I know how to do that, but I really don't want to write down EVERYTHING. I was just wondering if someone already has done it and could just give it to me or if someone knows a link...

i don't want a parser generator, i want to make my own

this looks really complicated. Is it possible for me to just make a server using c# and host the website off that?

i don't want virtual box, i already have it. i want to make a virtual machine myself. something like what gruntlover2 on youtube makes

i've tried to search for 'how to make an operating system', but mostly that comes up is stuff using COSMOS(which doesn't work on my computer), SUSE Studio or just people saying 'look at this piece of code and then do this with it an you have an operating system'. as i said, i want a detailed tutorial.

wait, i think i might have done something wrong, just a sec...

this looks like a good piece of code, but i'm happy what what i have. it works and that's all that matters at the moment.

sorry, if i put in the address 'D:\' and i got everything. all i wanted were the names of the files and folders in D, not every file and every folder in D

seriously? you are questioning me about making programming languages? i know about tokenisation, but i am writing this programming language a little differently because this is still a beginners class. for my scanning and tokenising is a foreach statement. so as you can see, it isn't so easy. if you really want to ask me about 'MY' programming languages, as in the ones that I write for myself, that is a different topic.

your right, i am not serious, i'm curious. i just want to know how to do this and being given a big lot of complicated code and expecting me to look through all of it isn't what i had in mind. i thought that someone would give me a small example code.

i know what you mean, but what i am asking is how to make a file type that acts like a zip file. i know that you are only trying to help, but giving me examples like that doesn't help me. i want someone to tell me where to start and give me a basic piece of source code instead of someone giving me answers saying 'why don't you look at this very advanced code and try to understand what is happening'.

yes i did, but this has not helped me at all. you don't get what i am trying to say. i don't want to make a zip file, i want to make my own file type completely that acts like a zip file. with one program, it compiles multiple files into it and with another i am able to look inside of it and access data from each individual file that has been compiled into it.

you don't get what i am trying to say. i don't want to make a zip file, i want to make my own file type completely that acts like a zip file. with one program, i can compile different files into it and with another i am able to look into the file and draw out all the data i need from individual files within.

i am asking for help because i don't know how to do this...

i know all the bugs and errors of my code, i have written, tested, written and tested some more. This is the best thing that i could come up with. i don't really want to use regex that much anyway. this programming language isn't meant to be a serious programming language anyway, i upload videos on youtube and make tutorials, this programming language is meant to be easy to use and understand yet effective. if i start using regex, people who are just starting to learn how to do this kind of stuff could get really confused.

Didn't I say? sorry, i want that code to go from 'tom::age = 6' to just one character to look like 'tom.age = 6'

thanks for this, the reasons that i am not doing this in windows forms is because i am making this game a console game, a console rpg, like angband, and the way that i a making this game isn't as easy on forms than console.

well, one of the main reasons that i want to use console is the feel of it. i don't want to have fancy graphics, i just want to keep it simple. i like the feel of the ascii art console games. and another reason is because it is really easy :)

this does help, it introduced me to the Form.Controls.Add() function. this isn't the full answer so i won't 'Accept Solution', but i do want you to know that you help me a lot. thnx :)

yes, this is the answer i was looking for...

thanks, except there is one problem that i fixed. when you run this code, it makes 2 forms when you type in 'new form', take out the 'form.show()' and one form will only show

if you hover your mouse over the new form window, the mouse turns into the loading circle and you can't do anything with the form

well if i could do it, then why would i be here? if i could do it, then i would be programming right now making the programming language and test games. The reason that i am here is because i don't know how to do it.

the thing is, i can make visual programs, i can make console programs, but i have trouble to mix them. Do you know how to make a windows forms using a console application?

you don't get what i'm trying to say...

it can be done, there is a guy on youtube called 'gruntlover2', search him up. There is a video that he posted where he shows you that he has made a programming language in a console application and with it, he makes a web browser, and he is turning 15 this year! if anyone could do it, i thought that you would know how.

first, i look at this code and it looks like that you type this code into a windows form application. i want some code that you type into a windows console application and it makes a windows form. and secondly, i make very complex programming languages, i know what i am getting into.

i know how to make a basic windows forms program, i just need to know this: if i execute the code 'new form' using a console application, how can i run a windows form?

didn't i say? soz, i want to make this programming language like Java where you just type in the code and it runs the program. but i am also going to make it so that you are able to make games out of this language.

