I have bits and pieces of a large program, but their in different languages. I don't want to convert them. Any help? Thanks a lot.

Summary:
How would you go about blending Axe and BASIC?

Fwahahaha! What you could do is add in a third language… Assembly :D Depending on the nature of the code, you could either add in BASIC code to your Axe program as data, then use an assembly opcode to execute it as BASIC code, or you could use a simple opcode that lets you run BASIC programs from Axe. See this post on Omnimaga.
47%? Take a look and try to imagine how cool 100% will be. This has won zContest 2011 and made news on TICalc. This compromise between Assembly and BASIC parses like BASIC and is fast like assembly. Grammer 2
Thank you! By the way, after you do that, how would you compile it in Axe Parser?

Well, that program simply lets you execute BASIC programs. In order to store a BASIC program inside an Axe program, you would have to define a section of Axe code as purely data and store your BASIC code that way. I am not too familiar with Axe, but I will see if I can come up with something :)

Wait, so you don't compile it or anything at all? Will Axe work like that?

Well, if you define it as data, Axe won't try to parse it as Axe code and it will be left as is. There is an OS routine (in assembly), that lets you execute data as BASIC code, so combining all of this, you can execute BASIC code from inside an Axe program.

Woo, I found it :D (I have been searching for how Axe does it since I am not familiar with the Axe language). Basically, do this:
[prgmBASIC]
Where prgmBASIC is the BASIC program you want to absorb into your program. Now I just need to find a way to extract the size of the code and then I can get you the hex code that will let you execute it :D

Okay, so here is what I have (this will get a bit complicated):
At the end of your Axe program is where you should put all of the data for loading the BASIC programs properly. I say the end of the program because otherwise, it might start to get confusing. Basically, this is the syntax:
"BAKIT→Str1 ;Name of the program that will be created, temporarily.
[000000]→Str41 ;The first 00 is to end the name, then the 0000 after that will need to be replaced, later, with the size of the program.
[prgmBASIC]→Str21 ;Name of the program with all the BASIC code in it
[]→Str31 ;This will help later to figure out how big the program is.
Now, somewhere at the beginning of your program, during initial setup or whatever, do something like this:
Str31-Str21→{Str41+1}^r ;the ^r (superscript r) is found in the angle menu
Now you can put this subroutine somewhere in your code:
Lbl EXEC ;Pass the pointer to the data
r1 ;found at [vars][right][3]
Asm(3E06EF3C4C ;Creates and executes the program.
r1
Asm(1178843E06121C010800EDB0EFF142EFC64FC9 ;Deletes it so it doesn't take up memory
And now, whenever you want to execute that BASIC code, just do this in your main code:
sub(EXEC,Str1)
:D
I hope that helps!
EDIT: As a note, this is pretty inefficient. It first copies the code already inside your program to another program, then it executes it. So you basically have two copies of your BASIC program.

That's good. I will implement that into my program. You deserve guru Karma for that!
Coffee + Radiohead = ^^
In my opinion, Xeda has deserved Guru Karma for a long time :)
You deserve high. :)
Coffee + Radiohead = ^^
Hey!, what do you know, you have high. (It was my doing, of course.) XD
Coffee + Radiohead = ^^
And now I have high…

I'm waiting to get the color red in my bar, because then I instantly will look like some kind of genius.

To anyone in this forum, listen! It is obvious wikidot is having some technical difficulties! Quickly, don't wait a moment! Post what Karma you want here, and prepare to have your wish-list granted! XD
Coffee + Radiohead = ^^
Wow, you've barely been a member for a week and you already have high Karma XD
Can we wish for Christmas presents while we're at it? Will Wikidot give us those?
Lol
The Silver Phantom welcomes you
Not anything that you actually want, just those pajama's and stuff you get from your Aunt. I mean, have you seen their "gift shop?" It's just a Wikidot mug and a T-shirt. :3

I wish I could have karma, lol.
Gimme a decently high karma on the account I never use :D
