HI first time on here and a rather embaressing problem to begin with.
I was away for work earlier in the week and used my work laptop and webcam to have 'chat' with my WIFE - will the content of that be saved in the computer somewhere? if so is there away i can delete it?
THANKS so much for the help What's the make and model of the webcam, and if it's built in, what's the make and model of the computer? I'm not sure that WEBCAMS save history, but just to make sure. its a dell laptop - not 100% sure of the model
the webcam is not built in - its a micosoft - litecam VX-500
I found no information to suggest a history. ANYWAY, if there was, they probably wouldn't go searching for it.

Hey everyone

Okay, I'm trying, for reasons of my own, (those reasons being for my own curiousity to see if i can do it) to connect my ancient HP200LX palmtop to the internet through a serial port on another computer.
I got the connection fine, the palmtop and laptop (through vb.net 2008) were talking perfectly.
The next step was to extend my vb.net program to send the internet into the palmtop upon request.
Or to be more specific, my gmail email account through POP3.
I have been googling for the PAST three days and have put together from about four different tutorials a reasonably stable pop3 email RETRIEVER - except it doesn't WORK on gmail. Gmail uses SSL, which none of the free tutorials on the internet show you how to program.

Does anyone here have any ideas?
Cheers,
Bones

I would like to know to make a .bat file that will remove an extension (eg: .tif) from a file (or many files) that COULD be located anywhere on my computer.

For example:
C:\MyBackups\090809.tif
C:\TEST\090809.tif
D:\Backups\090809.tif

to
C:\MyBackups\090809
C:\TEST\090809
D:\Backups\090809

I would also like this .bat to run each time Windows boots

Is this possible ?

If so, please post exactly what I need to put in my .bat

Thank you !Here's the code. Save it into your startup folder.
@echo off
For /f "tokens=1,2 delims=." %%a in ('dir /b /s *.tif') do ren %%a.%%b %%aQuote from: Helpmeh on September 08, 2009, 06:25:35 PM

Hi there
I have an array of text such as:
SIZE = 5
array(size,4) as string
array(size,0) = "1H"
array(size,1) = "14D"
array(size,2) = "12H"
array(size,3) = "3H"
array(size,4) = "5H"
and so on

How do i use boolean or anything to CHECK whether this array(i,?) has more than 2 H
How WOULD i write it?

Thank you
Is OK now i have figure it out using substring and counting it

Okay, I've given up on the SSL encryption aspect and are moving to a more USEFUL point to me.
I'm using my palmtop to control windows commands, such as Alt+tab and things like that, and i have been able to get window handles and titles and USED WM_GETTEXT - but how do I get things like text out of the chat part in wlm? I have VERSION 2009 (build 14.0.8064.206)

Place *.vbs SCRIPT under Computer Programming or under Microsoft Dos ?If you want to use it from the command prompt, use the DOS forum, otherwise treat it as a programming question, is my opinion.
Quote from: Salmon Trout on SEPTEMBER 12, 2009, 08:34:13 AM

If you want to use it from the command prompt, use the DOS forum, otherwise treat it as a programming question, is my opinion.

Any complied program or script can be run from the command prompt.

questions about the windows shell would go into the windows forum... or perhaps, more appropriate, a subforum?

IMO the fact that we even help with Command Prompt Issues in the DOS forum is leniency; for all intents and purposes questions about the windows shell would go into the windows forum... or perhaps, more appropriate, a subforum?

My question is: Should a *.vbs script be used to answer a batch question in the Microsoft Dos section?

So I have this project where I'm supposed to count the number of even digits a user inputs using recursive functions, however I don't know what's wrong with my code right now. The function keeps returning 3 digits when you input 2 even digits, and returning 7 when you input 3 even digits. A perfect user is assumed, so there is no need for strings and ARRAYS.


Current code:
Code: [Select]#include <iostream>


using namespace std;

int count = 0;
int number;
int digit;

int evens(int number);

int main(){
cout << "Input number: ";
cin >> number;
cout << evens(number);
return 0;
}


int evens(int number){
digit = number%10; //get last digit
if (number == 0){ //check if end of number and return count
return count;
}
if (digit%2 == 0){ //check if DIVISIBLE by 2
count = count ++; //add to count
evens(number/10); //cut off last digit and repeat
}

evens(number/10);

}how about:

Code: [Select]int evens(int number){

if (number == 0)
return 0; //check if end of number and return count
digit = number%10; //get last digit

if (digit%2 == 0){ //check if divisible by 2
return(1+evens(number/10));
else
return evens(number/10);

}


OVERLOOKING the fact that recursion is a "technique" best avoided (especially for something where an obvious iterative solution is possible) using a Module level variable to determine the results from a recursive function is a bit silly.

Basically, what should happen is-

chop of ones digit.

If even, return 1 added to the even digit count of the number without the ones digit.

otherwise, just return the even digit count of the number w/o the ones digit. (without adding one)

Since this is merely a education exercise, I see no harm in the large number of unnecessary temporary variables.


