Whats New

• A @Macro not existing no longer gives an error and instead just returns NULL so it is now safe to use @Macros even if the macro does not exist.
• Fixed a bug where DLLs would get in use and cause stuff to crash

Sputnik 0.23b2 @ 14-08-2014 02:18 PM

Whats New

• Added ~~~ it works same as ~~ but with a strict compare so that inherited classes are not counted as being the same and it requires the same class type
• Added !~~ same as above but negative comparison
• @Args is not created by default now and instead must be enabled when you wish to use it by adding [Args("true")] before the function definition

Sputnik 0.23b1 @ 12-08-2014 02:23 AM

Whats New

• This is just a Hot fix release to address the IDE not working... Should work now...

Sputnik 0.23 @ 08-11-2014 05:54 AM

Whats New

• Added IsDivisible() to check if an expression is divisible by a given divisor optionally comparing as double/int64
• Ord renamed to OrdW (Converts a char to UNICODE code)
• Added Ord() handles converting a char to ASCII code
• New Binary variable system for all Binary____() functions the change does not break any older scripts but it does improve how binary data is handled in Sputnik quite a bit.
• Sputnik now uses a tweaked Mersenne Twister for random number generation
• Added BinaryRandom() so you can randomize a binary variable
• Added RandomVar() to generate random Int32, UInt32 etc etc and so on
• Added RandomSeed() to generate pretty good random seeds
• Say() and Println() can now be used with no params to insert a blank line into console
• Added BinaryExpand() it can expand the bytes of a binary variable into a string along with the text they match up to so you can convert binary into something human readable which is excellent when making a network client/server
• Added BinaryStartsWith()
• Added BinaryEndsWith()
• Added BinaryHash() to get a unique Hash of the bytes of a binary variable
• Added BinaryIndexOf() Find the first occurrence of the needle
• Added BinaryIndexOfAny() Find the first occurrence of any of the needles
• Added BinaryLastIndexOf() Find the last occurrence of the needle
• Added BinaryLastIndexOfAny() Find the last occurrence of any of the needles
• Added Byte() and SByte() not sure why they were not already added...
• Added BinaryJoin() to join together a ton of Binary variables in an extremely fast and efficient way
• Changed BinaryCompare() to now support offset of the needle and ability to ignore case (ASCII)
• Fixed (binary) cast it now works
• Binary variables now serialize and unserialize their internal variables (in addition to the binary array they already did) -- this will make anything serialized in byte form impossible to unserialize
• BinaryLen() can now be used to set a binary variables length (ontop of its usual get the length) you can also optionally set a fill with for the new bytes
• Vec() no longer uses strings but instead uses the same binary that all Binary___() functions use so now you can can use Binary and Vec interchangeably.
• Binary variables (including Vec now that its a binary variable) can now use all the operators that bit strings can use logical operators |, &, ^, and ~.
• SocketConnected() fixed
• Added JsonEncode() it works the same as PHP's and can produce the same output as the PHP version if you so wish it
• Added JsonDecode() it works the same as PHP's and can produce the same output as the PHP version if you so wish it
• MySQL is now working again.
• Added NewClassFromArray() it can be used to spawn a new class and set its internal values to that of an array such as one returned from a JSON Decode.
• $this is now correctly set on Unserialize()
• Arrays can now be defined with [ ] example $a = ["One", "Two"]; as well as the usual array() function
• Casting a null as an array like (array)null or (array)$null will now return an empty array instead of an array with a single element (null)
• Added SocketIP() to get the local or remote IP of a socket
• Fixed a rare glitch that could deadlock threads
• Added a new param to Eval() that lets you decide to cause all print/say etc statements to print to the return value instead of the console
• Offset param added to SocketSend()
• Eval flag 4 now supports the clean up if specified
• Added EvalCreate() it lets you spawn an Eval object that you can execute code with similar to Eval flag 4 but it wont go away until you unset it
• Added EvalSet() it can be used to set variables inside an object made from EvalCreate()
• Added Bin() it works similar to Array() but it produces binary instead example my $A = bin(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 0xFF, 0x42);
• BinaryInsert() overwrite is now working properly
• BinaryGet() now returns NULL on failure so it is possible to know it failed
• Added CGIConsole() it changes the way Sputnik prints to console so it works better when used as CGI
• Added BinaryPadLeft() -- it can add padding or make sure the binary is a fixed size and pad it to make it so
• Added BinaryPadRight() -- it can add padding or make sure the binary is a fixed size and pad it to make it so
• Sputnik is now better at handling more instances of Sputnik running in its ram
• Added BinaryTrim() -- trims whitespace or you can provide it a byte array of stuff to trim
• Added BinaryTrimLeft() -- trims whitespace or you can provide it a byte array of stuff to trim
• Added BinaryTrimRight() -- trims whitespace or you can provide it a byte array of stuff to trim
• Added BinaryToLower() -- makes ASCII chars in the binary go lowercase
• Added BinaryToUpper() -- makes ASCII chars in the binary go uppercase
• Added BinaryRemove() -- similar to substr() but removes the section from the binary
• Added BinaryMidReplace() -- similar to BinaryRemove() but instantly inserts something into the replaced part
• Added BinaryContains() -- To check if a binary variable contains a given byte or contains another binary variable
• Added ConvertClass() -- It will create a new instance of a class by its name and copy the values from another class useful with JSON decode to convert StdClass back into something useful
• Binary is no longer an object but is instead a core datatype just like String and Int32 this means Binary benefits from all the core stuff like String does
• Added IsPrime() to check if a number is prime or not
• Fixed qq() and qqw() operators they was allowing a blank space to enter the array
• Added new flag 'S' to sprintf and printf it works similar to 's' (string) but it will force a string instead of printing each element (Which in case of 's' is disastrous for a binary trying to print as string)
• No longer need to make a key called "fmtSeparator" it is replaced with @Sep now (for sprintf/printf)
• No longer need to make a key called "fmtBegin" it is replaced with @Begin now (for sprintf/printf)
• No longer need to make a key called "fmtEnd" it is replaced with @End now (for sprintf/printf)
• Override rule on Functions will now delete an existing custom function by same name when adding the new one
