of the appvar.

About getcalc() it returns what was selected with Select(Str1), right, then store it into A, then search from memory location A through the next 100 bytes, then return 1 if "Z" is found?

Yes, but just like the calc's instr(), it doesn't just return 1, it returns the location of the found byte if it is found (a pointer) because this is much more useful.
