[durnurd]

It means that there is an error in your code on the first line, the 17th character in from the left.

[Zorb Burger]

ever thin abou teh code is right!!  here is teh code.  it be small, but im jus startin out...

Code: [Select]

Dim strFirstName As String
Dim strLastName As String

  strFirstName  = "Zorb"
  strLastName = "Burger"
  MsgBox strLastName & ", " & strFirstName
wat am i doin rong!  i folloewd teh directions an everythin.  it like notepad++ anit readin it or somethin...

[durnurd]

VBScript as a language doesn't have datatypes.  Everything is a variant.  This mean that you don't use "As String" to define what type of variables you're using.

Code: [Select]

Dim strFirstName
Dim strLastName

  strFirstName  = "Zorb"
  strLastName = "Burger"
  MsgBox strLastName & ", " & strFirstName

[Zorb Burger]

i be tryin dat, tanks fer teh help!

EDIT:  DAYUUMM!!!  U duh man Durnurd!!  it be workin!!!

[Zorb Burger]

Alrigh yall, nother porb...  i am trin to get it wer ya type somfin into a input box den it display yer thing.  like ya input time an it show up the time o day.
Her be the code.:

Code: [Select]

Dim strRad
Dim strPrompt
 
 strPrompt = "Enter Time or Date: "
 strRad = InputBox(strPrompt)
 if strRad = Time, MsgBox "The time is: " & Time
  end
 if strRad = Date, MsgBox "The Date is: " & Date
  end
not sur wat i be doin rong...

I don't think SGDK allows you to use an input box.  To allow input is kind of complicated to script, Bluemonk has an example in the NET demo:

https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=70424&package_id=113801

[hebedaymun]

maybe he's talking about general VBScript coding?  Like something not related to SGDK?  I don't know... his first question really didn't fit into the 'SGDK' scripting environment... I could be wrong though.

[Zorb Burger]

tanks fer teh repli!  but dis anit fer SGDK... i am jus practicing ma skills until i be ready to tackle SGDK...

[durnurd]

What tutorials are you using?  The code syntax is just all wrong with that last piece of code, so you must be using some other kind of Basic.

Here's the correct VBScript code:

Code: [Select]

Dim strRad
Dim strPrompt
 
 strPrompt = "Enter Time or Date: "
 strRad = InputBox(strPrompt)
 if strRad = "Time" then MsgBox "The time is: " & Time
 if strRad = "Date" then MsgBox "The Date is: " & Date


[Zorb Burger]

durn it  Durnurd, you be a codin power house!!!   tanks fer teh hlp!!

the tutorial is somfin calld "L-basic".  I only got teh trial version dough...  cna't afford to get som real codin tutorials... 

[Zorb Burger]

alrigh... i am makin somefin dat solves simple math stuff, lik addin, subtract, etc., but i cant get these darn radicals teh work.  durnurd, or any guy else, think ya can help me again?   hers' teh cod, and i tink it be ma finest yet

Code: [Select]

Dim intResult

  intResult = (2 + 2)         'addition
  MsgBox "2 + 2 = " & intResult
  intResult = (3 * 4)         'multiplication
  MsgBox "3 * 4 = " & intResult
  intResult = (4 - 2)         'subtraction
  MsgBox "4 - 2 = " & intResult
  intResult = (6 / 3)         'division
  MsgBox "6 / 3 = " & intResult
  intResult = (2 ^ 3)         'exponents
  MsgBox "2 ^ 3 = " & intResult
  intResult = (Log(4)) 'logarithms
  MsgBox "log(4) = " & intResult
  intResult = ((1/3)-(1/4))/((1/8)+(1/2)) 'complex fraction
  MsgBox "((1/3)-(1/4))/((1/8)+(1/2)) = " & intResult
  intResult = (root(36)) 'SquareRoot
  MsgBox " Radical 36 = " & intResult
hepl be greatly appreciated!!

[bluemonkmn]

The square root function in VBScript (and VB) is called SQR rather than ROOT.

BTW, have you tried looking at Microsoft's VBScript reference?