• Override rule now works on Enums just like it does on Functions
• Added new rule AddOnce for Enums it will only allow the enum with that name to add once and ignore the rest however it wont error
• AddOnce rule now works on Functions like it does on Enums
• Added new macro @IsLittleEndian
• Added new macro @IsBigEndian
• Fixed a bug where Byte and SByte could become a short (2 bytes) before converting to Binary
• Improved Sputniks arrays a bit (internally) should be a tad bit faster
• Vec() operations like += |= etc are now significantly faster since it no longer rebuilds the string/binary each time an operation is done and will instead modify them in place (Unless of course the size of the other is larger than source then it has no choice but to recreate the source to fit) which makes it extremely fast
• Fixed a bug in Vec() that would make it fail to extract bytes properly when it received a binary variable with NOT normal size (1,2,4,8) instead of an integer such as vec($foo, 0, 64) = bin(10, 20, 30, 40, 2) it now correctly builds the integer result
• Improve Array compares like == etc
• Fixed Sort() and Walk() they were broken since the change to return values
• Added new Regex flag 'z' for Match it works the same as flag 'a' but this will return an array of the index and length of the whole match if it cant find any group matches
• Fixed bug in BinaryCompare() that would fail if the start offset was higher than needle length
• Made BinaryCompare() significantly better it now handles start/lengths in same way substr() does individually for both binary and needle
• Added usleep() it can sleep the script for a given number of microseconds
• Added Find() it is the same as the LUA String.Find() it can use a patterns to find stuff inside a string and return its position and even group capture
• Match() renamed to CSetMatch()
• MatchDel() renamed to CSetDel()
• Added GSub() it is the same as the LUA String.GSub() it returns a copy of the string in which all occurrences of the pattern have been replaced by a replacement string (Or fills an array/callback function).
• The -> can no longer be used to place a variable as the first argument in a function like "test"->Substr(1, 3) instead you must use ->> so "test"->>Substr(1, 3) is what you use now this change was done to make the classes/objects -> look entirely different from the force variable as first item in a function.
• Added new operator =>> it works similar to ->> but it will immediately place the return value into the variable so $a=>>substr(1); this will cause $a to become the result of the substr operation
• Fixed bitshift <<< and >>> they were converting values to an UInt32 which would destroy a lot of information now it correctly uses UInt64
• Operators + - / * % & | ^ << >> <<< >>> now do bit operations on strings and binary (of both params are string or binary not just one) just like += -= etc do this is a change from which which only does this when using += this means you be careful when doing these operators since if both variables are strings (yet contain numbers in text) they will be treated as bitstrings and the binary operations will take place on each individual char. To avoid this problem either make sure you are using integers/floating points or cast to be sure you only need one of them not to be a string
• Direct memory pointer read such as $PTR[12]:i can now use a direct offset instead of data type offset by doing :: instead : example $PTR[12]::i
• Embedded functions in variables etc when called now take place in local scope instead of their own so they get to use all local variables you have in the area
• List ( ) now sets all variables to null if it cant place stuff into them
• Added Sub() it works almost identical to SubStr() with only one change instead of taking the start position + length it takes a start position + end position this is useful for any functions that return start+end positions such as find() etc
• Changed ?? and !! to only check if the variable really is NULL instead of just *not true* so $a ?? "test" will use "test" if and only if $a really is NULL
• When checking if a string is TRUE Sputnik will now try convert to a double so that "0.1" etc will return true where as before it would have said false
• Removed the array pointer functions Each(), Reset(), Next(), Prev(), Cur() since they are pointless and served no good purpose
• Removal of array pointer (not to be confused with ref) will make unserialize unable to open a serialized array from an older sputnik version however to avoid such issues in future you could always use the json encode/decode (which never changes).
• LINQ functions deleted pending a full remake
• Add new FROM and TO for the foreach loop example foreach($a as $c from 1) starts looping from index 1 and foreach($a as $c from 1 to 3) starts from index 1 and ends at index 3
• Operator To example 10 to 20 has now been renamed to <-> so it is now 10 <..> 20
• All .NET array[] types are supported in Foreach now
• .NET array[] types can be refed in a foreach and have their value modified in real time
• Strings in a foreach can now be refed and have their chars modified in real time
• Foreach has been fixed so if you do a foreach with a ref "as" then do one without a ref below it using same variable name it no longer uses a ref when it shouldnt
• Foreach can now handle List<> on both regular objects and dotnetObj
• Foreach can now handle IEnumerable on both regular objects and dotnetObj
• Added Assert() function it takes one or two arguments the first is a value to check is true (if so returns it) if it is not true then an exception is thrown with a default or user provided (second argument) error message
• Added BitSwap() it can byte-swap little-endian <-> big-endian in any int/float etc variable
• Added U for unsigned to hex literals example: 0x325U
• Added U for unsigned to binary literals example: 0b10101010101U
• Added U for unsigned to octal literals example: 063634U
• Added IsList() to check if an array is a proper list
• Added @GUIDBin it generates the GUID same as @GUID but returns it a binary instead of string
• Added @GUIDZeroBin it generates the Zero GUID same as @GUIDZero but returns it a binary instead of string
• Removed macros @Error, @ErrorCode and @ErrorMsg it was pointless and only a few functions actually used it
• Fixed an issue where almost all static variable types such as 100 'Test' etc could get modified if they were passed as a ref
• Added ContainsAny() works like Contains() but accepts an array of needles
• When doing divide by NULL in Sputnik it now returns zero instead of the original value
• You can now do stuff like foreach(array("One", "Two", "Three", "Four") as list($k, $j)) to get a given number of elements from array and put them into variables at each iteration
• The operator => has been given higher precedent so when you do stuff like array("Cat" => $flag & 1); it no longer fails to work

