Added new _STRCMP and _STRICMP commands for quick string comparisons. Cleaned up QB64 to finish removing the QUI (quick user insert) code and folders. Altered UCASE and LCASE routines to be faster in some situations for us.

:: SEEK ''filenumber%'', ''position%''
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* ''filenumber'' must be the file number that is [[OPEN]] and being read or written to.
|
|
* ''position'' is a byte in [[BINARY]] or sequencial files created in [[OUTPUT]], [[APPEND]] or [[INPUT (file mode)]]s. The first byte = 1.
|
|
* ''position'' is the record in [[RANDOM]] files to read or write. Records can hold more than one variable defined in a [[TYPE]].
|
|
* Since the first SEEK file position is 1 it may require adding one to an offset value when documentation uses that position as 0.
|
|
* After a SEEK statement, the next file operation starts at that SEEK byte position.
|
|
* The SEEK statement can work with the [[SEEK]] function to move around in a file.
|
|
