I found quiet a lot of tripple dot ( ...) at the samples. and no documentation about it.
like this one in myzip.prg.
-
PROCEDURE Main( ... )

LOCAL hZip, aDir, aFile, aWild, ;
cZipName, cPath, cFileName, cExt, cWild, cPassword, cComment, ;
tmp
LOCAL lUnicode

IF "--unicode" $ hb_CmdLine()
hb_cdpSelect( "UTF8EX" )
hb_SetTermCP( hb_cdpTerm() )
Set( _SET_OSCODEPAGE, hb_cdpOS() )
lUnicode := .T.
ELSE
lUnicode := .F.
ENDIF

aWild := { ... }

- its in the PROCEDURE Main( ... )
- and at aWild := { ... }

pls advise Masters... and tq

The three dots are known in English as an ellipsis, for which the dictionary says:

ellipsis is the omission of one or more words, which must be supplied by the reader.

In your example

- its in the PROCEDURE Main( ... )
- and at aWild := { ... }

It means that you should provide the code for the procedure Main() and the elements for the aWild array in the example -- that the documentation will not provide it, assuming that you will be able to fill in your own processes/data in these places.

Hi,

It is Harbour language enhancement: variable number of parameters.

... at end of param list e.g. FUNCTION MyFunc(cArg1, nArg2, ...)
may be used elsewhere e.g. { ... } array of params

SYNTAX for variable number of parameters
1) [FUNCTION|PROCEDURE] name( ... )
or
2) [FUNCTION|PROCEDURE] name( var1, var2, varN, ... )

To access passed parameters use the following:
PCOUNT() - returns number of passed parameters
HB_PVALUE( iParamNum ) - returns <iParamNum> parameter
HB_APARAMS() - returns array with all passed parameters
or usual name of parameter variable in case of syntax 2)

Hope that useful.