• Added frexp()
• Added @TwoPI
• Added @ZeroTolerance
• Added Clamp()
• Added Lerp()

• Added Distance2D()
• Added Distance3D()
• Added Hermite()
• Added SmoothStep()
• Added DegreesToRadians()
• Added RadiansToDegrees()
• Added @CaseState the @CaseState stores whether the current case was a true/false when it was checked even if you used goto to get into the case (For use with Select statement).
• Added RevolutionsToDegrees()
• Added RevolutionsToRadians()
• Added RevolutionsToGradians()
• Added DegreesToRevolutions()
• Added RadiansToRevolutions()
• Added RadiansToGradians()
• Added GradiansToRevolutions()
• Added GradiansToDegrees()
• Added GradiansToRadians()
• Removed the -> from modifying strings in place since the new =>> handles modifying values now
• Added BinaryReplace() to search and replace the needle
• You can now use all the usual assignment operators such as +=, -=, *=, %=, ^=, &=, |= etc etc when using a binary variable in array form like $data[3] += 3
• You can now use all the usual assignment operators such as +=, -=, *=, %=, ^=, &=, |= etc etc when using a CharPtr in array form like $charptr[3] += 3
• Vec was somehow missing /=
• Vec can now use ||=, &&=, **=
• Byte type was broken when trying to do & with it
• Foreach when used on a string now sets the "as" to a char instead of a string with one char in it
• $var[index] when used on CharPtr and String returns a char instead of string now

