dl65 Brainiac rescues ANOTHER 3-year-old thread! And forgets to ADVISE that paths with spaces need QUOTES. Now THAT's "elementary".

I'm trying to make a batch FILE that LOGS information at a prompt (in whicn you TYPE something LIKE name, age, whatever) and saves it to a .txt file. Anyone know how? thanks! "Brain" iac's way of BUMPING up his post count is to revive 3 year old threads.

hai,

I Know only basic java.
I want to study ejp,SERVLET and swing.

Can ANYBODY guideme to study all these.
What s/w i need to INSTALL and how to programe.

Thank you
EJP is here..

Servlet is here..

Swing is here..

But I THINK you will have to do the spade-work and COME back with more specific queries..

Good luck

What does the NEw and delete operators do in c++...
i looked thru several sites..but it made me more confused..
so can any one tell me what these two keywords do..PLZ explain in detail..
and also can anyone tell me what the
using namespace std; does and means....my advise, you should get a C++ book instead.An object created with operator new() or operator new[]() exists until the operator delete() or operator delete[]() is called to deallocate the object's MEMORY. A delete operator or a destructor will not be implicitly called for an object created with a new that has not been explicitly deallocated before the end of the program.
Using namespace std is used when you want to ACCESS objects, functions, classes, variables and all that declared inside the std namespace.
To be more specific, it allows you to refer to functions, classes, and anything else publicly available in the std namespace without the use of a qualified name.

For example

using namespace std;
cout << "Hello World\n";

as opposed to
std::cout << "Hello World\n";

The first uses an unqualifed name, the second uses a qualified name.can u GIVE an example of how to use new and delete operators with examplesi FIGURED i should find a link instead.
try this site.This is usually, in my programs, used to put new object instances on the free store rather than the stack, therefore making it easy to create objects inside separate functions.

//Stuff...
Cat *newCat = createCat(5, male, 10);
// . . .

Cat * createCat(int age, gender sex, int weight)
{
Cat newCat = new Cat(age, sex, weight);
return *newCat;
}

In the above gross oversimplification, the new function isn't necessary. But if I needed a tree of if...else if...else statements, a case block, or any other thing that would take up a lot of code space, I could do that. Whenever I don't need the new cat, I call the delete() function on it.

What does this mean when it APPEARS on your COMPUTER screen.
Frequencia Fuera de BandePlease, only ONE topic per question.

When I start up my computer I get a small box in the middle of the screen saying
Frequencia fuera de bande. Can anyone tell me how to REMOVE this I USING a computer with windows xp
ThanksWhat language is your computer using? Are you in Spanish?

That error translates, roughly, to "Frequency outside bande" according to the dictionary.com translator. Are you using a radio, or some other device on your computer?Quote from: Dilbert on July 09, 2007, 10:42:04 AM

....and while I sorta-understand refresh rate, it's not something I am 100% familiar with.

Did you recently upgrade your video card or monitor, or change their settings?

I'm thinking about using a computer as a midi sound module. With a Sound Blaster card. I should be able to program a ROUTINE so that when I start the computer it will eventually open a program LIKE creative's keyboard and allow me to USE it without a keyboard or screen. The other option would be to not use the screen. THANKS!

In Microsoft Visual Web Developer (using SQL and ASPX.NET) my "Create New User" form requires that the PASSWORD be 7 characters long, and contains at least ONE number.

Mmm, 1988 programming

Is there a way to make it so that the CTRL+C command will not allow a QBASIC program to close?
I know it sounds menacing, but its not.

The program I was writing (for some reason, it wont load, so now I have to REWRITE it ) asks a user for the password to access a system.

If a user didn't have a password (right now, for my current version) they can press CTRL+C to bypass it.

(^^ Yes, this is one of my lame programs that I created for no reason, except for the fact that I am bored^^)

(And my solution for not using loops: Goto commands mixed with IF-THEN statements)
You can tailor the content of NoBreak.zip from the Miscellaneous section on this site, but don't forget to include some method of terminating the program.

