Well I have some exprience in programming, but it doesn't help me here...

I'm PRETTY familar with GML, Java, C++, HTML and Batch

Here is what the current Autorun.inf does :

• Plug in an usb-stick
• The Autorun.inf LOADS CFG.BAT

I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for a good site to learn (Visual) C++. I have programmed in C and C++ with Borland and MS C++ 5.0 and 6.0, but never (Visual) C++ to have a GUI interface.

I do own a copy of MS Visual Studio.net, but defaulted back to MS Visual C++ 6.0 because I just cant get use to the drastic differences between 6.0 and .net.

Is it easier to throw in the towel on C++ and go with ( learn )Visual Basic for GUI applications? I have heard many people say that C++ was not very good and very complex at GUI compared to VB! Is that true? I would consider myself not a beginner or a know it all of C++, I am sort of in the middle knowledge wise, but havent touched on the GUI (visual) aspect of C++ before. All my applications/programs ran from DOS shell.

Thanks for your help and suggestions!The method of creating a GUI with Visual C++ would be via the Windows SDK. Personally I didn't have the internet while learning it so I had to go with the MSDN documentation that CAME with Visual Studio 6. Even after learning it I haven't written a serious GUI app in C++, I always go back to VB. In short VB is easier to create a GUI with by fairly large margins.

Another route with Visual C++ would be to use MFC. I haven't done more then dabble with it, but it seems like a thin layer over the SDK functions.

Also, what kind of stuff have you done in C++? SDK calls, COM programming, classes, etc

Right now, unless you already did, you could look at the sample programs, GENERIC in particular. It's hard to glean much info, but the comments are pretty informative about what is going on.

Essentially the main difficulty with using the SDK/MFC is that almost all your windows will need to be created by code, register the window class, create the window, create windows (controls) within that window, huge pain in my opinion.

Another route to try might be C#...


Thanks for the info...

I havent tried C# before so I will check into that. I suppose I will get a VB for dummies book and start reading up as well...ha ha

As far as programs written, they are generally small apps to integrate with DOS as better method than batch for testing data and commanding DOS through the SYSTEM call.
Other than that WITHOUT knowing how to do a nice GUI window etc, its pointless to make anything else really other than tools that run behind the scenses with data etc.If your going into .NET, you may as well learn C#. You could start with Visual C++ as included with VS.NET.

If your not going into .NET (which, unlike MICROSOFT seems to think, IS an option) you could learn VB6. I don't know if you have VIsual Studio 6 (or just standalone VC6), So you might need to go into the nether regions of the net since Microsoft doesn't sell it. I've seen a few on Ebay.

So then you'll be able to do both, GUI in VB, and command-line stuff in C/C++. (you could do commandline apps in VB, but that's even harder then doing GUI in C++ (lol)).


here are some websites I frequent:


www.killervb.com
www.vbaccelerator.com
www.classicvb.com

Also, I did a quick google search and found a good beginning guide to VB6:

http://visualbasic.about.com/od/standalonevb6/l/bllearnvba.htm

once you skip the first few pages to actual VB stuff rather then programming rhetoric, it seems to be fairly good.


Either way, with a BACKGROUND in any amount of C it should be fairly easy to start using VB.

Be sure to snap up any VB6 (or Visual C++ 6, for that matter)-based books that look good, they seem to be replacing all their "old stock" of computer books with .NET programming stuff.Thanks for all the info once again!

Also, I have noticed that the pre-.net books have been becoming scarce also...so I suppose MAYBE I just need to dive head first into it.

TG for Ebay, Amazon, and as always the local used book stores for obsolete or soon to become obsolete books and software.

I couldn't fully understand the sentence below.
Does it means, when i flash new bios,it will have a backup for OLD bios?
Correct me if i'm wrong.

“The first instruction that is fetched and executed FOLLOWING a hardware reset is located at physical
address FFFFFFF0h. This address is 16 bytes below the processor’s uppermost physical
address.”1 The Flash ROM containing the Boot Block CODE resides at this address.
There will be one physical ROM which is 16Mbit in capacity. This ROM will contain both the primary and
the backup BIOS ROM images concatenated to create one 16Mbit image
Boot Block
Primary BIOS ROM:FFFF0000hFFFFFFFFh
Primary BIOS/DMI/ESCD:FFF00000hFFFEFFFFh
----------------------------------------
Backup BIOS ROM:
Backup BIOS Boot Block(Unused):FFEF0000hFFEFFFFFh
Backup BIOS/DMI/ESCD:FFE00000hFFEEFFFFh

When the backup BIOS EXECUTES, the primary BIOS
region for ESCD and DMI are updatedIt should, but you can't be sure...Quote from: Ryder17z on May 14, 2008, 11:05:00 AM

It should, but you can't be sure...