Sputnik 0.22 @ 03-21-2014 05:54 AM

Whats New

• Added BinaryUUEncode()
• Added BinaryUUDecode()
• Remade Vec() from scratch to work exactly same as Perls so you can even do stuff like vec($foo, 0, 8)++; and vec($foo, 0, 8) += 2; (any operator) and of course vec($foo, 0, 32) = 0x5065726C; the wiki has been updated to show the change
• Vec() can now handle up to 64 bits
• Vec() can now handle negative offsets and converts to them to be length of the vector - abs( offset )
• Fixed hilarious oversight that caused BinaryFromStr() to produce a string on "RAW" mode
• Added new operator ||= used like $a ||= 7; will change $a to 7 if $a is not true
• Added new operator &&= used like $a &&= 7; will change $a to 7 if $a is true
• Added Replacement parameter to SubStr() so you get the option of replacing the substring instead of returning it with the added bonus of modifying the original string in place
• print "$var\n" if($var); etc now works properly (foreach, while etc is also fixed)
• Operator ~ now works on strings like in Perl
• A "For" loops middle expression (comparison) can now accept multiple arguments separated by , which is basically same as doing && but without the need for braces ()
• Added Clear() function its bascially same as $array = array(); however it has more options like wipe/not wipe etc
• Clone() now accepts everything like strings etc however it can still only clone objects types of Class/Binary.
• The Default: in a Select/Switch can now go anywhere inside it and it will even fallthrough to next case
• WriteMem() now returns number of bytes written instead of true/false returns and it can now accept arrays as the argument
• PTRRead() and PTRWrite() can now accept to read/write bytes of a binary array etc
• You can now omit arguments from a For loop if the middle argument is removed it will be considered TRUE
• You can now omit arguments from While, Until (including Do While/Until) when no argument is used it will be considered a TRUE statement
• When adding an ID to a case you no longer do Case THEID: you must do CaseID THEID: this specifies its a case WITH an id and should avoid any parse errors
• Changed how functions and classes work internally (you wont see any difference at all) in the past all functions would take place on same STACK and all class functions would take place on the class STACK but now every function call (even ones inside classes) uses its own STACK this is a good thing for multi-threading and a good thing for keeping functions isolated. This does however break a few scripts that rely on LOCAL variables outside the function (which will no longer be accessible) this mostly only really effects GUI programs so I will add the few changes to wiki
• Fixed an error in Sprintf (and everything that uses it like Printf()) that was causing the flags a A to be printed as DOUBLE hex instead of FLOAT hex (double hex is only supposed to happen if you tell it to use long such as %la so this has been fixed)
• You can now add a FLAGS rule onto Enums to cause them to generate numbers that can used as flags using the bitwise operators.
• Enums can now combine flags properly like $Test = $England + $France
• You can now declare functions inside a class as private so they can only be called from within the class itself
• Added DllStructCreateUnion() same as DLLStructCreate but all the elements are aligned at offset 0 same as C union you can also explicitly create your own union by adding "union " in the DLLStruct definition example DllStructCreate("union int a;float b");
• When a DLLStruct is created all its allocated memory is now zeroed out automatically
• When you use char* and wchar* in DLLStructs it will free the previous one when it writes to the address again if you do not wish this freeing behaviour you must manually zero out the pointer by writing a null pointer to the address
• Added @LOG2E // Log(@E, 2) = 1.4426950408889634074
• Added @LOG10E // Log10(@E) = 0.43429448190325182765
• Added @LN2 // Log(2) = 0.69314718055994530942
• Added @LN10 // Log(10) = 2.30258509299404568402
• Added @PI_2 // @PI/2 = 1.57079632679489661923
• Added @PI_4 // @PI/4 = 0.78539816339744830962
• Added @1_PI // 1/@PI = 0.31830988618379067154
• Added @2_PI // 2/@PI = 0.63661977236758134308
• Added @SQRTPI // Sqrt(@PI) = 1.77245385090551602729
• Added @2_SQRTPI // 2/Sqrt(@PI) = 1.12837916709551257390
• Added @SQRT2 // Sqrt(2) = 1.4142135623731
• Added @SQRT3 // Sqrt(3) = 1.73205080756887729352
• Added @SQRT1_2 // 1/Sqrt(2) = 0.70710678118654752440
• Added @LNPI // Log(@PI) = 1.14472988584940017414
• Added @EULER // Euler constant = 0.57721566490153286061
• Added IsSet() it works the same as PHPs it will also call __IsSet() of a class when used on a variable containing a class
• Array indexes no longer get set when you aren't using = so just doing if($a['Test']) will no longer create the element 'Test' to do that you must use like $a['Test'] = "Hello" this is better since there is no chance of elements appearing magically with no idea where they came from
• Improved array internals a bit it will now take more care to remove unset stuff from the array at more events such as a foreach
• Added ability to use __Unset( $key ), __Get( $key ), __Set( $key, $value ) along with __IsSet( $key ) for use on classes so they can be treated somewhat like an array
• Fixed \L it was doing uppercase instead of lowercase
• [<>] can now be used to insert an arrays values directly into an array constructor like array( 1, $b[<>], 3, 4 ) if $b is an array with "dog", "cat" then the new array will be array( 1, "dog", "cat", 3, 4 )