Also: I MIGHT add that the original cause of your problem was that for even numbers you recursed twice:

as the last line of the function, you have:
Code: [Select]evens(number/10);

which will be executed regardless, even if you had already run it when the if test was true. you might be able to get your version working by placing that particular portion in an else clause. However try running it twice in one program and you'll see a good reason not to use module level variables...

Thanks a lot, I would have use iterations but we had to use recursive functions. I need to go study that chapter again, STILL some things I'm fuzzy on, like EXACTLY how recursive functions (ie this function), would run step by step. :x

Hello everybody

I am just a starter in programming

I have a code here, I think it is VB code

Code: [Select]Private Sub Form_KeyDown(KeyCode As INTEGER , Shift As Integer)
If KeyCode = vbKeyF Then End
End Sub

1. What does this code do?
2. Please give me a code does the same work in delphi

THANKE YOU This seems to be incomplete code, now if it had an END IF with it, then it would end the program.Hello

Thank you M.r macdad-

someone told me that it will do a command when I press F and here it will end it self

well, can you give me a code in delphi can do that?

ThanksmacDad- that IS complete code. a One line if statement doesn't have an end if.

When you press F, the program will end.

THANKS for the correction BC, didn't know that end if isn't required for one-lined If statements.Hello

ok GUYS thank you, what about delphi code

I'm working with MSWord2003's vb and I was wondering how I could change a label's colour depending on how high a slider is set, 100 to deep red, 0 to green, and fade between them (50 is some kind of red/green colour).more details please.
it's VBA, by the way.

In either case you'd probably simply handle an event on the slider; LIKELY "Change".

by doing so you can use the Slider's "Value" to DETERMINE the percentage of red and green.Quote from: BC_Programmer on September 21, 2009, 12:59:30 AM

And it's Microsoft Visual Basic. Press alt+f11 and see.

Manually? It's out of 100. Is there a way that uses the value to create a colour code?

I have been hunting around, but not yet found a way to do this...

Warning: Much stuff Below this line!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Before we begin, I'm using Dev C++ 4.9

Here is how it's supposed to work:

Code: [Select]#include <iostream>
#include <windows.h>
/* Sometimes mingw (part of Dev C++) doesn't include this file, however it might be useful...
*/
#include <stdio.h>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>

int main()
{
new filestr[128]; // String, containing the filename or the path to it, like: C:\myfolder\myfile.txt
new str[96]; // Main data string

printf("Specify the file to open:\n");
cin >> filestr;
/* By default, the TXT extension will be added to filestr
Trying to open filestr.txt

if that file doesn't exist, do this:
Try opening filestr.map
if that file doesn't exist, do this:
Try opening filestr
if that file doesn't exist, do this:
list all files found with similar name, Example: 133.txt, 133.log, 133.inf, 133.ini, 133.map
and let the user choose which one to open

if no files are found, an error message would SHOW: "Error: File doesn't exist!"
else, we just continue:
*/
fstream file;
ofstream FILE;
FILE.open(filestr);
/* Here we begin messing with the text
if the opened file contains any of these, we proceed, else this would appear:"\nError: File Not Useble!\n"

The usual:
AddStaticVehicleEx(modelid, x, y, z, a, colorA, colorB, delay);
Would be changed into:
Vehicle[£] = AddStaticVehicleEx(modelid, x, y, z, a, colorA, colorB, delay);

Or The messy one:

<object name="test">
<position>x y z</position>
<rotation>rX rY rZ</rotation>
<model>OBJ_model</model>
</object>

NOTE: The numbers can be within these ranges:
Name: This is used as a name and/or description FIELD
Position: 3 float variables, raging from -3000 to 3000, example: 2000.1 & 2991.06 & -1200.78
Rotation: 3 float variables, I don't know the range, it's counted in radians
Model: OBJ_model, raging from 1 to 70000

However that block or WHATEVER we should name it, would turn into this:

We start by converting rX, rY and rZ:
rX = RadiansToDegrees(rX);
rY = RadiansToDegrees(rY);
rZ = RadiansToDegrees(rZ);

Note: RadiansToDegrees doesn't exist, I would create it if I knew how to convert between radians and degrees

if name is object or object(int) , we do this:
"Object[@] = CreateObject(modelid, x, y, z, rX, rY, rZ); // name\n";
else we do this:
first we check if 'name' contains spaces and REPLACE them with '_' (underline/underscore)
Then we do:
"name = CreateObject(modelid, x, y, z, rX, rY, rZ);\n";

Now lets continue, this was just the half of it :)
*/
printf("Should the file be saved as a PWN file?");
/* Here we ask the user if he/she want's to save the file as filestr.pwn instead of filestr with it's original
extension.
However, if the user opens a PWN file, it ins't neccesarry to ask about it, so we skip that question and
save the file later as filestr.pwn

if the user chooses yes, we do this: (Applies when asked if save as PWN)
FILE << "#include <a_samp>\n\n"; // This is supposed to be on the first line in the file we write to
*/

// Now lets continue..

int obj_count;
int veh_count;

FILE << "new Vehicle[£] :\n";
FILE << "new Object[@] :\n";

