help needed, i want to make a simple web browser from raw dbpro, i am unfortunately a newb at programming and i need some assistance



my goal is to use d3d or ogl and to move most of the processing onto my graphics,but one step at a time. currently all i want is to read my index.html file, will research how to parse or interpret later, just want to dump the raw html into a string and display it.

guess what

You know DBP is based on DX? Which means you're not going to use OGL.

Not sure how you're going to manage to write a parser if you're stuck on just loading the initial file.

For starters, your loadFile function has a repeat loop inside a while loop, why?
Remove the inner repeat loop and leave just the wile loop and move the close file command to outside of the loop.



You may also want to look at my XML parser. It's still a work in progress, but I commented heavily on the code and it might help you out.

Several times I thought of trying to make an HTML renderer in DB, just for fun. I think you're going to find out it's a lot more difficult than you thought.


p.s. Welcome to the forums
