C to Basic converter but I do not understand how to feed the converter

[GNorth]

The converting script from C to Basic:

http://www.fadedtwilight.org/Downloads/SCRIPTS/c2bas.zip

c2bas.vbs is the name of script after unzipping.

c2bas.vbs renames the input C source code *.c to *.bas source code.

But for some reasons the content of the *.bas remains blank

I am not familiar enough with VBS scripting to understand what's wrong.
Below is part of the source code of c2bas.vbs

     Option Explicit
    '
    ' ============================================
    ' ConvertC2BAS Script
    ' Developed by Rick Coogle
.....etc (280 linjes of code).

I am not feeding my C source code correctly to this Converting_Script.

This is the source code I am trying to convert to Basic ( any Basic)

If someone can give me some direction how to feed the C source code correctly, this would be appreciated?

Does anyone know of an other C to Basic(any Basic) converter?

There are several issues here!

1. Check out lines 7 and 8 of the file c2bas.vbs

' PURPOSE: To convert C style constants and UDT declarations
' to standard VB syntax

The script is to convert C style CONSTANTS (not PROGRAMS)

2. In general the structure of different languages is sufficiently different for meaningful machine translation from a low-level language (such as C) to a higher level language (such as VB) to be near impossible

3. It will probably be easier for you to learn C than to attempt an auto-translater - the C program that you reference is quite trivial. Start from here:

4. The script that you reference is VBSCript, not VB6. If you haven't spotted the difference, you may have quite a steep learning curve ahead!

Thank johnwm

Sorry for posting to the VB forum instead of the VBS forum. Searched VBS form but I could not find it.

Excelent results with your Google URL

I subscribed to VTC C and I am now learning C.