FILE << "// Vehicles:\n";
for(veh_count < £; veh_count++; veh_count = 0){
FILE << "Vehicle[£] = AddStaticVehicleEx(modelid, x, y, z, a, colorA, colorB, delay);\n";
}
FILE << "// Objects:\n";
for(obj_count < £; obj_count++; obj_count = 0){
FILE << "Object[@] = CreateObject(modelid, x, y, z, rX, rY, rZ;\n";
}
cout >> "Vehicles: " >> veh_count << endl;
cout >> "Objects: " >> obj_count << endl;
FILE.close();
printf("\n\nSuccess!");
}

£ means a number which starts from 0 (zero) and increases with each instance of AddStaticVehicleEx()
@ means a number which starts from 0 (zero) and increases with each instance of CreateObject()

Notes:

This should not be case sensitive when reading files

The code isn't supposed to write the same line twice, even if it kinda LOOKS that way

Hello,
This is my first posting so I hope I do it right? I have an HP LAPTOP with Vista. My Operating system is Internet Explorer with Window's 7. My email is program is Road Runner. I am experiencing a PROBLEM with certain email attachments being unreadable when opened. It is a mix up of all different characters comprised of letters & numbers. There are some readable portions but the message cannot be printed out in the same form that it was sent to me. The message always says WORDPAD in the header.
Other computers RECEIVE the same email and have no problems. I have been trying to uninstall WORDPAD in hope that I could reinstall it & perhaps solve my problem but I have not been able to do so. I would be very THANKFUL for any assistance in this matter. Thank you
I don't think WORDPAD is the issue. POST the attachments here and we can see.

Hi FOLKS

I have about 52 image FILES in a folder call resources and as you would want to know, i am making a card game.
I want to write a short code to LOAD all images to an array by using some statement but the problem is that i also need to use the image file name to work with some logic.

For examples:
I have an image called 2H, 3H, 4H, 8C, 9C, AS and so on
Having to know that 2H is 2 of hearts and AS is Ace of spade
I called these files on purpose so i can use numbers and string easily, while working with substring.

So i am looking to get something like this, if it is helpful

For i = 0 to 51
image(i) = image.fromfile(directory)
next

the next things is that i want to use image(i) file name for some other uses
like
image(i).filename.substring(0,1)

Obviously you cant do it with this code but i would like to know WHETHER there is another method

Please Help
Thank YouIs ok now i have SORT it out

Dim dir As New IO.DirectoryInfo("C:\")
Dim fFile As IO.FileInfo
Dim counter As Integer = 0
For Each fFile In dir.GetFiles("*.JPG")
resCards(counter) = Image.FromFile(fFile.FullName)
cards(counter) = fFile.Name
counter += 1
Next

This should display 100 different words (only two distinct word right now), and for each word, wait for the user to press the up or down arrow key. If they press up, say "You Won.", if they press down, say "You Fail.", and either way increase a variable which INDICATES which word to print. Oh, and, if within 5 seconds, no key is pressed, then go on to the next word. It works nothing like it should. PLEASE help me! Oh, and it is written in DarkGDK on Visual C++ 2008 Express.

Hi all,
GOT a VBA question for you. As the subject name suggests, im pretty new to VB, hence why I need some help!

At the moment Ive got a program/form that will search and bring up a list of files stored on a network file directory. The list is displayed in a list box, with the main part of the file name displayed in the left hand column and then the full file name in the right hand column.

What Im trying to do is to create a third column that will display the Date Created for the files, and then ANOTHER BUTTON that will order the files by the Date Created.

As you may suspect someone else wrote the code that search's for the files and Im just trying to add a little more functionality to the program as they've left.

Im just after the code that basically gets the Date Created and PRINTS it in a third column for each of the files. Can post any additional info if needed.

Cheers!

Sir,
I have made a VB-6 application in which it dispalys data of my class students in Msflexigrid. In its DESIGNING, I have defined column WIDTH as PER my requirement such as less width for Roll No but more wide for Name field. My problem is that MsFlexigrid does not allow mouse scrolling like in excel sheet to move up or down through mouse. It does not allow on screen editing too.
When I made same application in DBGrid enabling on screen edit/modify facility but this does not allow me to fix column width as per my requirement as it is possible in MSFlexigrid.
Please help me in
1. Mouse scroll facility in either in DBGrid or MS flexigrid
2. If it is DBGrid, how can I fix Column width.

Lohani

Neither- I recommend using SGrid

http://www.vbaccelerator.com/home/VB/Code/Controls/S_Grid/article.asp

or EVEN better:

http://www.vbaccelerator.com/home/VB/Code/Controls/S_Grid_2/S_Grid_2/article.asp


OR- instead of using DBGrid use the Microsoft DataGrid Control, if possible. (this requires Visual Basic Professional or Enterprise, though)

My instructor wants us to animate a picture in VB 2008. He didn't tell us how to do it. It is not in my book either. I googled how to animate but most of the sites are over my HEAD since I just started my class. Can anyone tell me a simple way to animate an object?So this is homework? We can't help you. Study how animation is done and then you will understand how to do it in VB2008. It involves creating a sequence of pictures, each slightly different from the ONES before and after, so that when they are viewed rapidly in sequence it seems like one moving picture. Perhaps you could create a simple image of a bouncing ball USING equations of motion.

