• The following functions should support multi-dimensional arrays: ABS, CDBL, CINT, CSTR, FIX, INT, LCASE, LTRIM, RTRIM, TRIM, UCASE, VAL
• Support for the Windows CryptoAPI (not available through COM)

code:

---

With $form
   .Height = 400
   .Width = 600
   .Caption = "This is MyLabel"
EndWith

---

• EXIT DO to enhance DO...LOOP
• EXIT FOR to enhance FOR [EACH]...NEXT
• EXIT WHILE to enhance WHILE...LOOP

code:

---

; Install Program
Break off
$ = BlockInput ("E")
Shell "%comspec% /c setup.exe /s"
$ = BlockInput ()
Break on

---

• Compile to bytecode (tokenize)
• Accept piped input (data)
• Accept piped input (script code)
• Static variable declaration for function and file scopes
• Native calendar functions (date and time)
• Support for binary i/o
• Support for binary data types
• Assign and pass variables by reference
• Set/return console attributes (esp. height and width)
• Peek/Poke console attributes (character, colours)
• "Color" to accept alternative parameters, e.g. numeric and/or variables
• @COLOR to return current colour settings

Ok, so some of those are not old ones

• The ability to return a base raised to a specified power - Exp() Function (please see http://www.scriptlogic.com/kixtart/FunctionDiscussion.asp?mid=2700&fn=Exp).
• The ability to replace a substring within a given string - ReplaceStr function (please see http://www.scriptlogic.com/Kixtart/ViewFunction.asp?FN=ReplaceStr#).
• The ability to repeat a string a given number of times - RepeatStr function (please see http://www.scriptlogic.com/Kixtart/ViewFunction.asp?FN=RepeatStr).
• The ability to search a single dimensional array for a given value - Ascan function (please see http://www.scriptlogic.com/Kixtart/ViewFunction.asp?FN=Ascan).
• The ability to declare constants.
• Allow ReadProfileString() and WriteProfileString() to write to sections with no names...ie. To allow the ability to update CONFIG.SYS; which doesn't have a section name. We also use a program whose INI files do not stick to convention and therefore doesn't have a section name.
• Enhance EXIST() function to determine if LPT1: (LPT2: ..etc..) is mapped.
• Enhanced date functions...
  
  • Determine the number of days between two dates
  • Return the day of a given date...ie. Monday
  • Return the date of a given date...ie. 14
  • Return the month of a given date...ie. 11
  • Return the year of a given date...ie. 2002
  • Given a date return the number of days since 1/1/1900
• The ability to convert a number from one base to another (ie. from base 10 to base 16).
• The ability to concatenate two single dimensioned arrays. (also allow the ability to simply add elements to a single dimensional array). (please see http://www.scriptlogic.com/Kixtart/ViewFunction.asp?FN=JoinArray).
• Assign and pass variables by reference (A repeat from Richard's suggestions I know - but I would really find this useful!).
