New code checking program - anyone interested in testing?

[Andy]

I have played around with this idea for such a long time, and tried many different ways to do it, finally it looks like it's working.

My code checking program:

I posted a puzzle yesterday, and Bill got the correct answer (well done Bill!), this same problem a few weeks ago took me around two hours to find!

After a few hours of programming (and getting tiered) I decided to make one last change before calling it a day.

Big mistake...

I pasted in some new code over some older code and accidentally removed an ENDIF.

This was the compile message...

Code Select Expand

Compiling Resources...
No Errors

Compiling...
test1 missing endifs.iwb
File: c:\test\subtest\project\bin\test1 missing endifs.iwb (222) Error: syntax error - FlagEnd
File: c:\test\subtest\project\bin\test1 missing endifs.iwb (237) Error: syntax error
File: c:\test\subtest\project\bin\test1 missing endifs.iwb (128) Error: unexpected end of sub: missing UNTIL
File: c:\test\subtest\project\bin\test1 missing endifs.iwb (1) Error: syntax error
Error(s) in compiling "c:\test\subtest\project\bin\test1 missing endifs.iwb"
Build Failed

When (after 2 hours) I finally found the problem, I decided to do something about it and looked again at how to solve this problem.

Using my code, the way I have typed it, it works, but would like someone else to test it...

Anyone interested?

Just need a few more days to tidy it up before I can pass it on.

It takes no time at all for the program to give you the answer (see attached).

By the way... it doesn't just work for IF / ENDIF's, it works for anything where there needs to be a matching pair e.g. FOR / NEXT, DO / UNTIL etc.

If I wasn't in the middle of two major projects at work, I would love to help.  Looks like a great idea and will save a lot of time for many programmers.  I know how infuriating it can be to miss an ENDIF or other conditionals or loops.

Good luck,
Bill

That's a real shame Bill, but if you're busy, you're busy!

Thanks anyway,
Andy.