When I see questions like this; I think that the questioner must be in the wrong class because the teacher is assuming a certain level of KNOWLEDGE and understanding in the STUDENTS. If the teacher is wrong, then he is a poor teacher. If the teacher is correct, then the student does not have the right abilities for the class.

The whole point of programming is that you first think about the problem to be solved and work out how it must be done. It won't be in the book. If your next step is to ask on a web forum, maybe you should take a different class?


Thanks for your advice. My instructor never explained how animation worked. I googled how animation worked. I have a couple of ways to do it now.

Anyone know of an alternative to GW-Basic (Line Number Programming) that is not restricted to maximum program memory size of 60k, that is still same language with line numbers used?

Generally 60k is plenty, but lets just say there is a ton of IF statements that eat it up.. ha ha

I should probably rewrite the old program in a newer language like C++ etc, but figured i'd check before recoding all of this. This is a project I had 25 years ago with a game and now at the last 3/4 of the programming I realized crap... even though system has 1.5 GB Ram it can only address 60k of it which is a joke...lol

Would be nice if I can import the game.bas file I have into a newer interpreter that allows for same syntax with line numbers without 60k limit to be able to finish this project.

Found all my work up until about 1991 on a 10MB IDE Hard Drive in an old box of old Tandy manuals etc. Was able to grab all 10MB off drive and play with the small files including GW-basic copyright 1987 version 3.22 as seen in screenshot below.

[attachment deleted by admin]You should use QASIC.EXE which is very close to the same syntax.
Plus has some extra features.
It is on the Windows 98 CD.
Or oogle it and find where you can get a copy FREE. The QuickBasic Interpreter allows for progs up to 160k before the need to use other commands which can increase that considerably. QuickBasic 4.5 is reckoned to be the best release, it's also the last release. Programs written in GWBasic will very often run in the QuickBasic 4.5 IDE without change.

Although there is no need for line numbering in QuickBasic line numbers are acceptable and can be used with the horror-of-horrors instruction GoTo..

Good luck.

QuickBasic Professional Development System 7.1 was actually the last release

Microsoft QuickBASIC (also QB or incorrectly, "QBasic", which is a different system)..... The last version of QuickBASIC was version 4.5 (1988), although development of the Microsoft BASIC Professional Development System (PDS) continued until its last release of version 7.1 in October 1990

can barely manage to get even trivial VB6 applications running in the .NET environment.... However that is a completely different blathering! Tongue

Yes... Le's not go there! He wants a replacement for GW-BASIC that can use more memory. Most of the early versions of QB or QBASIC or whatever the called it would do.

I would not recommend a newer version that has been extended. Just something simple can can run the GW BASIC programs.

Additionally, downloading either QB 4.5 OR QBX is pirating.

}
fclose(fs);
fclose(fp);
return 0;
}
but after getting EOL at 26 it prints EOS till 256 plz help to solve.futher something improved but still after 26 it read and prints EOS.
Code: [Select]#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
int main()
{
int ch;
int i=0,j=0,k=0,i1;
char buffer[257],ch1;
FILE *fp,*fs;
fp=fopen("s.txt","w");
for(i1=0;i1<256;i1++)
{
fprintf(fp,"%c",i1);
}
fclose(fp);
fp=fopen("s.txt","r");
k = sizeof(fp);
printf("%d\n", k);
fs=fopen("ss.txt","w");
for( i=0;i < 256; i++ )
{
if(i==26)
{
fprintf(fs,"%d. %d %c\n",i,26,26);
}
else
{
ch1=(getc(fp));
buffer[i] = ch1;
ch = (int)ch1;
fprintf(fs,"%d. %d %c\n",i,ch,ch1);
}
fprintf(fs,"%c\n",buffer[i]);
}

fclose(fs);
fclose(fp);
return 0;
}I got the solution :

#include
#include
int main()
{
int ch;
int i=0,j=0,k=0,i1;
FILE *fp,*fs;
fp=fopen("s.txt","w");
for(i1=0;i1<256;i1++)
{
fprintf(fp,"%c",i1);
}
fclose(fp);
fp=fopen("s.txt","rb");
fs=fopen("ss.txt","wb");
while(!feof(fp))
{
ch=(int)(fgetc(fp));
fprintf(fs,"%d. %d %c\n",i,ch,ch);
i++;
}
fclose(fs);
fclose(fp);
return 0;
}

i had BUILD a DLL in [emailprotected] where i had WRITTEN my entire code, connection establishments to database. now as i changed my machine i'm unable to CONNECT to database. so i want to chage the connection strings and change in code in dll. so how can i decode the dll and get my code and change it??
Usually you just open the project/source file for the DLL you BUILT, edit it and rebuild.

What type of database is this?

What programming language?its ".pdb" file in C# language and the database is sql server 2000..a "pdb" file is useless for anything but debugging the file.

So, what happened? did you just happen to forget where you put the source code? Why was the connection string NOT made configurable, anyway?