this is just a game

thank you for your solution. I cannot press accept because it is not fully complete, but i have tagged you at the bottom of my response

what about loading text into the list? i need to save and load text into the list. and could you please give me some code to work with?

i have tokenised my programming language. i have assigned it into a list called tokens and then the parser looks at each individual tokens and does what is assigned to that token. if the token is not recognised, then an error is passed. I have done programming languages before, but i don't know how to add classes. i thought that the easiest way for me was to do something like this, it takes the code from inbetween 2 strings and put it into another string.

what about running a console application in a windows form? i want to be able to run my programming language in a console application. So if i make a windows form for my programming language and then press a run button, will i be able to run the code within a console application? if so, can you please tell me how and give me some code?

is there another way that I can add classes to my programming language? please help.

can you just please fix it?

actually, i used it a bit more and i wanted to use it for my programming language for classes but i found that it doesn't work. I would type this in:

group (start)
print Hello World
end group
print Something

and it would print both Hello World and Something. this is my code:

Dim regex As Regex = New Regex( "(?<=group \(" & classname & "\))(?)(?=end group)", RegexOptions.Singleline Or RegexOptions.CultureInvariant)

string code = regex.match(textbox1.text).Value

for each a as string in code.split(controlchars.lf)
if a.startswith("print ")
textbox2.text &= a.substring(6)
end if
next

can you please fix up my code?

this works! you are just awesome! i don't know how you do this.

hey, i have run this code:

Dim regex As Regex = New Regex(
"(?<=group \(" & classname & "\))(?)(?=end group)",
RegexOptions.Singleline Or RegexOptions.CultureInvariant)

(classname = start)

and this is the error that I got:

parsing "(?<=group \(start\))(?)(?=end group)" - Quantifier

can you please change my code or tell me how to fix this/

hey,

I just tried out the code and i realised that this is in C#, i am programming this in Visual Basic

I need to have more than just one group though. am I allowed to do something like:

public static Regex regex = new Regex(
"(?<=group " & stringname & " \\(.*?\\))(?.*?)(?=end group)",
RegexOptions.Singleline
| RegexOptions.CultureInvariant
| RegexOptions.Compiled );
...
string s = regex.Match(textBox1.Text).Value;

that is what I am looking for, but I don't know if that will work.

this isn't exactly what i was looking for...it is still good, but i want to store the data as a string. so lets say something like:

string 'something' = *this is where the Regex is used, this is the data stored between 'group(xxx)' and 'end group'*

could you please explain this code to me? I am not very good with regex. I do not use it very much, and all the times i do use it, i just copy code from the internet

that isn't what I wanted. I want the code to be able to make new lines in TextBox2. If you run my code in the question, it doesn't allow new lines in TextBox2. I want to be able to have new lines in TextBox2. Can you please give me a code for this?

i konw exactly what is going on, i havn't done programming languages like this for so long that i have forgot how to do this. Can you please just give this to me in the for each statement?

this doesn't seem to work for me.

hey, i know this is a big ask, but are you able to change this to Visual C#? I have been working with visual c# for ages now and i am now changing back to c#. i tried using a converter but it doesn't change the vbcrlf, i can't find anything else that would work. Could you please just convert to c#?

well, its in a lot of programming languages. look at visual basic, c# and batch. they are all great languages and they all use the goto statement at the end to go the the next.

i already have the solution. you go into the settings/lan settings/print lan settings and it prints all of the settings including the Mac Address.

thanks, this is also very helpful. but there is just one more thing. how would i be able to compile all of the files into one .exe file. here is an example:

i have 3 text files that i have made for my programming language that run some code. when i press the compile button, on my GUI, it makes a .exe file 'combining' all of that code into 1 .exe file that you can execute. do you know how to do that? or anyone that reads this comment.

thanks for this...you have been a really good help for me you know. you have taken a look at or even solved a lot of my questions. i think i will have a lot more to come when i finally finnish my programming language. i am getting into operating system creation, so i think i will needsome help with that when i get into it.

the reason i am asking this is because i am making a virtual machine, something similar to virtual box. it opens up the asm file and runs the code it gives you. or, i would like to make an operating system in c#, and since c# and visual basic are so similar, i would ask in visual basic and be able to understand it better, then translate it into c# when i know how to do it.

i don't know visual c++. and if you are asking my if i have an asm compiler, i have flat assembler. i just want a code that could run assembly in visual basic. or if necessary, how to run bin files. and if so, how do i make bin files. is it assembly code?