• The regex replacement string in s/// is now parsed for all escapes and variables instead of just for variables so you can now do stuff like $s =~ s/(\w+)\W.*/\L$1/; to lowercase the return
• Grep() and GrepKeys() can now accept an array of regexp patterns to use instead of just using one
• Search() can now accept arrays for its value
• Fixed Clear()
• Added GUIRedraw()
• You can now create "ContextMenu" with GUICreate()
• Fixed all issues with the GUI Builder
• Updated the GUI Builder to 0.4 TabSheets are now fully supported by it and the pages can be added/removed at will it will also include it on generate source and save/load correctly
• Added a new type of brace the @( ) brace the way this brace works is it will execute every parameter inside it and return the last one as if the last element was the only element (yet the rest have had their usual operations done) this is useful in areas such as $value = $dog == 1 ? "yes" : @($cat++,"no"); notice how the $cat is increased and yet "no" is still returned
• InArray() can now accept an array as the needle
• Added IsOverloaded() to check of a given or array of given overloads exist within a class for use
• You can now place an array with [<>] attached to it to add its values directly to an array() constructor such as array("cat", $a[<>], "dog")
• You can now place an array with [<=>] attached to it to add its keys and values directly to an array() constructor such as array("cat", $a[<=>], "dog")
• Added IsEven()
• Added IsOdd()
• $ and @ no longer needs to be escaped when it is on its own in Regex anymore since Sputnik will try figure out if the $ or @ is used as a variable and if it is not it will place the $ or @ into the Regexp basically if $ or @ is followed by a number/letter or _ it is considered to be a variable otherwise it will just place it into the string
• Added ChoiceBox() which lets a user pick from an array of choices choosing a single or multiple
• IDE is now significantly more complete and features code competition, syntax highlighting and a proper code editor
• Added Abstract keyword for use on creating functions in a Class if a function is Abstract it works the same as normal function however if another class inherits it then it MUST define a function with the same name as the abstract function or else an exception will happen
• Added EvalSyntax()
• GUICodeCode and GUICreate "CodeBox" it is a text control that can support syntax , auto competition etc it is used by Sputnik IDE
• Added GUILinkValid()
• Added flag to Regex Match /v to match against array keys instead of values (it will only use string keys not numeric keys)
• Added flag to Regex Match /b require all elements in an array match instead of any
• Added flag to Regex Replace /v do replacement on array keys instead of values (it will only use string keys not numeric keys)
• Regex Match now supports Arrays in the While and Foreach loops
• Many new things added to GUIWindow()
• Eval() given a new flag so it can remove functions and classes that are spawned during the eval
• More options added to GUIPictureBox()
• Added GUIHotkeyBox() which allows users to enter a hotkey they want similar to a windows hotkey control
• Added GUIHotkey() to get/set stuff in a HotkeyBox
• RealGetKeyState() supports more options and ability to use GUIHotkeyBox
• More options added to GUIListBox()
• More options added to GUIComboBox()
• Made InputBox()/InputBoxEx()/FileOpenDialog()/FileSaveDialog() to now return NULL if the user cancels
• Fixed many examples
• Added constants for Console colours
• Added more options to GUIRichTextBox()
• FontDialog() returns null on cancel
• ColourDialog() returns null on cancel
• Added more options to GUITabsheet such as 'OrderTo' to change order of the tabs
• Added GUICreate "Font"
• Added TimerInit()
• Added TimerDiff()
• Added Properties with Get/Set works the same as C# for use in Classes
• Added WinMenuSelectItem‎()
• Improved KeyHook() to now properly display the unicode character that the user pressed rather than the ASCII VK_CODE so you should now see exactly what key was pressed in a readable way
• Fixed all Control__() commands they were failing to find using the advanced INSTANCE setting
• Fixed the TestOperator so when you do $a = -sqrt(4) it correctly handles it has a function and negates it
• Added EnumAdd() it can dynamically add new keys and values to an enum at runtime
• Added EnumDel() it can dynamically delete new keys and values from an enum at runtime
• Added a series of flags to Random() to allow for generation it Int64 size random numbers
• Added RemoveValue() to delete a specific value from inside an array such as a class or something equally tricky to normally find and delete (takes into account pretty much everything from strict to recursive and of course handling deleting an array as the needle!)
• Added RemoveKey() to remove a specific key from an array not much different from unset($array[$key]) but added nevertheless (takes into account recursive etc)
• Added RemoveValues() to delete an array of values from inside an array such as a classes or something equally tricky to normally find and delete (takes into account pretty much everything from strict to recursive and of course handling deleting an array as the needle!)
• Added RemoveKeys() to remove an array of key from an array not much different from unset($array[$key]) in an array loop but added nevertheless (takes into account recursive etc)
• Flags (such as Args-false etc) can now be added to Operator and Cast overload functions

