I'll be short here.
How can I post text and pictures on Facebook and / or Twitter via DBPro code?

You should be able to use the http commands to use their web api

thanks
i'll check the web api and see what i can do.

by the way, i am facing a problem with file operations
i open a file to write, write some variables into it and close it, and when i check the file, it is blank.
what could be happening?

an example of what i normally do (without error handling)

file$ = "test.dat"
make file file$
open to write 1,file$
write string 1,"test"
close file 1

the file is created and opened properly, but no matter what i try to put into it, nothing happens

what could it be?

DBPro's file functions were poorly designed and Make File is the most useless function there is. Why have a function to create a file you can not do anything with? The Open To Write function will create the file if the file does not already exist.

file$ = "test.dat"
if file exist(file$)
delete file file$
endif
open to write 1, file$
write string 1, "test"
close file 1

Yeah, exactly.
Well, I was able to solve the file issue with Matrix1Utils datafile I/O plugin, which works flawlessly for me - and much probably to anyone else, too.

I am still wishing to find a way to posting on Facebook or Twitter from inside a DBPro program, and I didn't find anything valuable in their tutorials - probably because I'm a plain n00b, I think.

Well, thanks for all, folks. I love to post here because, although DBPro is almost extinct, there are still cool people to help a desperated wannabe programmer like me.

DBPro could do with more HTTP and Web Browsing functionality

i didn't try this, but dbpro can do post and get requests on forms. unlike javascript or php, dbpro does not like huge strings. you could read the pages into memblocks or those matrix1 unsave memory pointers and make functions to find and read the form tags and then use it with the dbpro build in http commands.