#include
#define p printf
#define s scanf
int year, month, age, currentdate, currentmonth, birthmonth, birthdate,
numofmonths, daysalive;
main ()
{
p("Welcome to my age calculating program!\n");
p("The program will CALCULATE the number of days you have live since birth.\n");
p("Note: The result will not be EXACT because of leap years.\n");
p("Input age: ", age);
s("%d;", &age);
{
for (currentmonth = 1;
currentmonth <= 12;
currentmonth++)

p("%d \n", currentmonth);

}
p("Input current month: ", currentmonth);
s("%d;", &currentmonth);
p("Input current date: ", currentdate);
s("%d", &currentdate);
p("Input birth month: ", birthmonth);
s("%d", &birthmonth);
p("Input birth date: ", birthdate);
s("%d", &birthdate);
if (currentmonth >= birthmonth);
{
daysalive = (age * 365) + (currentmonth - birthmonth) * 30 + (30 - birthdate) + currentdate;
p("The number of days you have lived is about %d", daysalive);
s("%d", daysalive);
}
else
(currentmonth <= birthmonth);
{
daysalive = (age * 365) + (12 - birthmonth) * 30 + (currentmonth * 30) + (30 - birthdate) + currentdate;
p("The number of days you have lived is about %d", daysalive);
s("%d", daysalive);
}
}

Thanks very much guys, The two of you have solved my problem. I am much obliged. I am sure ill have more questions today..

Hello all,

Like the topic states I need to launch a program, serverdoc.EXE, and then close the batch. At this moment I am using the "start" FUNCTION and have tried the call function, they both have the same result.. It hangs until the exe crashes or is CLOSED, which should never happen.
Is there another command I COULD USE? I assume the start cmd ~ won't work with an exe. So what can I do?

Thanks in advance.
Well, this is embarrassing. I have noticed a large error in my syntax. The problem is solved. Please disregard the question.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hello all,

I have returned with yet another dilemma for another unrelated project.

I need to delete a folder "F:\Backup\RegistryBackup" if it reaches a size over 1 Gig. I have attempted a round about way of detecting folder size but it will only output the folder size of the folder its currently IN. This as you can see causes a problem. For learning and understanding sake, I will post my entire CODE.

Code: [Select]@ECHO Off
TITLE Registry Backup Maintenance
COLOR F
ECHO *********************************************
ECHO * This Program was written by PPowerHouseK. *
ECHO *********************************************
cd F:\Backup\registrybackup
For /F "tokens=*" %%a IN ('"dir /s /-c | find "bytes" | find /v "free""') do @Set summaryout=%%a

Set sizeout=%sizeout:bytes=%
Set sizeout=%sizeout: =%
ECHO ----------------------------------------------
Echo Size is :%sizeout%
ECHO ----------------------------------------------
IF %sizeout% gtr 100000000 ECHO Warning Backup Registry Size Larger than Allowed. Deleting...

Any relevant suggestions would be excellent.here's a vbscript, that calculates folder size, without the hassle
Code: [Select]Set objFS=CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
strFolder = "c:\windows"
Set objFolder = objFS.GetFolder(strFolder)
Go (objFolder)
Sub Go(objDIR)
If objDIR <> "\System Volume INFORMATION" Then
For Each eFolder in objDIR.SubFolders
FolderSize = eFolder.Size
WScript.Echo FolderSize, "bytes, path: " & eFolder.Path
' Uncomment the below portion to do something to those folders
' If FolderSize > <amount> Then
' do something....
'End If
Go eFolder
Next
End If
End Sub

save as myscript.vbs and on command line:
Code: [Select]c:\test> cscript /nologo test.vbs
Thanks for the speedy response. I have never USED vbscript, so this is quite confusing to me. How would I alter that code to delete the folder if its larger than one gigabyte?
Also, why does it need a command line? Can I not just double click it or refer to it from another batch? Thanks in advance.

I want to ONLY list the .MAP files as a map and skip the .map.zip
When the function lists the files in a TEXT, it lists alphabetically alternating the .map and .map.zip, beginning with the .map file. This may allow for counting every other one, or perhaps it would be more efficient to exclude the .zip file EXTENSION.

Hello All,

I would like to echo the total files copied by a function to a text file.
Basically a process will backup roughly 720 files but it varies, which is why i need to log it. The process uses xcopy, so at the end of it's task it displays 732 files copied.
I need to echo this number into a textfile for logging purposes. Any ideas? Will the copied files be the only files in the destination folder?if xcopy prints 732 files copied to the OUTPUT, then you can definitely redirect that output to a file. use the > operator (or >>)Quote from: Helpmeh on October 17, 2009, 09:33:04 AM

Will the copied files be the only files in the destination folder?

if xcopy prints 732 files copied to the output, then you can definitely redirect that output to a file. use the > operator (or >>)

Yes, prior to copying to the directory, the batch deletes the destination directory to ensure they are the only files. ( I think I may know where your going with this, I like....)
Sorry, it's kinda early here, can you elaborate for my simple mind?

Both: thanks for helping

Lol, that did it!!! I truly thank you all for helping me.
Am I asking too many questions? I surely don't want to flood the forums, but I do research my question as much as possible before asking.
Either way, thanks again.