Just a question, I am currently working on a website (programmed in html and javascript) and I was wondering how other websites (e.g. this one) create new PAGES (like this thread) for users to see. At the moment, if users want to add data to the website they have to email me and I have to add it manually, which is really inconvinient.

So for an example, lets have them make a html DOCUMENT that anyone can see at "http://myexample.myexample.com/user_made_pages/" (not that that is the website, duh) when they fill out a form at "http://myexample.myexample.com/submit_a_page/"

I am a novice when it comes to web programming, even if i can make programs for windows...

I know it MUST be possible to do it (when I press the [post] button on this page it makes a new webpage), but my problem is letting it do it, and I can't find anything on google to HELP (it returns stuff about scripts running under windows)

Thanks,
BONESA good starting place would be learning some PHP. A book I have found to be quite handy and very easy to follow is PHP Programming With MySQL by Don Gosselin, but I'm sure other members will have their own suggestions.

After getting a bit of basic PHP knowledge, you could easily do what you have described.Thats alright, I looked up it in a different search engine, and it told me to look up php. I'm already learning it. Thanks for your help though.

hello

Question :- If we have given certain numbers ( 23, 21,19, 18,15,10) all the numbers are ALREADY SORTED . Now suppose we are given three sorting techniques (Bubble sort, Insertion sort, Quick sort) . If we have to find a number among the given numbers then which of the given sorting techniques wll be faster and why??

Thankx in advance.
Tough question (at least to me) to answer, because it could vary on how the algorithm is WRITTEN to sort the data. But I BELIEVE most consider quick sort to be the fastest technique for sorting data. Check out the below page as it gives you examples of each of the types of sorting techniques and clicking on the image gives you a visual example of how the sort works.

http://www.cs.ubc.ca/~harrison/Java/sorting-demo.html

Sure sounds like a homework question to me. It requires thought, rather than knowledge. If you understand how the mentioned sort ALGORITHMS work, the answer will be obvious (as it is to me). But I SHALL not TELL you.

hi everyone,

I want to create an APPLICATION that have MULTIPLE accounts with different access rights.

I want to know how to MAKE a database for multiple accounts.

I recently got a new GAMING laptop with Geforce 8600m GS direct 10x duo CPU T7500 @ 2.20 GHZ 2.20 GHZ


Windows Vista 32 bit

Anyways, I'm TRYING to play AoC but an error window poped up saying that I should update my drivers. I've been searching for a driver update but can't find any. I went to www.laptopvideo2go.com but the driver there doesn't work for me for some REASON :/ I can still play the game, but if I download the newest driver it'll improve my performance. This is not a programming question. Post in the correct section.

Do give feedback.
Thank You
Looks easy Interfacing an alphanumeric WHAT to a parallel port? Some sort of undefined DISPLAY...It is 16x2 alphanumeric LCD display having hd44780U compatible driver. What kind of information WOULD this display? I'm curious.It will display the text you type in the "textboxes"(green color).Refer the later SECTION of the webpage.

Im having a problem with my registry entries. Ok so i made a game and i made an installer in vb.net 2008 and i set it to write the game to the registry so that it shows up when you go to Add/Remove programs. The keys get CREATED but it doesnt show up in Add/Remove, what am i missing?

I didnt CREATE an uninstaller is that the problem?

hi i am using tomcat to run my application so that more than one client access my application and when the client LOGGED in to my application each time 4 log files created in the following folder C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\logs so that my application runs very slow and here i need to clear the particular folder or move the files from the folder to D:/templogs so that i need a batch program to do the specified process kindly REPLY me with the solution
regards
yuvarajHave a LOOK at the Move command

It would be something like this:

move "C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\logs\file.log" "D:\Templogs\file.log"yes i got it
thanks and regards
yuvarajhi as i have specified that my application is running under Tomcat as a server in online so here i should not stop the tomcat to move the file but my process has to continue i have used the simple CODE as follows

move /y "C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\logs\*.*" "D:\test" so here i have the PROBLEM that my tomcat will always running but i should move the files without stopping the tomcat how to achive this using batch programs
regards
yuvarajSo if I understand this correctly, you want to back up the logs in D:\test but you can't move them because the program is in use.

