I am making a code editor while I take some time off of Dragon Basic. I need it to be able to access DarkBasic through the program, print the code to DB and the compile it. Does that make more sense?

The compiling I am not sure about but writing to Dark BASIC is easy.

+ Code Snippet

FileName:
CLS
Input "Filename: ";FileName$
If File Exist(FileName$)=1
CLS
Input "Overwrite Y/N: ";YN$
If YN$="Y" Or YN$="y" Then Delete File FileName$
If YN$="N" Or YN$="n" Then Goto FileName
CLS
Text$="You wrote this form another program."
Open To Write 1,FileName$+".dba"
Print "Writing Simple Program To Dark Basic File - ",FileName$
Write String 1,"CLS"
Write String 1,"Print Text$"
Write String 1,"Suspend For Key"
Close File 1
CLS
Print "File Made."
End

Hope that helps.

There are darkbasic commands that let you compile the code that you want. If you are using darkedit, you can go into the options menu and you can find them. I think these are the commands but I am not sure:

-c compile
-e execute
-b build exe
-f build final exe

I have not found anything in DarkEdit that tells me a command to use to compile the code.