Whats New

• Added Metaphone()
• Added Soundex()
• Added Levenshtein()
• Altered the $a++; and ++$a; when used on a STRING to increment it like Perl for example, in Sputnik, PHP and Perl $a = 'Z'; $a++; turns $a into 'AA', and $a = 'Test1'; $a++; turns $a into 'Test2'
• Added Rot13()
• Added StrShuffle()
• Added StrTok()
• Added EscapeMeta() it works same as PHPs (QuoteMeta())
• Added EscapeShellArg()
• Added EscapeShellCmd()
• Added Exec() command to be a bit more friendly to PHP users (It does same thing as the Run() commands but works in a slightly different way)
• Added ExecShell() same as Exec() but just returns the string
• Added ExecSystem() same as PHPs System() (but not same as Sputniks System())
• Added Passthru() which is just allows binary output to console etc
• Added CountChars() works the same as PHPs CountChars with mode 1 since I feel that is the only mode that matters
• Added BinaryToStr it returns a new string containing the binary data as raw bytes (It allow use of all the string functions on raw binary data)
• Added BinaryFromStr it returns a new binary variable created from a strings raw bytes (It will allow ability to turn the string back to a binary variable)
• Added SubStrCmp()
• Added HTMLSpecialChars()
• Added HTMLSpecialCharsDecode()
• Added FmtNumber()
• Added PrintableEncode()
• Added PrintableDecode()
• Added StripTags() for stripping HTML tags from strings
• Added AddBR() for adding HTML breaks to strings at newlines
• Added Glob() has feature set same as PHP
• Added FileMatch() it's basically a wrapper for Glob to check against a string (filename) rather than finding stuff in a folder (Equal to PHP function FnMatch)
• Added Hebrev()
• Added Hebrevc()
• Added CountWords()
• Added HTMLEntities()
• Added HTMLEntityDecode()
• Added HTMLTranslationTable
• Binary variables created with Pack, BinaryCreate etc etc can now make use of !, !=, ==, <, >, <=, operators also when you try display in string context the binary will no longer just say {BINARY:30} it will print the string that the binary bytes would be if it was a string
• Added Crypt() works similar to Perls
• Added /r flag to the tr/// for non-destructive
• You can do now goto _case4; to jump to case ID 4 (the 5th case in the list of cases since 0 is also counted)
• You can do goto _caseTest; to jump to a case by its ID you can set an ID like by typing Case Test "Cat": this will create a Case "Cat": as normal but with the added ID thrown in there
• When you do return; it no longer returns the last variable assignment instead it returns NULL
• Break 3; (optional arguments) now work correctly when activated from inside a Switch/Select
• Added ability for Foreach to unpack nested arrays with List() statement
• Added Range() function for creation of arrays (works same as PHPs)
• Added Fill() works same as array_fill() in PHP
• Added IsArray() its the reverse of IsHash() so it will return true only if all the elements in the array are numeric keys
• Added FillKeys() works same as array_fill_keys() in PHP
• Added Pad() works same as array_pad() in PHP
• You can now cast objects as binary like printr (binary)"Hello world"; it will produce the binary bytes of the given variable so you will get correct bytes for an int, double, string etc (when used on a string this will be same byte size as the strings length it will ignore all extra unicode bytes it acts like the string is ASCII)
• Added Binary() function to cast an expression as binary like Binary("Hello World");
• Added Vec() function it is similar Perls Vec() function (It works the same way and produces same result but has an extra parameter see wiki for details)
• Added the ability to explicitly tell Sprintf() (and anything that uses it such as Printf()) which argument to use for example printf '%2^d %1^d', 12, 34; will print 32 12 since in the first format string we put 2^ telling it to use argument 2 (remember format itself is argument 0) this will prove most useful as it will allow the same parameter to be used multiple times (It uses ^ so that it does not get in the way if "" strings are used Perl does the same thing but using the $ operator so 2$ is same as Sputniks 2^)
• Changed how bitwise/arithmetic works on strings now works more like Perl in that it no longer limits to 8 bytes but will instead use every character in the string the (Bitwise String Operators now produce the same results as Perl)
• Changed the console so it will print NULL chars as spaces to avoid weird console trimming that makes no sense
• Sprintf() (and everything that uses it such as Printf()) has been made binary safe so it wont fail when it finds a null terminator in a string
• Fixed a crash on InStr() if 4 parameters are used
•  !== now requires both items be the same Data type as well being different content (Before it would require them both to be different types which would cause issues if you did 0 !== null)
• Fixed every function that could potentitally end when finding a NULL byte in a string and made it continue to the full length of the string this is to fix any issues with using binary strings
• Completely remade the Pack() and Unpack() with a new one and added a lot of new types and lost nothing everything still works (This does not change how existing functions work so ReadMem() uses the new Unpack() however the return value remains unchanged) the only change to be take note of is L and l has been moved to Q and q respectively.
• Changed casting to char when used with strings so (char)"8364" no longer produces char 8 but '€' this is because it now sees strings that contain a numeric value as a possible Unicode character number
• Added Char() function for converting an expression to a character (uses unicode)
• Added Binary Literals you define them like 0b101 (will print 5)
• Added Oct() function works the same as the one in Perl
• If you have a string like "0x34" or "0b101" it will be converted to an integer properly instead of returning 0
• Added Ord() function it is an alias for AscW()
• Added Chop()
• Added Chomp()
• Changed BinaryCompare() to return < 0, > 0 and = 0 same as StrCmp()
• Added two extra parameters to BinaryCompare() for offset and length of the compare
• Added new cast (ASCII) and new function ASCII() which will convert the string it recieves and return an ASCII version of it (trimming out all unicode characters it does not even try cast the Unicode characters it just ignores them as if they don't exist this is equal to "RAW" in BinaryFromStr())
• BinaryMid() now accepts same start, length stuff that SubStr() does
• It is now possible to set binary variables by index [] with strings now (instead of just characters and numbers like before) $a[0] = 'T'; now works where as before you had to $a[0] = @'T';
• Added BinaryStripNull() to remove all null bytes from a binary variable
• Fixed FileReadBinary() and StreamToBinary()
• Added UUEncode()
• Added UUDecode()
• Added DecOct()
• Added CRC32() for use on Strings etc
• Added BinaryCRC32()
• Parsing now uses a stack to save lines and file names so it shouldnt lose track of errors anymore
• You can now do the =~ s/// Regexp replacement on arrays nothing will be returned unless you set /r non-destructive flag
• You can now do the =~ m/// Regexp match on arrays it will return the first match it finds