Try the copy command:

Code: [Select]copy "C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\logs\*.*" "D:\test"

Hello,,,;

i'm wondering if there are any programming language in machine language programming?

if not, how about assembly language? where i can get the tutorial and references about it?

any help, please..

Here is a QUOTE from this site:
Quote

Machine Language refers to the "ones and zeroes" that digital processors use as instructions. Give it one PATTERN of BITS (such as 11001001) and it will add two numbers, give it a different pattern (11001010) and it will instead subtract one from the other. In as little as a billionth of second. The instruction sets within a CPU family are usually compatible, but not between product lines. For example, Intel's x86/Pentium language and Motorola's PPC/Gx language are completely incompatible. Machine Language is painfully difficult to work with, and almost never worth the effort anymore. Instead programmers use the higher-level languages below, which are either compiled or interpretted into machine language by the computer itself.

• To do rare, ODD things that language COMPILERS can't handle, or
• Because you just want to (usually to learn something or occupy yourself)

Hello everyone, if you are a beginning programmer who wants to learn basic then you should try Just BASIC at http://www.justbasic.com
this editor and complier let you build your own programs, Just BASIC supports RS-232 communication, bmp animation and bmp GRAPHICS, textboxes, texteditors, file menus, buttons, joystick, KEYBOARD, and mouse support, and much more, and its easy for beginning programmers to learn basic. I have MADE many programs using just basic and it has helped me learn how to code in VB, and no this isnt an advertisment, but it is a recommendation for beginning programmersTheres also an OLD program that can help to called Interplays Learn to Program Basic. However it will run only on a 95 copy of windows. Its some what cartooned but it teaches the basics of basic.from what it SAID on the website, Just BASIC can run on Windows 98SE, ME, 2000, and XP yet they havent made a Vista version of it, hmm...

I need some help with this:

I want to build a program that edits the 1.m3u file like this :

These lines will be in a new random order each time I launch the program

Does anyone know how to do this in Batch, Java or C++ ?



If you install Cygwin to get the bash shell and the normal GNU utilities like head, tail and sort, you could do it like this. (I haven't tested this code.)

Code: [Select]$!/bin/sh
test -w "$1" || exit 1
TEMPFILE=/tmp/$$.tmp
head -n1 $1 > $TEMPFILE
tail -n+2 $1 | sort -R >>$TEMPFILE
mv -f $TEMPFILE $1
Name this file randomize and then at the bash prompt execute:
$ randomize 1.m3uWell, that code works in half

It does randomize the m3u file - But VLC won't deal with it and plays all files in the same way all the time - no matter of how many times i launch the batch file

One detail I didn't think of until now is the line ending. Most Windows apps expect a sequence at the end of every line. But I think Cygwin will do the Linux default, which is to write only a .

You can use either the unix2dos or dos2unix -u2d commands to restore line endings.

If that's not the problem, are you sure the application is READING the input file?Well now I found out that this code won't work at all :

Code: [Select]$ randomize 123.m3u
"C:\VLC\vlc.exe" "123.m3u"
pause
It does nothing with the 123.m3u I originally put the $ there just to show that you were at the bash command prompt. You shouldn't type it or put it in a script. Sorry for the confusion. Also, it's not clear if that is running in a bash shell or the Windows CMD shell. (In theory, either should work.)

I just noticed vlc has a -Z or --random switch which will "play files randomly forever". At least the Linux version has it, so the Windows version probably does too. So maybe you don't need to use any script, just this command:

vlc -Z 123.m3uAny language which supports associative arrays and a randomizer should be able to do this.

Window machines come installed with VBScript. Here is one solution:

Code: [Select]Const ForReading = 1
Const ForWriting = 2

Set dct = CREATEOBJECT("Scripting.Dictionary")
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

Set f = fso.OpenTextFile("c:\temp\123.m3u", ForReading)
strHdr = f.ReadLine

Do While f.AtEndOfLine <> True
keynum = keynum + 1
strLine = f.ReadLine
dct.Add keynum, strLine
Loop
f.Close

Set f = fso.OpenTextFile("c:\temp\123.m3u", ForWriting)
f.WriteLine(strHdr)

Do Until dct.Count= 0
Randomize
key = Int((keynum - 1 + 1) * Rnd + 1)
If dct.Exists(key) Then
f.WriteLine(dct.Item(key))
dct.Remove(key)
End If
Loop
f.Close

Change any path specifications as needed. Save script with a vbs extension and run from the command prompt as cscript scriptname.vbs

Good luck. Sidewinder - That code works well

Thanks both of you for helping me out...