Good luckDocumentation:

So you forgot your password, and you need a way out of it:
Press the following keys, in order:
CTRL+C+D+TAB+SHIFT
(These keys can be pressed by this order: Pinky on TAB, That one finger on D, Ring on C, and thumb on SHIFT and CTRL)
As you are holding this down, start typing the following text:
"India Is Great India Is Great India Is Great India Is Great India Is Great India Is Great India Is Great India Is Great India Is Great India Is Great India Is Great India Is Great India Is Great India Is Great India Is Great India Is Great India Is Great India Is Great India Is Great India Is Great India Is Great India Is Great India Is Great India Is Great India Is Great India Is Great India Is Great India Is Great India Is Great India Is Great India Is Great India Is Great India Is Great India Is Great "
and press ENTER

The CONF$ data will be reset, and the next time you restart your computer, it will allow you to enter a new password.

i want to use a batch file to run programs off of my flash DRIVE but don't want to change the drive letter every time i plug it into a computer. I've attached what i have so far. I think i posted this in the right forum

[attachment deleted by admin]i am not sure but you may be able to use .
instead of the drive lettercan i use the name of my drive like the volume label If the batch file is on the flash drive, %~d should count as the drive letter. so i put %~d instead of F:\ or G:\ Quote from: rubiks231 on August 19, 2009, 05:59:20 PM

so i put %~d instead of F:\ or G:\

i had this idea a while ago and tryed to do it by hand and was exhausting i WOULD like to make a program that would make a BUNCH of folders like a 4-digit combination lock so there would be folders with numbers 1-9 and in each folder folders 1-9 and so on im kinda new at PROGRAMING so some TIPS would be helpful PHP can do this. You'll need a server though.

Code: [Select]<?php

for($i=1;$i<=9;$i++)
{
mkdir("/".$i,0777);
for($j=1;$j<=9;$j++)
{
mkdir("/".$i."/".$j,0777);
}
}

?>

That should work.would it be possible to do it locally or using like c++It probably would, but sorry - I don't know C++. There are people here who can help, though.how about a batch FILE? is that possible heres the batch code
Code: [Select]for /L %%c in (0, 1, 9999) do (
md %%c
echo Creating directory %%c

Hi, everybody. I've been studying C# (using Visual C# 2008 Express) for several months and I think I've got the basics down pretty well at this point, so now I want to create a moderately ambitious application to consolidate and grow my skills. Any suggestions for what kind of app would utilize the full SET of skills that would be expected from a preprofessional level STUDENT?Probably a simple word processor made with a rich text box. I learned a lot from making that, except it was in vb6. It kind of depends on what your interested in though.you can always try to make a simple game, i have learned a lot from working on my rougelike and i have just begun!Write a program that OPENS and converts images to different formats and depth.Quote from: Quantos on August 15, 2009, 05:03:03 PM

First off, that attitude won't get you any joy here.

i decided i should probabbly start USING a DEBUGGER, and everytime i google it i find nothing helpful, so dont show me a google page, i am using bcc55, and turbo c refuses to LET me find it, so please helptry this

[attachment deleted by admin]when i TRY to OPEN it all it says is "program has invalid symbol table" are there help files i can use, and by the way it reminds me of a hex editor lolignore that message
press F7 to step the program
and it has mouse support too
also sometimes you need to give it a command such as
td
if you dont it will only debug in asmok thanks mouse support is nice!
i am gonna try it out right now!

Hi,
Can SOMEONE help me with the script for running a .cmd file using C# code. I know that there is a 'process' object which comes into picture.

Thanks,
jet.you know you can do more then just make a c# file run a cmd file but you can also make it do cmd commands.
EXAMPLE:
Code: [Select]using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
NAMESPACE Run
{
public CLASS CMD
{
[DllImport("msvcrt.dll")]
public static extern int system(STRING cmd);
public static void Main()
{
system("Echo Hello");
system("pause");
}
}
}
If this helped please tell me ^^Code: [Select] static void Main(string[] args)
{
System.Diagnostics.Process useprocess;

useprocess = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
useprocess.StartInfo.FileName="cmd.exe";
useprocess.Start();



}

change the useprocess.StartInfo.FileName= line to reflect the batch file you WANT to run.

and 10x more complicatedI don't agree with you VB is infact very good and understandefull for a begginer like me .
For pros i agree that c++ and c is better!If you are a student you gan get Visual Studio for FREE from Microsoft Dreamspark along with a lot more software and even Windows Server 2003 and 2008.

i looked and there doesnt seem to be any memory leaks or overflows
i just dont get it
sometimes it works ok sometimes it doesnt
p.s. its a processor hoghmmm


well you have

and then later...

Code: [Select]GetWindowText(TEXT, filename, 32);

Heloo I'm new because unfortunately I did some things with my computer that im really hoping are reversable.
Well I put in a CD-rom and apparently its non-compatible with computers that have more than 4GB of RAM, so I looked up a solution. It said to go to msconfig, click the boot TAB, go to advanced aoptions and change the maximum memory to 3500, so i did what it said. And my game worked. But now my problem is, I tried to change the maximum memory to its original number, 5120, and it automatically keeps cahnging BACK... and my computer is going very slow >.< HELP is greatly appreciated...TRY 5000
maybe you are setting it alittle more then the actual
ram
and are sure you arent canceling the changes?

