NOTE - The Advanced Functions do NOT work for DOS compiled executables.

Extended Functions Usage

Tip #1 - You MUST use the prefix "rem " for the compiler to recognize the Advanced Commands:
    rem HideSelf

Tip #2 - Advanced Commands with the "At" suffix (graphical commands) will hide the console cursor.
    The cursor is hidden so you can string graphical commands together without the cursor in the way.
    You may want to use the CursorShow command after you use these commands.

Add [Number1] [Number2]
Adds two numbers and returns the result in the variable %result%

ChangeColor [Integer_FGcolor(0-15)] [Int_BGcolor(0-15)]
Changes the color text will be printed on the screen

ClearColor
Changes the color text will be printed on the screen back to default colors (FG=7 BG=0)

CursorHide
Hides the blinking cursor on the console window

CursorShow
Shows the blinking cursor on the console window

Divide [Number1] [Number2]
Divides Number1 by Number2 and returns the result in the variable %result%

GenRandom [MaxInteger]
Generates a random integer no larger than MaxInteger and returns the number in the variable %result%

GetInput
Lets the user type input and returns the result in the variable %result%

GetLength [Text]
Returns the length of text in the integer variable %result%

GetPercent [Number1] [Number2]
Finds the percent [Number1] out of [Number2] and returns the result in the variable %result%

GreaterThan [Number1] [Number2]
If Number1 >= Number2 (Greater than or equal to) returns 1 if true and a 0 if false in the variable %result%

Hideself
Allows the compiled batch file window to go invisible and run in the background

LaunchSilent [Text_Filename] [Options(or "" )] [Int_WaitTillFinish(1or0)]
     Launches any executable completely silent. Use double quotes "" if no options. Wait(1=YES 0=NO)
     Filename and path cannot contain spaces. Recommend Embedding the target EXE. Use %MYFILES%\filename.exe to launch it.
     If you must run an App with spaces in the path, use CD command to change the current directory then just enter the EXE filename without path.

LessThan [Number1] [Number2]
If Number1 <= Number2 (Less than or equal to) returns 1 if true and a 0 if false in the variable %result%

LimitDecimal [DecimalNumber] [Integer_X]
Limits the DecimalNumber to X number decimal places and returns the result to the variable %result%

Locate [Integer_Y(1-25)] [Int_X(1-80)]
Moves the cursor Y number of spaces down and X number of spaces right from the top left corner

LocateAt [Integer_Y(1-25)] [Int_X(1-80)]
Hides Cursor. Moves the cursor Y number of spaces down and X number of spaces right from the top left corner.

MakeInteger [DecimalNumber]
Makes the DecimalNumber an integer and returns the result in the variable %result%

MakeLower [Text]
Makes the text all lowercase and returns the text in the variable %result%

MakeUpper [Text]
Makes the text all UPPERCASE and returns the text in the variable %result%

Multiply [Number1] [Number2]
Multiplies two numbers and returns the result in the variable %result%

PaintBoxAt [Integer_Y] [Int_X] [Int_Height] [Int_Width] [Int_BGcolor(0-15)]
Hides Cursor. Paints a box on the screen at the Y X coordinates with the specified dimensions and BGcolor

PaintScreen [Integer_BGcolor(0-15)]
Paints the screen the selected integer background color

PrintBox [Integer_Height] [Int_Width] [Int_BorderType(1or2)]
Prints a box centered on the screen with the specified border type

PrintBoxAt [Integer_Y] [Int_X] [Int_Height] [Int_Width] [Int_Border(1or2)]
Hides Cursor. Prints a box on the screen at the Y X coordinates with the specified dimensions and border type

PrintCenter [Text] [Integer_Y(1-25)] [Int_FGcolor(0-15)] [Int_BGcolor(0-15)]
Prints one centered line of text on the screen with the specified colors in the row Y

PrintColor [Text] [Integer_FGcolor(0-15)] [Int_BGcolor(0-15)]
Prints text on the screen with the specified colors without printing a Return after. Use PrintReturn command if you must

PrintColorAt [Text] [Int_Y] [Int_X] [Int_FGcolor(0-15)] [Int_BGcolor(0-15)]
Hides Cursor. Prints colored text on the screen at the Y X coordinates without printing a Return. Use PrintReturn

PrintReturn

Subtract [Number1] [Number2]
Subtracts Number2 from Number1 and returns the result in the variable %result%

Wait [Integer_Milliseconds]
Waits the specified number of milliseconds before continuing (1000 = 1 second)

Tips for using Advanced BAT to EXE Converter

Open and look through the example batch files included in the compiler menu

While editing your batch files you will notice the code changing colors when using the extra (extended) commands:
GREEN for REM comments
PURPLE (warning) for recognized Advanced Commands missing options
BLUE (ok) for Advanced Commands with the correct number of options
RED (error) Advanced Command with possible typo
ORANGE for GOTO and :Labels

Please note the compiler colors the code based on the number of options entered after an extended command. The compiler does NOT check for the correct data type.

Save your batch file after compiling it to save the Project Options including EXE path, icon, version information.
This data will be loaded the next time you open the batch file with the compiler.

To add a comment in the batch file, use a REM statement

Be sure not to use any commands that may require user input while the compiled batch file is hiding with the HideSelf command

PrintColor does not print a "return" after it prints to the screen. This is so you can print more than one color on a line without having to use Locate. Simply use PrintReturn to start at the next line.
Use ChangeColor when using PaintScreen to change the text backround color to match the current background color.

To Embed files to the compiled EXE, click the plus sign "+" on the Select EXE Options window (Embed Files tab)

Use %MYFILES% to get the folder path of embedded files at run time.

Use %0 to get the EXE filename of the compiled batch file EXE at runtime.
Use %~dps0 to get the folder path of the compiled batch file EXE at runtime.
Batch file windows are 80 spaces in width and 25 spaces in height.
To close the window when a batch file finishes executing, simply put a CLS (clear screen) statement at the end of the batch file.
If the windows closes before you can see any text on the screen, put a PAUSE (press any key to continue) statement at the end of the batch file.
Make sure English is selected on your Language bar.