BTW: Is there anywhere I can learn VB for free ?

I have worked with these languages so far :

Okay instead of bonzi MONKEY I REMEMBERED these demoed AI, Know the thing is, I dont know how or what is used to code them. Is there an easy way to FIND out? Also if I wanted to change the VOICE an animations how would I do that. If anyone knows?

I was thinking of tring to change the AI I downloaded some what close to bonzai monkey but felt he was more a threat then anything. So any how I WENT to the file an seen that it has faz, fas ,was , wa3 file extensions. Was this created by USING a program or are these c files?I don't THINK those extensions belong to C but you can check them here

Good luck. I found the file extensions but it did REALLY help sorry.??

Hi guys, i have a question that would REALLY help me,

"how ANALOGUE data can be converted and stored in COMPUTER systems"

This is a question in my ASSIGNMENT among about 400 others, i have the others down, word count of about 2500. but this one is kicking my a*s! any help? A simple Google search and I found this pretty interesting site.
http://www.klbschool.org.uk/ict/gcse/theory/5_1/5_1_4_com_devices.htmThanks Carbon! When i searched my college had blocked most of the results, that website never came up for me hmm, thanks anyway it ws a big helpNo PROBLEM. Good Luck!

I have created a batch file that should do this :

1. I start ARstart.bat
2. ARstart gives a command to QRes.exe
3. QRes changes resolution
4. Miljard_r.lnk launches (A shortcut)
-----------------------------------------------
5. I end the game
6. ARstart.bat gives another command to Qres.exe
7. Qres resets the resolution
8. ARstart closes

Here is my code :

Code: [Select]:@echo off
echo Miljard?r is Loading...
::This make the game launch in the right resolution
QRes.exe /x:800 /y:600
Miljard_r.lnk
::This resets the resolution
QRes.exe /x:1280 /y:1024
Echo Miljard?r Closes...
The problems with code is :

1. Miljard_r.lnk starts before Qres have changed resolution - resulting in a fake statement - Qres thinks he is done, but he haven't done anything
2. The icons on my desktop moves like crazy - Is there anyway to lock each one at a specified point ?
3. How do I replace the questionmark in my code with the ASCII-letter "132" ?

Does anyone know how to deal with it ?Quote

how can I change a text box value to a date format and save in the backend...
hw can i retrietve and again do the additions, SUBTRACTIONS etcNot really understanding the question. Could you give an example of a text box value you want to convert to a date. Is the backend a database?



I am doing a project for my own office for "PREPAID HOTEL VOUCHER "

i am not a software professional...i havnt done any project in VB before.
i have only basic knowledge in computer.

Data are like " hotel name, address, passenger name, checkin(date), chkout( date), issuedate ...

now i am using dataenvironment as a connection ...this information i got from internet help details...it is good ...now i can save the data to the table...

when i am saving text value "30/12/2008" , in the table it is saved as "12/30/2008"...first record is ok...from the second record this PROBLEM starts.

I have to WRITE a " search" command also
input values are "startdate" and "enddate"
i have to display all the records of which the "issuedate" value is between the above dates.

hi everyone,

I want to know how to save CONTENT of a file into an array.


I want to save a full line into a particular position or address in an array.

e.g.

if a is an array

a(0) = save first line

a(1) = save second line

......

and it should be CONTINUE until all lines are saved.

Can anyone help me?

thank in advanceCode: [Select]@echo off
set IDX=0
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion

for /f "tokens=* delims=" %%x in (test.txt) do (
call set /a idx=%%idx%%+1
call set array.%%idx%%=%%x
)

for /l %%x in (1, 1, %idx%) do (
echo !array.%%x!
)

Batch CODE does not support true arrays although you can mimic one. The first for shows how to load the array from a file. The second for shows the notation NEEDED to access the array elements.

Happy Coding thanks sidewinderYeah, what language are you programming in?

Hi everyone,

I am doing a small assignment of mine.

There is a question to generate all combinations of alphabets a,l,c,h,e,m,i,s,t.

do anyone know how to generate the combinations?

I am doing it in C language.

If anyone knows please help me.

thanks in advance.It is amazing what a Google SEARCH can turn up.