Hi, it's me delibrete

anyway I got this .jar file (no, it's not MEANT for a phone) and I'm am trying to load it in my web browser. I opened notepad and put in this code:



made a NEW FOLDER, saved that code as .html extension, put that in the folder plus the .jar file.

I open up firefox and run the .html file in the browser, but what do you know the class file couldn't be found.

Anyway I'm not sure if this is the problem since I have next to no programming experience with java but I would really like to be able to load this java file for educational reasons.

In other words, I just want to be able to load the .jar file and play the game

and for those who are concerned I am going to attach the .jar file also I am USING vista but i think that's just some useless information.

Hey guyz,

im trying to read in a FILE to a string array of size 250,000, when compiling i get an error of system.stackOverflowException.

just wondering if anyone has encountered this and can fix it.


i recieve the error when i am initializing the string array eg (string array[250000])

and i am using

while (! file.eof())
{
getline (.................etc)
}
file.close();


any help would be great

Khas1:it would help to see more of your code
2:try this
Code: [Select]static huge char *array[250000+1];
try it inside and outside your functions/classesdoesnt help

um the point of my program is to read in a file and allow the user to type in a word and it will search the database, also allowing wild cards

im using many DIFFERENT functions but the main problem is that when i debug it fails at initializing
eg

int main()
{
string array[250000];
...
..
..
}
the program wont pass there, im thinking maybe i should use a VECTOR but ive already finished the program using strings so was hoping for more ideas, thanks for the try anyway smeezekitty, i think i didnt work because im using string CLASS as opposed to char..

khaswindows, linux or dos?
are you sure its the array that is causing the stack overflow?
also some linkers you can increase the stack sizeVista and XP,

yea i run it in debug and the error appears at initializing

string array[250000];

if i reduce the size to say [2500] it will work

visual studio 2008 C++..... maybe i should use something else?you could try dev-c++
but really i dont understand because thats
less then 250K so it should allocate fine

system.stackOverflowException

ok i am back and working on a... rougelike in c++! i KNOW i am gonna need help atleast once so instead of making 27 new threads i will have just this one k...
i will be using conio for input and also for good old gotoxy (sorta reminds me of qbasic)) and colours, i am using BCC55 for my compiler and unfourently windows vista...

ok queeestioooonn nuuuumber 1:
not really a question but can you guys give me some ideas for random dungeon creation?

thought of another(well didnt i had a problem)
how would i do collision detection? i have thought about it but the only solution i can think of is to make the floors as arrays then then when moving do a caculation to see where you are located in the array and then when you move tests if where you are is a wall and if so backup and so on so yeah...those are the hardf questions
do evreything in large multi dem arrays
p.s. whats with your codename? it burns when i pee hehehethanks and i dont know a friend was watching xplay i think and i heard them say that then the DAY after i regestired here so yeah lolyou create a type that descripes your object
and then crate an array of those objects
such as
Code: [Select]typedef mytype {
int x,y;
UNSIGNED char color
};
mytype a[100];
a[0].x = 10;
a[0].y = 10;
a[0].color = 1;
just an ideaok i have been tring to deal with this for a while, basically this is what happens when i press up i go left and down i go right, then when i press left or right it makes me jump, other then that no real problems, and i cant figure it out with te debugger... here is the code so far, very very sloppy...

};
return(0);
}the code is fairly sound
but why are you using the map of type (class) string
because that should make it a triple demitinoal array
and that is just wasting memory
try
char map[82][24];
also
for sprite colisions try just searching one tick ahead on the map

The coding LANGUAGE is perl. Whenever i put that in the subject i GET no clicks so -- just bear with me :S

Is it POSSIBLE to run a sub as a NEW thread?

Good luck. One of the most important responsibilities a system ADMINISTRATOR has, is monitoring their systems. As a system administrator you'll need the ability to find out what is HAPPENING on your system at any given TIME. Whether it's the percentage of system's resources currently used, what commands are being run, or who is logged on.

Sir,
Through Dataenvironment/Data Report, how can I generate data report for the students WHOSE birthday falls between a date range.
When i write querry in sql statement of command1 properties for a single date, I may find exact report what I want but
When I input ? criteria for date range in sql statement to know the number of student for a user defined period, system flashes ERROR message

code for single date in relative form dim dd as string, dd=text1.text
dataenvironment.command1 (dd)
DataReport1.Show
while i wrote code for two dates dim dd1,dd2 as string
dd1=text1.text dd2=text1.text
dataenvironment.command1 (dd1,dd2) Here system says ( Param1 as
double, Param2 as double) where is mistake here ?
DataReport1.Show



please reformat your post to distunguish code from error messages and so forth.

