It's currently 12:08 at GMT-8 as I type this.

I needed to do a project for my Health class, and I was sick of the same ol' posters and crap. "Game" was on the LIST, and, well, the rest is history.

Long story short: I wrote a C++ command-line menu-driven game revolving around Suicide, the last topic of our unit. In it, the player attempts to talk some guy out of jumping off a TALL building. I worried my parents greatly, because I've never finished a "real" C++ program to date.

How did I write a fully-fledged game (by 1990 standards, anyway) within a week, you ask? I'm almost ashamed to say it, but I nearly completely abandoned the concept of OOP. I wrote purely procedural code. I had a one-variable class out of habit, but actually, a global variable would have been easier for something of this small scale. I also stripped the program of all exceptions and error logic, since I'll be the one at the helm.

The game is actually simple enough for a one-page flow chart. Luckily, debugging is a small chore when all conceivable paths are marked. I'm proud to announce my first real program was a Gold-star program -- it compiled and ran to specifications perfectly the first TIME. (I'm not counting the delays in the couts I added later; I left them out at first intentionally for debugging purposes.)

^^^^I'm not sure whether to be proud or scared. What can I say, other than I'm done ahead of time and did a good job? Oh, maybe I should get to bed. Well done! You also learnt a valuable lesson: OOP is just one style of programming available. Each different situation requires a different style and with experiance you will be able to weigh up the pros and cons of each style. Sometimes it can be disastrous to force a particular style "just because".

For small simple projects, OOP can be more trouble than it's worth. Forcing OOP for them can be fine for learning purposes but when it comes to create a "real" (wasn't sure of the correct word to use) program, then consider the best style.

I'm still looking forward to your escape game! I'd rather not use a "software creator" program to make programs. Not only is it "one step removed"* from actual programming, it's Visual Basic. There's nothing wrong with VB as a language, but it's extremely removed from Assembler, which causes unnecessary overhead.

Besides, anything that uses VB requires the .NET framework. Since we're talking 2006-07, it's probably the Framework 2.0. I'd rather not make other users download a 20-something MB thing just so my 400 KB EXE works. When you write in C/C++/Java/Assembler/alltheothers, no additional stuff is required -- it runs on its own.

*FrontPage is "one step removed" from writing HTML. The code it makes is a MESS, and it usually causes only IE to render properly. Not my idea of fun.Learn how to use apostrophes.You mean DeltaSpider, right? If so, then add periods, commas and capital letters to the list. Quote

Side-Note: Do you know about the old compilers that would try to correct programmer's mistakes at compile time, so stupid things like forgetting a ; at the end of a line or missing a ) or two wouldn't cause a program that takes 5 minutes to compile to spit back an error instead of linking.

Hello,

I Just wanted to let you know if any of you (C#\.net programmer) are looking to show off your skills or get involved in a project you might want to consider clamav. ClamAV is the leading OPENSOURCE Antivirus, and right now they are looking for programmers to help with version 1.0 which would include an on acess scanner and possibly other features.
If you are intersted please post in the following post :

Thanks

Al968Hm interesting.. I would like to see how effective an open-source virus scanner might be.It's fairly good.
I have used the portable version a few times.
An on access scanner is the only THING missing from the full one, IMHO.
If they're considering adding it now, I'll definitely check it out, but not until it is available.
Wish I COULD help them . . .Real-time scanning PLUS anti-malware capabilities are added to ClamWin by >Winpooch<.

Well that's rather useful.
Thanks for that.

Always wanted to know how cursor mania puts the cursor on your COMPUTER and SHOWS it even if your off the internet i will tell you where they files are. WELL so as people think u can do a search over your drive for .cur files which take ages the other way is follow me!
go into your main drive and click on documents and settings!
then click onto the user that uses cursor mania
NEXT local settings
then tempolary internet files
OK STOP STOP
now right click in empty space and arrange it in the form of types
scroll down and guess what
all the cursor files that u have clicked on cursor mania.
simply all cursor mania does is download .cur files onto your computer from their server



ok one question i wonder if anyone found the server they use so u can like download all their .cur files at once and im sure its somewhere in http://www.funwebproducts.com/CursorChooser.html
but dont seem to work and i want all their CURSORS lolWhat the heck did you just say? :-?lol i just put it in the wrong section GREAT
i did it in the morning and quite SLEEPY saw computer program"ing"
missed out the "ing" so clicked on it lol
so im just asking if there is a way to get all the cursor that cursor mania hasThere are programs to make cursors.....not all are free though.that is off the point carbon dudeoxide
im trying to find where all the cursor files are stored for cursor mania
and im sure its on a site because it doesnt download all the files down onto your computer
i ran a search for all .cur files in my comp Well, for starters, I would strongly advise NOT going to funwebproducts.com.  It's basically adware central.lol pretty much
ok watever cracking the server is just
wasting time