Sputnik 0.20 @ 09-19-2013 10:58 PM

Whats New

• Added FileRecycle() function to move files or folders to recycle bin
• Added FileRecycleEmpty() function to empty the recycle bin

• Added PrintErr() function works exactly same as Print() but uses STD_ERROR instead
• Added PrintErrLn() function works exactly same as PrintLn() but uses STD_ERROR instead
• Fixed a strange bug that was causing some ^= operations to be seen as &=
• Made a start on giving Sputnik the ability to create and use .NET objects/classes etc including setting/getting their variables/properties and calling their methods and the ability to call static methods that involve no object creation (like Console.WriteLine())
• Fixed a bug in Sprintf() (and everything that inherits from it like Printf()) that causes objects to not get displayed UNLESS it is a binary array
• GUI Builder was failing to load the example projects (due to changes in how strings are parsed) this has been fixed with the correct escapes added to the save/load process (of course new projects would have worked just fine)
• Added Use() command it can be used to import .NET namespaces etc for creation of .NET objects
• "New" is no longer a statement but is now a normal function however it works exactly same as before and you should notice no changes (It still creates classes but now it has the added bonus of creating .NET objects too).
• Functions LoadAssembly(), UnloadAssembly(), GetMethod() and Invoke() removed as it is no longer needed (the newer .NET stuff allow a much better way of doing things) at least Invoke() is free again I'm sure I can find a use for it (Removed object type assembly, method for obvious reasons)
• You can now use ¬ with q qq qw qww qx qqx
• You can now use , in Select() and Switch() statements so instead of doing just case "Dog": you can do case "Dog", "Cat": and so on
• Added With() statement works similar to VB's With..EndWith so you can place a class into it and access the class directly without the need to use -> and enter classes name etc
• You can now place goto _default; inside a Case on a Switch/Select and it will instantly jump to the default: statement (This uses a hardcoded jump and does not rely on Sputniks goto at all so it should be be a lot faster)
• Added Clone() function for cloning of classes
• Added ability to use Redo; anywhere on a Try,Catch,Finally statements blocks that will instantly start over from the top and begin the try all over again
• Fixed a potential bug in Try,Catch,Finally that could in could the stack to not get popped after an exception

Sputnik 0.19 @ 09-16-2013 10:25 PM

Whats New

• Added qww keyword it works similar to qw but instead of making an array it seeks to make a dictionary or keys/values
• Changed the - negative operator to switch from negative to positive rather than simply staying on negative
• Fixed chance of overflow exception on cast/negate of UIntPtr and IntPtr
• Added RegexMatch() function that is basically a wrapper for the =~ m// however it has some additional features
• Added RegexReplace() function that is basically a wrapper for the =~ s/// however it has some additional features
• =~ m// and RegexMatch() now return a bool true/false instead of integer 1/0 on matches (Sputnik didn't have a bool for a long time so not all functions return as a bool but 1 and 0 is treated as bools regardless this is just to make it better with === and !==)
• Added k flag to Regex matching this flag causes the group index 0 to not be returned in the matching array
• Made Foreach work with regex matches and added example to wiki
• Added /a flag to Regex matching this flag makes it so instead of returning the matched item as a string it will return an array containing the matched item, its index (where it was found) and its length (length of the match)