Here is the situation: I have a group of files that are DROPPED daily into a network folder. Lets call them DataFile_091509_A.xls, DataFile_091509_B.xls, and DataFile_091509_C.xls. I need to copy these files into an archive folder within the folder where these files are dropped, then move them to a local folder, while renaming them to a STANDARD filename, ex DataFile_A.xls, DataFile_B.xls, DataFile_C.xls. I will overwrite the destination file names each day so that it inlcudes the most recent DATA.

Here is what I have so far:

REM Copy all datafiles into the Archive folder
copy "\\PATH\*A.xls" "\\PATH\Archive" /y
copy "\\PATH\*B.xls" "\\PATH\Archive" /y
copy "\\PATH\*C.xls" "\\PATH\Archive" /y
REM Move A
move /y "\PATH\*A.xls" "c:\DataFile_A.xls"
REM
REM Move B
move /y "\PATH\*B.xls" "c:\DataFile_B.xls"
REM
REM Move C
move /y "\PATH\*C.xls" "c:\DataFile_C.xls"
REM
REM

Now, this works just fine, but have I allowed enough room for error? Should I include SOMETHING in my MOVE that will only move the most recent version of the file in case something goes wrong the day before and files are not moved properly?

Any other alternatives?


PK
For more control, you may want to do this with a scripting language. Here is a script.


Code: [Select]# MoveData.txt

# Collect a list of files \\PATH\DataFile_*_*.xls.
var str list ; lf -n "DataFile_*_*.xls" "\\PATH" > $list

# Go thru files one by one.
while ($list <> "")
do

# Get the next file.
var str file ; lex "1" $list > $file

# Copy this file to \\PATH\Archive.
system -s "copy /Y " ("\""+$file+"\"") "\\PATH\Archive"

# Create the new file name by removing the date (between the two _).
var str newname ; stex -p "^/^l[" $file > $newname
# Replace _..._ with just _.
sal -r "^_&_^" "_" $newname > null

# Move file to C:\$newname.
system -s "move /Y" ("\""+$file+"\"") ("\"C:\\"+$newname+"\"")

done

Script is in biterscripting ( http://www.biterscripting.com ). Save the script as C:/Scripts/MoveData.txt. Start biterscripting and to run the script, enter the following command.

Code: [Select]script MoveData.txt

I'm trying to make a batch file which makes an attribute from a folder by using the %cd% command. After the batch has made the attribute it writes it to a text file. Then after exiting the batch I want to make another batch open the text file and then make a new attribute from it.
This is what I have (well, only the essential part of the code for this question)
Code: [Select]set Path=%cd%
echo %path% >> Path.txt
So after this I want something like Code: [Select]set Path=Path.txt but that doesn't do what I want because I want the original path as output, not the file name.
I hope I made clear what my problem is.
I've been looking for hours to find a solution, but I really haven't been able to find it anywhere. So can anybody please please help me.%cd% is not a "command" it is a variable. It holds the path of the current directory. Regarding your script, it would be dangerous and foolish to set the PATH variable to contain just one folder, because then many programs and commands would not work. Why do you want to do this? I am suspicious of those scripts where the author only presents the "essential part". What are they hiding? Sounds like a would be script kiddie or prankster.

Well, what my program is MEANT to do is make a backup of a file and then copy another file to that place to to it's place, and there's also an uninstall option which deletes the other file and then place the original file back. I'm using this to be able to switch between those two files. But to make it more versatile I wanted to be able to USE the batch not only from the folder it's in, but from any folder it's in. For this I made this piece of code (which again is not my complete program, but that would just be a huge field of text with a lot of echo's):
Code: [Select]set Path=%cd%
if not exist "%Path%\main-bg.bmp" GOTO Manual
Manual:
SET Path=
SET /P Path=Type the path where main-bg.bmp is and then press Enter
if exist "%Path%\main-bg.bmp" echo %path% >> %cd%Path.txt This checks if the original file is there, and if it is it makes a txt file with the right folder (in the same folder as the batch file, so this doesn't have to be the same folder as main-bg.bmp), I wanted to use this to be able to run the uninstall without having to set the path again. So the uninstall will have to read the .txt and use that to determine at what path it should be.

My complete program is way to big to post because of a lot of echo's to make it easier to use. I hope this post made it clearer what i am trying to do, but I assure you it's not some sort of virus or such nasty stuff.What you do not seem to realise is that (put simply) there is a system variable used by Windows called %PATH% which stores a list of folders where executable programs and scripts may be, so that when you want to run say Regedit you don't have to type "C:\Windows\Regedit.exe", you can just type the name. If you alter the contents of %path% then many programs will not work therefore. In general to avoid odd behaviour and confusion people avoid creating variables which have the same name as system variables. It would be better to choose another name for example %mypath% or whatever.

There are at least two ways I know of to get a line of text from a file into a variable.

Previously save to file. Don't forget to use quotes around a path+filename which has spaces.

Code: [Select]echo %mypath%>"c:\path with spaces\mypath.txt"
(1) load from file using SET /P

SET /P normally gets ENTER-terminated input from STDIN (the keyboard); by using the < redirection SYMBOL it can be made to get a (one only, the first) CR/LF terminated line from a file.