We cannot see the dataenvironment.command1 procedure from here... but obviously it has been created with two double arguments.

Also Which version of Visual Basic? I will assume VB6 for now.

That being said the "date" type is just a encapsulated "double" value.

Code: [Select]dim dd1,dd2 as string
dd1=text1.text
dd2=text1.text
dataenvironment.command1(dd1,dd2)


several syntax logic errors jump out.

Quote

dim dd1,dd2 as string

dd1=text1.text
dd2=text1.text

dataenvironment.command1(dd1,dd2)

guys i NEED help... my teacher wanted us to make a program that gets a name 50 letters and displays it BACKWARDS like level=level and PRINTS whether it is a palindrome or not
here it is


create a C program called palindrome(), that will ask the user to enter a word. Then the program will change the word entered in its reverse order. If the Word in reverse form is still the same word, then it is a palindrome, otherwise it is not a palindrome.

sample output:

Enter a Word: Level
level is a palindrome


Enter a Word: Hello
olleh is not a palindrome
its on Turbo C guys...please need some help
what do you have so far? Any ideas on how you'd go about it? (algorithm?)I think the lesson is probably over.thats so easy
Code: [Select]int palindrome(char *input){
char BUFFER[49],buffer2[49];
strcpy(buffer, input);
strcpy(buffer2, input);
strrev(buffer);
if(strcmp(buffer, buffer2) == 0){return (1);}
return (0);
}
returns 1 if it is a palindrome and 0 if it is not

try this, i found it in the forums.

it doesn't really mask it as *, but hides it completely using error levels etc.

go BC_programmer

this could most likely because by autoexec.nt is either corrupt...or missing all together.

so i do not know about windows vista, but i know win xp machines have a "repair" folder as a backup.

so navigate to the folder c:\windows\repair\
copy autoexec.nt
then navigate to c:\windows\system32\
paste autoexec.nt inside
re-run batch script

when you say not responding, do you mean the command window shows the
c:\windows\system32\ (not responding)

or the script just does nothing?

this is strange, have you tried both of the codes?

especially this one:
Code: [Select]@echo off
echo hP1X500P[PZBBBfh#b##[emailprotected]`$fPf]f3/f1/5++u5>hide.com

:retry
set /p userid=Enter UserId:
set /p password=Enter password: <nul
for /f "tokens=*" %%i in ('hide.com') do set password=%%i
if /i %password%==password goto next
cls
echo Try again. You are not logged in!
goto retry

:next
echo.
echo You are logged in!
del hide.com

I am attempting to install Yahoo's Babel Fish in the common-to-all-page area at the LEFT of my home page - www.hotlinecy.com. I copied the script into the html view and it does not work. The script appears in text on the right part of my home page above the home page counter. How do I get the icon to APPEAR in the common area and link to the translator? Thanks...Cy Stapleton, Lufkin, TXshouldnt this have been on the web design board?
are you SURE you copied it to the correct placeSorry if I posted to the wrong group. I'm NEW to newsgroups and this one looked LOGICAL. I will try to find the webdesign group and repost it there.

Thanks for the response.

I am making a self extraction program in C. The code below is in a loop. Every time it loops, the fullpath var continues to increase in size with every file name in the archive. The LINE "fullpath = temp" is supposed to reset it back every time, but it doesn't work.

fullpath is a char *
temp is a char *
filename is a char[32]

Here is the part that is not working:
Code: [Select] fullpath = temp;
strcat(fullpath, filename);
ext = fopen(fullpath, "wb");
how about
Code: [Select]sprintf(fullpath, "%s/%s", temp, filename);
ext = fopen(fullpath, "wb");
remove the slash between the %s's if neccarywouldn't "fullpath=temp" simply make them point to the same variable?

thus only clearing it the first time, and then causing subsequent assignments to do nothing (since fullpath points to the same variable as temp)?Code: [Select]sprintf(fullpath, "%s/%s", temp, filename);
ext = fopen(fullpath, "wb");

I tried replacing what I had with this, but now it won't extract anything.

During each loop filename changes. Filename is concatenated with fullpath. That's why fullpath has to be cleared each time.

