lazarus is very nice, but this video seems to be old. The new lazarus version is a lot better, I'm using it :)

[rndhmn]

superb!

Would it be possible to post a manual describing how to install it?

[dragonny4master]

Great video :)

As I know Lazarus is free, and almost similar to Deplhi 7 (or 6).

Codes should remain same (at least most of it).

Pretty shame that almost no one uses this...

I know people lack the experience to try it. They think its a dead language, but its really not.

[dragonny4master]

Well I am using Lazarus from time to time.

But now I am learning C++ :)

[codecaine]

for some reason I can't declare a Text varible in lazarus? Have you tried it? v

var

blah : Text;

[dragonny4master]

hmm

I think that you are trying this:

var blah : String;

[codecaine]

No I am not trying to do a string varible. I am trying to use the text varible in pascal. I am using text because I am piping information from the shell into my program using pOpen. String would not be suitable.

[dragonny4master]

I never used Text, but I tried and compiled without problems in my Lazarus (I set as global variable - at start of program).

var blah : Text;

Done without problems.

Maybe you are missing something.

[codecaine]

Bust be a lazarus error. You shouldn't have to make that varible global to use it in pascal standards.

[dragonny4master]

Nah, this was just test. I know to use variables :) Just wondering, how you can give some info to that variable of type "Text"? eg. ... var x:Text; begin x:='aaaaa'; ... This don't work. I checked Lazarus help, but no answer...

[codecaine]

Text works as Text File. So you will use file commands on it. For example,

var

MyText : Text;

begin

Assign(MyText,'file.txt');

rewrite(MyText);

WriteLn(MyText, "this is a example");

close(MyText);

//this writes creates a text file with the text this is a example in it.

end.

Thank you :)

[codecaine]

np :). If you using lazarus on linux or mac this varible is god for reading and writing from the shell

[dragonny4master]

Ubuntu Hardy Heron :)

Nice I have it on mac and linux. I have a ton of source codes in delphi. I am going to make a ton for lazaurs now. You should look me up on pscode or google type in my name "Jerome Scott II" I have over 100 sourcecodes in delphi and a lot of java c++ sourcecodes

[dragonny4master]

Cool.

Thanks again :)