Code: [Select]#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdio.h>
VOID swap(CHAR* src, char* dst)
{
char ch = *dst;
*dst = *src;
*src = ch;
}
/* permute [set[begin], set[end]) */
int permute(char* set, int begin, int end)
{
int i;
int range = end - begin;
if (range == 1) {
printf("set: %s\n", set);
} else {
for(i=0; i<range; i++) {
swap(&set[begin], &set[begin+i]);
permute(set, begin+1, end);
swap(&set[begin], &set[begin+i]); /* set BACK */
}
}
return 0;
}
int main()
{
char str[] = "alchemist";
permute(str, 0, strlen(str));
return 0;
}
Source

"Alchemist" is hardcoded but I'm sure you can tweak the code to prompt for the word. This particular example uses RECURSION but you can also find examples with iteration.



The longer the word, the longer the program will run.thanks sidewinder

guys, need your help

where can i find the different functions of data1 control?
i already search in several site but i can't find the exact answer...im very confusing with this... please help..
thanks in advance You need to be more specific. What type of control are you referring to? What language are you using?

What language are you using? Are you using an IDE and if so which one?



im not sure if what language we will use because im not yet FAMILIAR with this. what are language using data1 control? as of now,we are using Visual basic...
i only know that this is related to database.

sorry for not being specific. this is only info i can giveData1 is most likely the default name of the control, not the control type.

Taking a stab in the dark, I'm guessing you're referring to the datagrid control which is useful when displaying data from a database. More info can be had here

Good luck.

Depending on your version of VB, the datagrid control is ALSO known as a datagridview control.

I'm currently trying to program a screensaver in C++ that displays an image from a specific folder. But I like many others, do not know where to START. I GUESS I could start by using wxWidgets, but I feel that it's going to require lines and lines of code. Is there some easy WAY out? I'm a couch potato.

Figure of speech. Both are already installed with the operating system. This is a good place to learn about VBScript. Everything from tools, examples and articles.

You can also find a file on your system named script56.chm. This is a compiled help file which serves as a reference for both VBScript and JScript.

You can also post here should you have any problems. Could you upload script56? I don't have it on my computer. (Searched everywhere!)Quote

At the school I go to we have written several programs that read from a postgres database. I've been wanting to be able to work on them from home, but have not been able to get postgres to work CORRECTLY. I've searched AROUND the internet, but haven't been able to find much of anything useful. Most of what I've found doesn't seem to be for windows. I've downloaded and run the installer for the latest VERSION (8.3). I'm not sure I installed postgres correctly. I'm not REALLY sure how to setup users/roles and initializing/creating database. Any help on how to setup postgres correctly would be much APPRECIATED.

I am trying to make a stats program for my baseball team. I am having trouble with my sheet that displays the team LEADERS in each offensive category. What I am trying to do is have the program look on a sheet entitled Season Totals which is put together by added all the weeks together. Once it looks at Season totals, it is suppose to go through each category for example Hits.. and display the number of hits that the first, second an third team leaders have which is not in ascending or desending order and then it displays the name accordingly with there respective number of hits... IVE been experimenting with different formulas suchs as VLOOKUP, MATCH, OFFSET and the problem i am facing is that if 2 people SHARE the same amount of Hits it displays the same name twice.. even though i am having it SEARCH for the 3RD largest value by using the LARGE function as a subfuction of OFFSET, if anybody has any insight to this please email me at [email removed] or reply to this message. Thanks!

I need to know as to how I should go about when trying to link a parallel and a USB ort onto a rogram that I CREATED and PERHAPS use these PORTS to input or output data.

Good luck

Good afternoon,

I'm trying to display a number in a field to only display the number(s) to the left of the decimal point. For example, 10.567 should display as 10;
5.987 should show 5.

I've tried all kinds of things using LEFT to no avail.
Can someone help please?

Thanks for any assistance.The question is murky. Any ODBC aware language can process an Access database and we have no IDEA what language you're using.

If by CHANCE you're using a member of the VB FAMILY (VBA, VBS, VB, VB.NET), check out the fix and int functions.

Quote

The difference between Int and Fix is that if number is negative, Int returns the first negative integer less than or equal to number, whereas Fix returns the first negative integer greater than or equal to number. For example, Int converts -8.4 to -9, and Fix converts -8.4 to -8.

Hi guys,

I was wondering if anyone could help me?

I'm based in the UK and would like to start work as a Systems Analyst. I was doing this as a role for 9 months before I got made redundant. I'd like to know if there is a good introductory qualification I could study part time for the next year that would help me to get another role doing this?

I've STUDIED and used VBA but I understand that this is soon to be outdated.

I'm after SOMETHING that would be the most generic and widely applicable qualification. I've studied before for an MCP in Windows 2000 and I wondered if I could do anything similar for programming?