lol...the funny thing is, i'm in the city and there is actually someone taking a photo over to my left.

thanks man, this is the best!

this is just one of my language ideas. my friend wants to learn how to program in assembly but he can't get a grasp on it. i have taught him Visual Basic, Visual C#, C++ and even a bit of java, but he really wants to be a computer programmer when he gets older and wants to learn assembly.

i have wondered how to teach him how to program in it, i myself know how to program in it, and i thought that if i make a programming language that uses a similar syntax to it, but it is also easy to understand and program in and still easy for me to teach. this is one of the ideas that i came up with, so can you just please help me out?

i just looked at the source code and for once, i understand most of it. i have looked and studies programming language source codes for programming languages similar to the GfnCompiler and after a couple months, i starts to understand and write in that manner. i think that helps me to read this. this is really good and i will study the code and make my programming language like this. i am going away for a week from tomorrow so you wont here from me for a while. but you have and hopefuly be a good help.

thanks for this link. i will try it out but seeing as though its you that told gave me this link, i am sure it will be a great help.

thanks man, this works! you don't have to do this, but in textbox2(when you run the code), there is a random enter at the start, but when you run the code multiple times, the enter doesn't keep coming. is this fixable? as i said, you have done enough, this is your choice if you want to do it.

hey OriginalGriff. you have answered(or at least had a crack at answering) a few of my questions. are you following me or something?

it didn't help me. instead of the console writeline("ONE/TWO/THREE") part, i want to write something like:

number(200) = a.substring(6)

could you please show me how to insert it?

why do you think i am on here. i have tried to do things like find the number, and counting number of lines then being able to retrieve data from a specific line. all kinds of things! but i still cant do it. i am trying to make my own programming language but i cant figure out how to be able to make variables in visual basic. could you just please help?

you saw my example code, this is what i would like it to look like:

0 asn Hello World
1 pnt 0

what i would like to do, is to assign a string to a line. such as in the code, i assigned the string Hello World to line 0. then in the next line, i printed Hello World by using pnt which calls and prints the string assigned to line 0. i am trying to make my programming language but i can't figure out how to add variables and 'if' statements.

could you please just give me an example code for that for each statement

so....do you have an answer to my question?

what? this isn't my homework. i am only 14, check my profile if you want. do you actually think that i would be making a GUI in year 9? we don't even do I.T in year 9! i am trying to make my own CMD type thing for my GUI and i am trying to make a programming language for it also. this is what i want my programming language to be like. i got the idea from assembly. i just want to know how to assign a string to a line number and then be able to access it like a string. is that too much to ask for?

im making my operating system GUI and i need to figure out how to add the icon of a text file, but i want multiple icons and then i will assign a value to each of them

i cant really post a comment on solution 1, but this isn't what i wanted for readers out there. what i actually want is that you drag and drop the text file on the module "exe" file and the module reads the file that has been droped on it.

i know what parsing technique i am going to use. i am actually making my programming language at the moment. i have 3 different classes to make my programming language with. there is the...

1. file opener, to open the file
2. tokeniser, to scan and split up the file
3. the parser, to scan the tokens and recognize some commands, then sends it off to the generator
4. to generate the code for the exe file.

i have based making this programming language on how real programming languages are made. and i am making my programming language for a challenge at school, there is the I.T. teacher at school who is teaching some year 12s how to program. he has a challenge for whoever can make a programming language the first and the best. i want to win both, and i am only in year 9!

sorry, i dont know what you are talking about.

yeah, i am a programmer. thanks for this topic because it really helped and i am still writing my programming language in C#. if i need to, i will go onto a website that i found that translates c# programming into Visual Basic 2010 programming. But thanks for this.

hey, sorry about this but i am making my programming language in Visual Basic 2010 Express and in this tutorial, it is making one in Java.

hey, i am not doing this for a school assignment(i am only in year 9) but i am just doing this for fun. i am not actually making a programming language. my code structure at the moment is:
<pre lang="vb">
for each a as string in textbox1.text.split(system.environment.newline())
if a.contains("write ")
console.writeline(a.substring(6))
end</pre>

i am using the console and the form together.

Hey, this doesn't work for me because I have Visual Basic 2010 Express. Plus, this isn't making my own programming language, it is just how to make a compiler for visual basic. And I don't know what the heck he is talking about in the forum. I downloaded the file to read it myself, I normally do that, but it doesn't work for me.