• Improved the HTTP.spk to use Read() if GET is not the REQUEST_METHOD
• Added @N macro that acts like @NL (newline) in normal mode but if #cgi flag is given then it will return
  instead useful if you want to have the same script work in console/webserver with no changes
• Added \m escape to strings works similar to \n in that it will do a newline or
  depending if the #cgi flag has been set
• Added qx() operator works the same as Perls its just a shorthand version of RunWait() with return std out

• Added `` strings works same as qx() so `dir` will return the output from dir
• Added @`` works same as `` however it does not resolve \n and $vars etc
• You can now define a variable like ${Name} in strings (same as $Name) the benefits however are easier placement of variables next to normal words like "${Dog}Hello" and ability to use class stuff inside strings like "Price is ${var->$Price} and name is ${var->$Name} ok"
• Added \o escape of ASCII Octal notation example "\o101" prints A and "\o1012" prints A2 (ASCII octal uses 3 characters)
• Added \o{} escape works same as \o but allows full UNICODE range of characters in octal notation
• Can now define \x escape as \x{nnn} (any valid number of characters)
• Added \R escape which is basically same as @CRLF it prints the same as "\r\n"
• Added option for FileSave/FileWrite/FileAppend to save with ASCII encoding (if you happen to need that for some reason) there is no need to change any other file functions since they already handle ASCII/Unicode for example FileLoad, FileRead etc automatically handle the file encoding
• Added /r flag to =~ s/// (regex replace operator) this flag makes it so the original is unmodified yet the result is still returned
• Added tr// operator works same as Perls $cat =~ tr/a-z/A-Z/;
• Added y// operator works exactly same as tr// (Just to be more friendly to Perl users)
• Sputnik will now REMOVE variables from local/global stacks when you do an assignment = in the past Sputnik would grab the variable by that name and insert the new data into it which worked great for most part however with references in certain situations it would overwrite, So now it will always remove the old version from the variable table then insert the new one in its place (but only when the = operator etc is used remember that behind the scene many things use the = operator that you don't see so it benefits all them too basically anything that "sets" a variable).
• You can now use regex in a Switch() statement for example make a case like this case m/\w+/:
• You can now use number pattern in a Switch() statement for example make a case like this case 0..10:
• You can now use hex number pattern in a Switch() statement for example make a case like this case 0x100..0x200:
• You can now use alpha pattern in a Switch() statement for example make a case like this case 'A'..'Z':
• You can now use decimal alpha pattern in a Switch() statement for example make a case like this case c64..c99:
• You can now use arrays in a Switch() statement for example make a case like this case array("Test", "One", "Two", "Three"): or a variable containing an array such as case $myarray: it will scan each value of the array for a match
• Added new regex flag /t by default, the regular expression engine searches from left to right. You can reverse the search direction by using the /t flag.
• Added new regex /n flag it does not capture unnamed groups. The only valid captures are explicitly named or numbered groups of the form (?<name> subexpression)
• Added new regex /c flag causes it to ignore cultural differences in language.
• Added new regex /p flag it causes the pattern to not be parsed for variables etc (For regex match only)
• Added new regex /p flag it causes the SEARCH pattern to not be parsed for variables etc (For regex search/replace only)
• Added new regex /P flag it causes the REPLACE pattern to not be parsed for variables etc (For regex search/replace only)
• Added Warn() command to show a warning message with source file name and line number (same as in Perl)
• Added Time() function to return current Unix timestamp
• Added StripWS() a general purpose function to strip whitespace characters in a variety of ways or optionally you can supply it with a list of characters to strip instead of whitespace
• Each Eval() call and any other function that executes Sputnik code found in strings now displays information on where this code error took place rather than just stating the error happened
• StrTr now fully works with Unicode (Was a glitch that didn't before)

• Count() function added this ALWAYS returns how many elements are in an array or binary array etc (includes hash keys as well)
• UBound() has been modified to now return the index of the highest element in the array (instead of total count)
• LBound() added and returns the lowest index in the array (Since arrays in Sputnik are dynamic like PHP you could have a LBound at 6 and UBound at 200 however running Order() function will move the indexes to start from 0 alternatively Unshift() will also do that and of course Count() will return the total amount of elements)
• Improved speed of loops by up 2-3 fold (Which also improved speed of Math a bit)
• HTTPDownload() now accepts a new param that lets you define a variable to store and will be used as $param in the Progress() and Completed() events (Useful for storing the class $this).
• Fixed a major bug (introduced by accident) which caused a classes $this variable to become NULL when using unset($classvariable);
• FileDownload.spk is now in the Lib folder this class can be used to easily download files.