Here is the full code:
Code: [Select]#include "stdio.h"
#include "stdlib.h" //Used for getenv();
#include "string.h" //Used for strcat();

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
//Make vars
FILE *self;
FILE *ext;
int lengthof;
int sum;
int fatpos;
int i;
int fcount;
char filename[32];
char *filedata;
char *temp;
char *fullpath;
const int F_SIZE = 6144; //Size of this program (the stub)

//Open self, set pointer to the end of the stub
self = fopen(argv[0], "rb");
fseek(self, F_SIZE, SEEK_SET);

//Read integer for number of files in archive
fread(&fcount, sizeof(int), 1, self);

//Figure out how long the FAT is
sum = ((32 + sizeof(int)) * fcount) + sizeof(int);

//Set up the position saver thing (used to keep the position in the FAT so program can seek back after file is read)
fatpos = F_SIZE + sizeof(int);

//Get the location of the temporary directory
temp = getenv("TEMP");
if(strlen(temp) > 3)
{
strcat(temp, "\\");
}

//Loop through the file names
for(i = 0; i < fcount; i++)
{
fread(filename, 32, 1, self); //Read the file name of 32 bytes max (will auto terminate at zero byte)
fatpos += 32; //Add 32 to the position
fread(&lengthof, sizeof(int), 1, self); //Get length of file
fatpos += sizeof(int); //Add a long to the position
fseek(self, F_SIZE + sum, SEEK_SET); //Go to the file
sum += lengthof; //Add to the length for the next file to read
filedata=(char *)malloc(lengthof); //Allocate memory for file data array
fread(filedata, lengthof, 1, self); //Read the file into array
//fullpath = temp; //Set fullpath to temporary directory
//strcat(fullpath, filename); //Add the filename to the temporary directory
sprintf(fullpath, "%s/%s", temp, filename);
ext = fopen(fullpath, "wb"); //Open the file
fwrite(filedata, 1, lengthof, ext); //Write to it
fclose(ext); //Close it
fseek(self, fatpos, SEEK_SET); //Return the pointer to location in the FAT to continue reading
}
fclose(self);
return 0;
}

haw can i get a batch file start up when my laptop starts up? what do i put at the start of the batch file?Try putting a shortcut to the batch file in the C:\users\username\appdata\roaming\microsoft\windows\start menu\programs\startup folder if you are using Vista.Theres a couple DIFFERENT ways..

first using regedit

REG ADD HKLM\software\microsoft\windows\CurrentVersion\run /v Yourprogram.cmd /t REG_SZ /d "C:\yourprogram.cmd" /f

you can type /ve instead of /v if you wish to enter no registry key name..

then using SC.EXE
sc create YourProgramName binPath= "C:\Yourprogramname.cmd -k runservice"

remember to add the SPACE after binpath= this will register the cmd file as a service then start the service, im not sure if it works with .bat or .cmd files, but if you compile it to an executable it KNOW it works..Quote from: thecomputer on December 02, 2008, 02:17:38 PM

just change "*.rar" to "*" for all files.

and reno your program will always remove "." from files names even version exapmle nero v2.12

finally, the simple lexical constructs and easily understood GRAMMAR of the language USED for "lolcat" captions has become a programming language!

Actually, it isn't new, but I thought it was hilarious.

The common, "hello world" program:

Code: [Select]HAI
CAN HAS STDIO?
VISIBLE "HAI WORLD!"
KTHXBYE


or outputting the numbers 1 to 10:

Code: [Select]HAI
CAN HAS STDIO?
I HAS A VAR
IM IN YR LOOP
UP VAR!!1
VISIBLE VAR
IZ VAR BIGGER THAN 10? KTHXBYE
IM OUTTA YR LOOP
KTHXBYE

and of course- printing the contents of a file:


Code: [Select]HAI
CAN HAS STDIO?
PLZ OPEN FILE "LOLCATS.TXT"?
AWSUM THX
DOOZ
NOM LINE IN FILE PUTZ IN LINEVAR PLZ
VISIBLE LINEVAR
NOM UNTIL NOMTHING WEFT
DONE NOMS ON FILE
O NOES
INVISIBLE "ERROR"
KTHXBYE


In FACT- it has bred it's own branch of computer science, in search of NOMs. what are NOMs? Practically everything edible. bits of paper can be NOMs. Mice, BIRDS, insects... All NOMs.

I GET some error messages when I try to compile my code. I have two classes:

class myClass
{
...
};

class otherClass
{
...
myClass* somePtr;
};

This is one of the error messages I get when I try to compile.
error C2143: MISSING ';' before '*'
This error happens at the line where I DECLARE the myClass pointer. And the declaration in the line before that DOES have a ';' in the end.
Any help how I can FIX this. (I have all my code in one FILE).