Note: File should have only 1 line; if it has more, variable will be set to the FIRST line.
Code: [Select]set /p mypath=<"c:\path with spaces\mypath.txt"


(2) load from file using FOR

Precede set with an @ symbol to avoid echoing to the screen

Note: File should have only 1 line; if it has more, variable will be set to the LAST line.
Code: [Select]FOR /F "usebackq delims==" %%A IN ("c:\path with spaces\mypath.txt") DO @set mypath=%%A


Using EITHER of the above 2 methods, the quotes around the path\filename are optional if there are no spaces, but necessary if there are spaces.







Holy sh... this stuff works. Thank you so very very much.
OH man, if you'd only know how happy I am now
Well, case closed I'd say. Thanks again Quote

this stuff works.

You guys are overcomplicating things.

there's a space between send and /?.

Also I believe the messenger service is disabled in XP SP3 and Vista SP1 and up.

oh. Windows Vista doesn't have net send.... as notable in the list is gives you when you try

MSG only works if the other user has messaging enabled. On many networks it is disabled. Type MSG /? to see the help.

I'm writing program in Visual Basic 8.0. I don't know how to put a text in new line.

abc
defg
ijkl

2. TextBox.Text="abc" & vbcrlf & "defg" & vbcrlf & "ijkl"
New Line character:

Code: [Select]ControlChars.NewLine()
If you add that in like this:
Code: [Select]Textbox1.Text = "First Line" & ControlChars.NewLine() & "Second Line"
But like Salmon said, the textbox has to be Multiline for this to work.

Hope this HELPS
,Nick(macdad-)ControlChars.NewLine() and vbcrlf are equivalent.
Yes, and considering this same poster was querying converting a "VB8" (what most people would call VB 2005, I think) to VB6, it makes more sense to use the more compatible vbcrlf then the ridiculously VERBOSE static method.Thanks for your help, all your answers helped me and worked well, Thanks again.....

how can i write a 100 bit adder & SUBTRACTOR with 1 bit adder component?
should i repeat it 100 tims ? It is a solution, HOWEVER, there should be a better way

I can't come up with any good ideas..Is this homework assignment?
Well, I would think that you have studied the very simple logic of an adder. If not STOP wasting your time here and hit the books. I well help you to see how a 1 bit adder (ONE output - high or low) can be chained to get what you want. But please do yourself a favor and go back to simple binary addition to see what adders actually do. Here is the adder example:


As you can see it was just as you thought it was. I will let you think about what a 1 bit subtractor is. Hint: Got to be similar RIGHT???

I'm working with Visual Basic 8.0 , now I need to convert the project to Visual Basic 6.0.
Is there any software or solution that convert 8.0 files to 6.0 ?manual rewrite is probably the only way, given the huge differences.They are essentially completely different languages.

There is no easy VB6 to VB8 tool either. (unless you count the tool that makes a template and throws a bunch of TODO comments everywhere)Visual Basic 8.0 would convert the files or projects that are written in VB6.0 with telling some instructions to modify the code such as depreciation of datatype..... etc... But again writing 8.0 to 6.0 is a huge task. But i need to write. If there is any possibility please tell me. I'l wait ............

But I'l write the code into 6.0 until I get the solution........ ThannxVB 8 is object oriented. VB 6 is not. If you are any kind of programmer, that should tell you all you need to know about the nature of the task (you think) you need to undertake.
Yes i know about it. But i need to convert otherwise i have to write manual code in visual basic 6.0. It takes a lot of time and stuff so that i asked you people, if there is any tool or suggestions to convert 8.0 files to 6.0..........


If any any any...... tell me. I'm starting writing the code in 6.0Quote from: Vikram Varaprasad on October 24, 2009, 12:52:48 AM

I'm making two basic DATABASES for a practice scenario. ONE has a person's first and last name and some other made up 'personal' information. (Like address, birthdate, ect) The other database will be a list of products.

However, I wish to add an identification number to both databases, and then make a third database to merge the two, or emulate a person BUYING an item and matching them with ID's. I wish for the ID's to start at 10000 so I can make a simple grep script for the third database. (Otherwise it may return integer values from an address)

Both of these databases are quite small which is why I only want the ID's to be 10000ish. Anyone have any insight to this? If you want me to post a code sample LET me know. I'm mainly confused if I can do this with an if statement or if I'd need a while/until loop to figure this one.

3) doing/trial and error (kinetic)

How you learn is beyone the scope of everyone here so to ask "how can I best teach myself" is a useless question. Figure out what you want to do, what you want to do with what you've done, and learn to do it. If you're (1) then watch someone do it or read a book, if you're (2) then someone to tell you how, if you're (3) then just try and figure it out.

Hello all,

I have RETURNED with yet ANOTHER batch problem. I need to ask the user to "ENTER their name" which I can then store as a %user% variable to later implement in a command.

For example after the user inputs the name, the program can then do:
Code: [Select]cd C:\programfiles\uniquenames\%user%\home
So, I have no idea where to begin. Thanks in advance.Code: [Select]set /p user=Name:

cd C:\programfiles\uniquenames\%user%\home
I think you may have to use "%user%" (with QUOTES) if there are spaces, not sure.That was exactly what I was looking for. You have SAVED me so much time!