Hi all
My first foray into the programming section
I've decided I'd like to learn to program, as one of the A levels I am looking at doing includes a bit of programming and I'd prefer to know at least the basics before starting (if I actually do that A level and even if I don't I just think it'd be cool to know how to program)
Can anyone POINT me to some good online tutorials or books to get me started?
Anyone have any tips they'd like to share?
I've heard C is a good language to learn, is this true?  What would be the best language for me to start with?
Never done any programming before so any advice is appreciated
Thanks in advanceOthers will scoff but I recommend you start with a high-level language such as QBasic version 4.5.  With no knowledge of programming C and/or C++ can be confusing to a newcomer.  Also QBasic is an interpreted language which is created in an Integrated Development Environment, in other WORDS you can write your program (some checking will be done as you enter each line) and immediately RUN it to check the results.  With some other languages you must write your program in a text editor then compile it then run it.

QBasic is widely used in colleges in the USA and UK as a starting level for students.

QBasic tutorials are freely available on the WWW as are many forums dedicated to that language.

QBasic is a DOS based language so some features such as direct line printing are not available when running in the Windows XP Command environment but there are workarounds for most.

Good luckyou can learn to program using Python. Its easy and fun, with lots more stuffs.
http://www.developer.com/open/article.php/625901
Cool, thanks a lot for the advice guysThanks Ghostdog74 ... Never knew that Python was FREE, so I never checked into it... Another language to learn... [smiley=thumbsup.gif]Python, Perl, PHP, Ruby, Quanta, etc, etc.  There are loads of free compilers out there.  It is always a good IDEA to choose a programming language that  best suits your intended use.  I rarely stray outside of PHP and javascript, since most of my programming is web-related.  If I were fascinated by A.I. however, I'd probably be sticking to something like Prolog.Visual Basic is good, to create "useful" applications fast. That and a C++ compiler for .NET Express edition can be downloaded for free from Microsoft, suprisingly.Awesome, thanks a lot all of you.
I'll try and make some time soon to learn some of this then.
Thanks.I too would start with VB, just to get the basic CONCEPTS down, then move on to a more complex language.If u wanna program ur own games start with

I started with C++ and I like it ]this site[/url] is the best site to start with

I started with C++ and I like it Obviously not so good with the HTML Apparently not . . .  I strongly recommend C# as a starter language.  Microsoft has a free prgramming interface, Visual Studio Express C#, that you can download from their site.

StevoI too have just started to learn to program using python.  A gr8 site is python.com  You can download the python program from there too.   Check it out!That's a BUMP.

I have the following code and I want to compile it to an .exe instead of the standard .vbs, I know you should be able to do it with Visual Basic (I have Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 Espress Edition) but I don't know how, I tried several CONVERTERS on the web but NON of them really worked good.

I want to compile the following code with a specific icon but without .NET FrameWork (so that other users who will use it don't have to install .NET FrameWork first).:

Code: [Select]MsgBox "Warning!" + vbCrLf + vbCrLf + "Don't change the installation folder during install!" + vbCrLf + vbCrLf + "Close this window to begin the installation.",vbOKOnly + vbExclamation,"Warning!"
I hope somebody can tell me or give me a link about how to do this!

Thanks in ADVANCE,

Greetz RubenYou might try the Microsoft Script Encoder. You can download it free at: Script Encoder

Not sure if it creates a exe file (PROBABLY a vbe file) but it should create enough security for all but the most determined hackers.

Hope this helps. Ok thanks! I'll try that, maybe I can open it in Visual Basic 2005 then? Other solutions are still welcome btw!