Obviously I'm looking for something that's as future proof as can be. Does anyone know what are the best AREAS to study? Would it be best to study Visual Basic for EXAMPLE?

I'm hoping to later go on to do an HND and then a degree, I was wondering what the best programming language was to start learning?

Would I perhaps do well to do a BTEC instead of a Microsoft qualification?

Studying for PARTS of an MCAD looks to be a good way to go but the MS site states that a lot of the exams for this will retire in March 2009 and I'm not sure I'll have time to complete them.

Does anyone know what supercedes MCAD?

If anyone could answer any one of these questions I'd be very, very grateful.

Thanks very much indeed.

Dan.

I have read all the information under windows and Unix regarding ftping a file, but I can't SEEM to get it to work. If I'm coming from a UNIX box, connecting to a Windows box do I perform UNIX commands or Windows commands? I connect to the Windows box just fine, but I get errors when I ATTEMPT a put, get or send. My goal is to perform this within a WebFOCUS program. I've tried it from within the WF program, and from the UNIX PROMPT, with the same results -- I get errors stating that 'get', 'send', and 'put' are not recognized commands. Below is one of the syntaxes I've attempted within my WebFOCUS program:

CODE: [Select]UNIX cd /webfocus/
UNIX ftp ip address port#
UNIX put filename.xls p:/directory/filename.xls

Any help is greatly appreciated...I've been spinning my wheels way too long.

Thanks,

Linda

For the past few days I have dedicatedly put my mind into how certain types of programs work, and looking up information. These programs consist of:

1. internet browser
2. IM chatbot
3. Instant Messenger
4. compiler
5. operating system

I eventually plan on making one of each of these in my lifetime, and I have a long ways to go unless I get hit by a car or just plain out right die over.

I have a pretty good understanding of the basics of c++, can't say I have it all memorized or I've used it all, but I do have the understanding most of the time. I understand these are difficult tasks. For the goals that require internet access; yes, I know the first step would be to look up tcp/ip; for compiler, it would require a greater understanding of how compilers work and the c++ language. And for operating systems; how the operating system works or go and get a linux kernel blaahh blah blah. Honestly, reading through all these things that explain how something works doesn't teach me anything about how to program what they are talking about or at least give me all the commands and their definitions and how they are used, and not too many people around the internet are very helpful.

what I have learned so far has been through hands-on and the availability of explanations, plus working with php before c++ helped a whole bunch. (working on a forum right now, but having trouble with the login, but ill get there. The forum has gotten better each time I have lost it...well, I mean after I restored the computer a few times without backing up my forum hehe) But, anyway, any ideas on books for these topics, since there doesnt seem to be too many options left for me. And don't say, search Google; these forums were created to help people, not make stupid, downgrading remarks. I come as a beginner, asking a professional for advice (in a sense). Thanks.Quote from: zaryk on June 19, 2008, 11:16:53 PM

I'm working on dating girls, but I'm having trouble with the "asking them" part...

I was exceedingly more knowledged than the rest of the students.

I see that there is hundreds upon hundreds of RESOURCES online saying that "you cannot code programs with a hex editor."

And yet, in my garage, I have a computer which can ONLY be programmed in hex - its keyboard consists of 25 buttons {0-9, A-F, Goto, Exe, and a couple of other commands)

SO WHY ARE THEY SAYING ITS IMPOSSIBLE?

And as it is not impossible, where do I go to learn where to code it?I don't have direct expertise to answer your QUESTION, but I'm guessing that it's not so much that it's impossible, it's just that most people don't code at that level, anymore. (I've hard stories from the old days that there were guys good enough to key "hex" and "octal" and "ascii" DIRECTLY into the computers -- no punch CARDS, no tape.

I did a search, and found THIS.coding in Hexadecimal is really just coding directly in machine language. in order to learn it, you'll need to learn the instruction set of your target processor. Then, when you're done, you can do it again! because by the time you make something useful, the processor you originally wrote it for will be obsolete!

I'd like to make a revision to their statement:

"you cannot practically code programs with a hex editor"

Hii
I am learning J2EE, for that I have got complete reference by Herbert Schildth, but it doesnot have any chapter regarding jdbc-odbc.
Could you please refer a FREE online document from where I MAY learn that.

Thanks in ADVANCE. Here is something I found:

how can i USE this to open an internet explorer window with specific dimentions?You mean something like this?