Thanks again for all the help!

how can i delete that protection from a memory stick.if want to format it or delete some files a message APPEARS DECLARING that the memory stick is protected from writing.thanks If there is no switch for write protection on your memory stick then try to format it in Win XP. If you get an error saying unable to format then chances are that you have a virus on your memory stick that is preventing access to it except for read. There are antivirus softwares that remove this. However if you have access to a linux OS, simply insert this memory stick and once mounted you can manually locate and remove the virus. This will solve your issue. Even XP might ALLOW this by using the command prompt and commands like attrib -h -s to remove the system file attribs from the virus file upon which you can simply right click and delete that virus file.

print "Thankyou for using calculator.py!"

What does "choice=0" do, I know it says to hold the users choice in the menu, but when i get rid of it, the calculator still works the same. So what does it mean by holding the users choice?no, choice=0 is not needed, since in the while loop , it will have a value somehowthe writer of the tutorial is probably used to languages that don't initialize variables on first use. Basically they are initializing the variable, but python already does that so it's redundant.Okay.

Is there any tool which can open files containing C++/Pawn code and intendent it correctly?

Very often I have to do it the MANUAL way, which takes way too much time..

Example:

BAD Code:

Code: [Select]OnPlayerCommandText(playerid, cmdtext[]){
if(strcmp(cmd, "/test", true) == 0)
{
if(IsPlayerConnected(playerid))
{
// Blah
if (PlayerInfo[playerid][pAdmin] >= 7)
{
SendClientMessage(playerid, COLOR_YELLOW, "Your an High-level administrator.");
}
else
{
SendClientMessage(playerid, COLOR_YELLOW, "Your not an administrator.");
}
}
return 1;
}
return 0;
}
Good Code:

Code: [Select]OnPlayerCommandText(playerid, cmdtext[]){
if(strcmp(cmd, "/test", true) == 0)
{
if(IsPlayerConnected(playerid))
{
//Blah
if (PlayerInfo[playerid][pAdmin] >= 7)
{
SendClientMessage(playerid, COLOR_YELLOW, "Your an High-level administrator.");
}
else
{
SendClientMessage(playerid, COLOR_YELLOW, "Your not an administrator.");
}
}
return 1;
}
return 0;
}I believe the term is "indent" and it's also referred to as "FORMATTING" the code. there are tools of this sort for nearly every programming language. Explains why I couldn't find anything...Quote from: Ryder17z on November 20, 2009, 04:57:30 AM

Which language generally all driver software is being created ?
can't we create our own drivers ?
How the drivers interact with the hardware ?
What's the general difference b/w general programming and driver programming ?Windows Drivers are written with C/C++ with the Driver Development Kit.

Main difference is a error in the driver will cause a bluescreen rather then a friendly little fault box.as it was said by BC_prog...?the windows drivers are written with c/c++ language ,the language created by Dennis Ritchie on the seventies in BELL:USASomething is missing in your answers......
The little information what I knew is the answers given by u.....

The answers for the remaining questions are missed..........
I need explanation.... QUOTE from: Vikram Varaprasad on November 02, 2009, 12:50:08 AM

I'm not satisfied with your answers.......
I need expert answer.

The main difficulty with your question is the assumption that drivers are the same under any architecture and operating System.

I'm not satisfied with your answers.......

I have a PC running windows xp and have been trying to format (change line and character spacing) on files printed on a star micronics dot matrix printer. The CODES aren't CHANGING the spacing, instead they are printed. The codes I'm using are from star's web page. Please show how you are using the codes
Also, he should provide the model number and state if it has an an emulation for the old Epson printers.
Just looked in and old archive and fun this:

Code: [Select]CHRS Ver 1.0 by J B Palmer
CHRS 07 0A = BELL, LINE
CHRS 0C = TOP OF FORM
CHRS 0F = CONDENSED
CHRS 1B 30 = 8 LINES/INCH
CHRS 1B 43 21 = 33 LINE FORM
CHRS 1B 45 = EMPHASIZED
CHRS 1B4408100 = TABS 8 & 16

You don't just print them verbatim, for example "CHRS 07 0A". Those are hexadecimal representations of the bytes you send to the printer. via the serial or parallel port. I used to use QBasic for this. Using 1B 30 for an example:

LPRINT CHR$(27);CHR$(48);"This is 8 lines per inch"

You COULD insert them into eg WordStar and WordPerfect documents using various MEANS.


The printer is a star-micronics SP300. When I pull up the printer properties there is a place to enter Star's control codes and text for the receipt . I got the codes from Star's website. The code to change the line spacing to 7/72" is "1" . When I enter these codes they print and don't change the line spacing. When I asked Star's support for help all they said was to use brackets.Here is the Programmer's manual

Here is a link to the directory that has CHRS.COM dos program. It is virus free.
http://geek9pm.com/dos/
CHRS.COM sends a string of binary characters to the system printer. It expects hexadecimal to be used on the command tail.
So "1" should be 1B 31
Like this:
CHRS 1B 31

I hope this is helpful. We used this years ago when using Epsom printers to print forms that would not fit on the paper with the default settings.