Hi, I have a problem with my computer where games freeze and I have to restart the computer via the button on the case. THOUGH with Command & CONQUER 3 I sometimes get this message when it seems like it is doing the freeze.

Now some maybe thinking "so why are you in this part of the forum?" so...

The only information I can find on this is debugging bits of code for C++ which doesn't tell me anything about what this really means or what causes it. So perhaps you guys who write C can tell me more?It is possible that the game has been written in some form of Visual C++, so when some parameter fails, your system points to the failed parameter.

These problems are usually cause by other problems being hardware or software ( registry etc ).

As far as the code for the game, the code is correct unless there is corruption in the game in which a reinstall should clean up. If a reinstall does not clear up, then it is most likely something else in your system that is CAUSING the game to puke, wether it be mismatched Ram, Registry problems, or just about anything else.

You can also check with the manufacturer of the game to see if anyone else has reported a similar problem. Usually you are not the first to see a problem with a game, and usually they have a FAQ setup or search link that will point out exactly what you are seeing.

Sorry that this doesnt pinpoint your problem, but as for the C++ of the game, the code has been tested before release through a quality control process which tests against most hardware and software configurations to debug problems. So the C++ code should be flawless in REGARDS to game play.If you get this error with other programs it seems unlikely to be a problem with the code in one program. Also, commercial games do not give up their source code so easily, to prevent copying. The source code you are getting is probably machine code or assembler.

But without knowing the EXACT contents of this error message, or the code you are getting, I cannot help futher.

I would suggest reinstalling/updating DirectX and your graphics card drivers.

Hi IM Very new to programming And NEED a commands list for Visual Basic Express 2010
IF u have one or know where to find One Please HELP You say you are very new to programming. Visual Basic is very visual. You do things with forms and boxes and lists. You can set the properties of things you seen in your work area. You can WRITE a useful program with little need for knowing the individual commands used in modules.
Have you already gone through few tutorials recommended by Microsoft?

Below is a quick reference for many programming yaks that might help you. Look for the area about VB sand .NET for the information sou want.
Quick Reference CardsThank you so much. I came here looking for some help with the c# programming class I am in. I work for a computer repair company as a receptionist, but they recognized my APTITUDE and let me join their techs' programming class. I am struggling a bit so that really helped. Thanks!Glad to help. Continue with you study of Visual Basic.
There are many tutorials. Helps one for the novice. Links to more.

Have a copy of coffee handy. His VOICE will put you to sleep.This was the newly released programming language and i haven't use it yet but this might help Microsoft VB Programming.

I need to know what the primitive types are for the LANGUAGE BASIC.  I am running freebasic if it makes a difference.   I can't FIND the information online anywhere.  THank you in advance for the HELP.For a long time the types used in  most BASIC compilers has been
Floating point
String
Integer
There was no type for byte, but some commands and functions requited byte values. For EXAMPLE, the function CHR$(n) requires that n be limited to a byte value.
Does that help any?

There is a free basic FORUM. Did you look there?
http://www.freebasic.net/forum/
There you can find that freeBASIC contains more data types.

Hi Guys:
I am trying to add a usb drive to a Debain system. It Will show on the desktop just fine, I can read and write to it also.

thanks for your help

Are you saying you can open the USB drive by CLICKING an icon on the desktop?  If so, the device is probably mounted somewhere like /mnt/usb - but your mileage may vary.  Have a look in the /mnt directory to SEE what's listed there.  You might also check the /media directory, which deals with automounted media in some distros.Hey Rob:
Yes i can use the drive from the desktop. its the CORRECT sintax to use in a program that I need help with.when
I go to my computer this is I get.

Have a look in the /mnt directory to see what's listed there.  You might also check the /media directory, which deals with automounted media in some distros.

I have a project I am working on in C++ using VC++ 6 and I am reading in a text file that is output from a batch that runs a series of dir/b *.extension>>list.txt routines to append to file all file extensions I want to have in my list file instead of just all files in that directory. This is used to list all the movie/VIDEOS to this text file. The C++ is used to create/compile a HTML page for my HTPC.

Currently I am able to open the list.txt file and add each line to the creation of an HTML page that places that lines contents as a hyperlink in an alphabetical listing, but instead of listing it as say movie1.mp4, I want to list it as movie1. So I was thinking that if I trimmed 4 characters off of the line, that would solve it, but for some files with 4 character file extensions instead of 3 character file extensions I would then have to trim 5 characters to include the .mp4 or .mpeg to remove the dot as well.