Code: [Select]Set objExplorer = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
objExplorer.ToolBar = 0
objExplorer.StatusBar = 0
objExplorer.Width = 400
objExplorer.Height = 350
objExplorer.Left = 300
objExplorer.Top = 200
objExplorer.Visible = 1

This link explains the methods, properties and events available to the IE object.



this is it exactly thanks Sidewinderone more thing , how can i load a webpage without USING the address bar? i mean from inside the script and automatic? i tryed object.Navigate but i dont understand the syntax im just learning , objExplorer.Navigate(_http://www.google.com) I'd be interested to know where you're learning the syntax from. Most languages REQUIRE quotes around LITERALS, and where the underscore came from I can't BEGIN to guess.

Code: [Select]objExplorer.Navigate("http://www.google.com")

Good luck

Ive seen a sort of point and click type of programs MADE in qbasic, kinda like with a gui, does anyone know how to make that? where i can USE the MOUSE, INSTEAD of it all being command basedPossibly it was made in Visual BASIC 1.0 For DOS which looks very much like QBasic.There's probably something here for you..

Good luck.

help would be appreciated
,NickYou should coding like this:
Code: [Select]Pic1.Picture = LoadPicture("\b.bmp")or event
Code: [Select]Pic1.Picture = LoadPicture(app.path & "\b.bmp")

I create some PHP pages with user LOGIN. All pages displayed only when a user is logged. Otherwise all pages redirected to Logon page.

After logon, the user name will be displayed on all pages.

That all are created and worked fine.


Now I want, REFRESH the user status(logged or not logged) in all pages for a particular interval.

Incase a user logged out from any one page then I want to inform all other opened pages that the user logged out.

In PHP, we can get user info using SESSION OBJECT. But I can't use it for every interval.

There is any way to get? Please tell me.I don't think that what you a trying to do would be able to be without the pages reloading every few seconds. I myself use php in My Website and have never seen any examples online where the page checks little bits of itself against what users are doing. It would be far easier if you had a note "Users Logged In when this page was loaded: User1, User2, SomeUser, TheOtherUser, Etc"
Then if they click to a different page, the website generates a different list.

Thanks Bones92.

I don't know that is possible in PHP.

But I see on some websites.

They publish rating or vote results in homepage. They conduct the rating or vote in a new window only. After rating, it closes current window and results refreshed in that home page.

I don't know what language is used by them. But there is a possibility available.So I want the same in my PHP pages.The only way to do that is by constantly refreshing the page. The way that the web server sends your web browser the HTML is stateless, meaning that it sends the text and then closes the connection. After the page has been loaded, the only way for the web browser to receive new data is to open another connection and request it.

So basically, create a PHP script that will display only the information you want to be constantly refreshed (a list of online users, if I've read correctly). Then, use javascript on the pages you want to display that to SET a timer that will occur every X seconds that will use AJAX to refresh the info in the element that's going to display it all.OK Spasm. I understand your words that explained the concept.Now I try to implement. But I am Beginner in PHP. So I need a little reference in PHP.

If you can tell me the any website(closer to your words) to REFER PHP and AJAX.

I believe the title covers it all but...

Code: [Select] Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
Dim loadf As New System.IO.StreamReader("E:/sinistradc/save.txt")
loadf.ReadLine()
loadf.Close()
End Sub
that is as far as I have gotten.

Thanks in advance,
SimitraText files use sequential access methods, so you'll need to loop through the file until you find your record.

Code: [Select]Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
Dim loadf As New System.IO.StreamReader("E:/sinistradc/save.txt")
Dim strContent As String
Do
strContent = loadf.ReadLine()
Loop Until strContent Is NOTHING
loadf.Close()
End Sub

How will you recognize this specific record?

If you looking for a record based on it's position in the file, maintain a counter inside the loop. For INSTANCE, if you want the 47TH record, when the counter reaches 47, the data you're looking for will be in strContent.

If you looking for a record with specific values, there are MANY functions available including mid, instr, left, right, etc

If the file is delimited, use the split function to parse the data.

As written, after each read, the CONTENTS of the record are in strContent.

Good luck.

