plzz...help..you get a blank message? If the message was blank, it wouldn't be a message .Quote from: BatchFileCommand on December 31, 2008, 01:08:07 PM

If the message was blank, it wouldn't be a message .

Read his post, then, Mr-rolling-eyes-wise-*censored*.
actually, I think he's referring to the original post.So that makes me the wise-*censored*?no, you didn't use ""

actually, it isn't true. If I show a messagebox with no title and no message, it still appears.Are you referring to the Code: [Select]msg * kind of message ?, if so, how would it appear. Or are you still talking about a message in a batch file that was never there.I have no idea what your going on about (with msg *), but I was talking about the MessageBoxA,MessageBoxW,MessageBoxIndirect, and the "TaskDialog" API routines. You know, the ones used by "real" programming LANGUAGES


passing empty "messages" is different from passing Null messages.


a null string is a string pointer set to null. any usage of this "null string" in any string accepting context will result in an segmentation violation/fault.

a Empty string, on the other hand, is a valid pointer to an empty array of characters. It can be used successfully with string manipulation functions.


So you see, Empty is not Null. what does that have to do with ANYTHING? I don't know, I'm just trying to prove that as long as somebody else is willing to be more pedantic then the last, neither argument wins.


to put it simply, nonexistence is different from inexistence.If we're going to get pedantic, I was always taught to refer to "the" null string, ("") rather than "a". Like "the" empty set {}. Two sets are equal if they have the same elements; therefore there can be only one set with no elements. Hence there is but one empty set, and we speak of "the empty set" rather than "an empty set." Dunno if that helps the OP with his or her problem, but hey!

Just to refresh some peoples memories, the OP wrote this. Note the four blank lines after "following message:", which I semi humorously took to be the "message". Now look what I've started!

Ignoring the fact that the post has set off my "plzz help" phobia, there is not much to go on here without further INPUT from the OP, which I somehow doubt will be forthcoming.

Quote
in·ex·is·tent

adj.

Having no existence; nonexistent.

Quote
inexistence

noun

absence of existence : nonexistence

Care to expand on that?

good POINT, as you say there is only one empty string, thus the is a more appropriate word to use.

ok, just tack on "in the context of my pedantically challenged ramblings" to the end of my last sentence.

It was simply an attempt to confuse.Quote from: Dias de verano on January 01, 2009, 10:18:03 AM

IN- as a prefix is based on the latin word IN meaning not. Nonexistant is just an easier way of saying inexistant.Quote from: Helpmeh on January 02, 2009, 07:48:53 AM

You missed the point. Read the posts again.
