Ok. I need help now. Here's what I'm trying to do: I used this at first:

:sub(VI)
:
:Lbl L
:If sub(VT)=5
:  For(A,1,sub(VNL))
:    Disp {sub(VN)-A+1}>Char
:  End
:  Disp i
:End
:If sub(VNX)
:  Goto L
:End
:Return
:
:.Initialize Vat pointer (using P as pointer)
:Lbl VI
:{E9830}r->P
:Return
:
:.Get Next Entry
:.Returns 1 if End of Vat or 0 otherwise
:Lbl VNX
:P-{P-6}-7->P>={E982E}r
:Return
:
:.Get current entry type
:Lbl VT
:{P}
:Return
:
:.Get Pointer to current name length
:Lbl VNL
:{P-6}
:Return
:
:.Get Pointer to current entry name (backwards)
:Lbl VN
:P-7
:Return
That worked. Now, from there I need to deal only with those programs with a name starting with   %FLD. What I need it to do is check to see if the program's name starts with  %FLD, and if it does, then export the hex representation of the last character of the name to L1. Once that is done, it should add one to the highest value in L1. If someone can do that, I can tackle the rest.

I find it interesting, in general, how it is easy to make a mistake, but hard to apologize for it. You've earned some respect from me for managing it. And, an apology doesn't need to be perfect. It just needs to be sincere. The rest will fall into place.

The important thing about a community like omnimaga is that we are all here to support one another. That means we don't try to hide our source code. Instead we provide parts of our own code to assist others. Its about teaching. Perhaps you might want to think about releasing your health meter as a subroutine, so that others may include it in their own code. In any event, welcome back.

Could someone write a routine in Axe that parses the VAT, checks for all %FLDn files, and finds the highest value of n (n1), then creates an Axe name string,  %FLD[n1+1]? That would help me out alot.

I'm trying to parse the VAT for DCS7 folders, and create a new folder, with a user input name and predefined contents.

It's actually b_call(EraseFlash).

It is designed to deflect OS invalidating, certificate screwing, or other extremely harmful stuff. It will not, nor is it intended to, intercept everything that could possibly crash or freeze.

Feature Request:

TI-Basic has the ability to transfer control to another executable, then return when done. Axe should be able to do the same. Maybe, use the command Get( or something, where the command

Get(prgmAAA)

would cause the executable to transfer execution to the asm program AAA, then return to the main.

If you want to call another Axe program, unless you desperately need them to be two separate compiled programs, this can already be achieved with included programs. Just call it as a subroutine in your main program without a Return, like this:

Code: (Your main program) [Select] .PROGRAM ClrHome Disp "Hello " sub(A) Disp i Return Lbl A prgmINCLUDE

Code: (prgmINCLUDE) [Select] .. Disp "world!" Return

@Runner: That method includes the CODE making up the included program and still compiles as one program. Think of what happens in the TI-Basic code

Disp "Hello"
prgmZCLRHOME
Disp "Goodbye"
I'm suggesting Axe have a way to do that. Like what calcmaniac said, using B_CALL ExecProg

@ calc84maniac: Nice

@LordConupiter: Not 2 calc data sending. I'm talking about having the ability to run other programs from an Axe compiled program.