What luck, I just finished making a program that does exactly what you want, but it's an EXE, and I'll need you to disable your virus scanner before you can run it. Then you'll have to let it through your firewall so it can download some important information from the internet.

i have downloaded I BELIEVE GNU C and the GNU++ i believe debugger
i am trying to learn C++ i was directed to download the GNU from the book. after downloading it i read the README and it was built for C "but will compile C++ language could someone explain compilers for a second i know they ccompile your program after you download it into the compiler and turn it into a workable intendended program.
is the rhide compiler only for C/C++ could you give it a taste of JAVA, or a dose of HTML
is HTML a compiler?
is jdk a compiler?
are compilers specific for instance i found a site that you ccould use their compiler if you needed one (it was a research site)
i know a java jdk is for java is it a compiler
WHERE DO I START THE PROGRAM?

my intended question is after i downloaded the GNU
the book directs me to enter the C++ program into the dos command. window
i do.... i finish.... i can't direct the file anywhere because i have no directory to put it
the book directs me to put it into a file called conversion.cpp do i make the directory if not it is not in the directory of options.
if i hit the C:\ it only shows me about 4-5 files i can deposit
so i try to make a directory from the prompt i can't could you explain the process i read the dos section at this sight
the MKDIR [C:]path does not work
the MD [C:]path does not work
i cannot use the complier everytime i use the rhide interface i get a message the DGJPP environment variable is not set i have tried every which way to set it the environment but does not compute (have it set) or it's there maybe i am not doing it right i need specific directions. i have tried everything
how come you write in the windows prompt and not the rhide

another question i downloader the JAVA JDK i have no idea where to start which file could someone get me started there also you donj't know how much and long i have struggled trying to get started i am begging please help
i know it is something simple
thank you ruby

by the way if figured out i was using [] and \ and word"path" and on and on this is what baffles me computer instructor are excellent teachers plain and spoken and easy to understand but i am confused why they would write a syntax you can't even use. a new programmer i assume copies exactly the directions.

which step is causing the problems?

In the space of 31 days, he got defeated by C, bored with MS-DOS, confused by Java, thinks Linux is a "language"...

i drifted into java because i was more familiar (windows used the program to run some of their programs)

semi live to file from maybe (ftp) from bosnia, cancun, egypt, and georgia university. it downloads and leaves an icon

THESE BOOKS get my hopes up then boom it stops there because the next step the command does not work, no such file...

I AM A SHE!

i thought that when i started using or learning c/c++/java that it was like setting up windows. i can take my computer with no program install windows and start using it.

where do i look to see where it's at like i go to windows if i want to see windows program

i can rt click and it gives me the option i thought maybe i couldn't because of my disk space it kept telling me it was getting low so i went about erasing all the bit torrents, iso recorder and a different verisons of linux and started over

now what on the boot it gives options that take me to nowhere.

i set the environment variables for the djgpp program in the in ENV variable programS WINDOW.

user variable
variable NAME DJGPP
C:\DJGPP\rhid15ab\BIN\rhide.exe

systems variables
variable name %PATH%
C:\DJGPP\rhid15ab\bin\rhide.exe\.env

the C++ programming book says to set it like this
set PATH=C:\DJGPP\BIN;%PATH%
set DJGPP=C:\DJGPP\DJGPP.ENV

I HAD IT SET LIKE THIS (THE BOOK)FIRST BUT I PUT MY 2 SENSES TOGETHER. I ASSUMME,
ONE OF THESE OR BOTH ARE BEING SET TO BE DECTECTED, SO I CHANGED THE SETTINGS TO ABOVE (FIRST EXAMP) WHERE THEIR LOCATION ARE SPEC..

WHICH IS IT? NEITHER WORK

BY THE WAY THE REASON I ASKED SUCH A STUPID QUESTION ABOUT FOLDERS FINDING EACH OTHER (MIGHT NOT BE HERE I ASKED)
BECAUSE, I FINALLY LEARNED HOW TO USE COMMAND PROMPT
THIS WAS MY PROCESS
CMD....... ENTER (START RUN
CD\.......ENTER
CLS.......ENTER
EDIT AUTOEXEC.BAT........ENTER
I ENTERED THE ABOVE LINES LIKE THE BOOK SAID (NOT THE ABOVE ABOVE) FIRST EXAMPLE.
THE ENVIRONMENTAL VARIABLE DID NOT CHANGE IN THE ENV. VARAIBLE WINDOW WHY?
ALSO,
CAN YOU HAVE MANY "PATH"VARIABLES LISTED FOR EXAMPLE 2 PATH VARIABLES?
OR DOES IT HAVE TO ENTERED ON THE SAME LINE AS THE OTHERS. ( I NOTICED ABOUT 3 SEPERATE PROGRAMS THERE?

COULD YOU TELL ME IF SHOULD BE GOING BY THE BOOKS EXAMPLE OR WHERE THE FILES ARE LOCATED.