So I was thinking that maybe I can read in the line, then run a process that looks for the dot "." and it doesnt matter then how short or long a file extension is. Only problem is I have never done this before and so I have stumped myself. Did some searching in google and figured I'd post here since I didnt find anything close to what I am trying to accomplish.

In the end the C++ program writes/compiles a htpc.htm webpage that I have linked to the startup of the htpc, so I can pick movies and music etc from an organized menu. I was editing this htpc.htm page manually and thought that I should really just write a program that will import file names and then link them in a html webpage vs having to go in and add the additional line into my html page each time I add new videos and music etc.Why have the batch file to begin with?Hello BC... well I have the batch to begin with mainly because I am using the dir/b to get directory listing. I could have snuck that into the C++ with a system("dir/b *.mp4>>list.txt"); type call but been staying away from using system calls as for I read that they are a bad habit to use in C++. So I figured, I'd run a quick batch, then have my list.txt file ready for me with the files I want to have included in the created HTPC webpage and then use the C++ to then read in this text file and run with it.

*If you can show me a technique to output a file list to a file avoiding the system call in C++, I would be very interested in seeing how this is done. I am sure it can probably be done, but this is new territory accessing a file system to then pass that information (filename.extension) listing to a file vs using DOS commands.

 I have posted a very basic draft of what I have. This isnt the web page I am currently using, just a quick proof of concept sort of test, which generates the HTPC.htm page. HTML is easy to make pretty later on with frames and tables etc later on. I also need to add code to delete the HTPC.htm file if it exists prior to writing to it -or- clear the file first to avoid a double appending of HTML code added to the end of the initial. Deleting it I would have to use a system call, but I might be able to wipe its contents using C++ that I will have to figure out how to pass nothing to it to overwrite something with nothing..lol  then be able to write cleanly to it. I am guessing that i can write overtop of it with a single space " " probably since if it appends the after a single space, the webpage will still act the same as the browser translates it.

Being able to trim off .mp4 and .mpeg from the name of the file listed in the html hyperlink displayed text would be neat to do to clean this up I figured since I just want titles listed and the file entension showing is kind of ugly. I figured there must be a way to find "." and trim "." and the next remaining characters no matter how many there are on that line without affecting the next line below it. But still stumped


Here is test contents of link.txt
Code: [Select]file1.mp4
file2.mp4
file3.mp4
file4.mp4
file5.mp4



And here is my current code, which may look a little ugly without comments and I merged a book reference and online reference of code for technique and then tweaked them together to get what I needed since I am not good at just coding at this level without looking in my books or online etc unless I want to battle it out when compiling and fixing the issues.

Dave, why don't you just make the original batch file strip off the extensions? And build the html page too? Isn't writing a C++ program to do this using a sledgehammer to crack a nut?Thanks BC for posting the code, I am going to copy/paste and compile and look through it to learn how it works. And may post questions later. Really interested in how it addresses the file system to retreive the info that the dir/b does in that batch.

Hello Salmon.... well the situation I have is that I know some of both batch and C++ with C++ being my stronger skill when dealing with reading/writing from and to files and dealing with variables and strings and am a master of neither, so I end up making lots of ugly mixed program/scripts to get the job done usually.

I guess I went the route of C++ also because I know that batch has limitations and C++ can do all. I mainly didnt know how to perform a process similar to dir/b to access a file system to retrieve file names and figured the batch was the quick band aid to create the information that I can then feed to the C++ program.

*If you have a moment to show how this can be done in batch that would be great. As for I am interested in learning how it can be done by example. It would be neat to see how to pass the contents of dir/b into variables or read in the listing from dir/b that was written to list.txt at the start of the batch to then output that to an html file as well as trimming off the file extensions. I am guessing its mainly just creation of the html file initially by a bunch of Quote

echo. <HTML><BODY>>>htpc.htm

echo. <a href"(variable [A] here to pass full filename and extension)">(variable here to pass the full file name without extension) [/url]>>htpc.htm

I came up with this but it's useless and doesn't work for some reason.

The other thing I need to do is stay active with it too instead of just coding when I need something, since if you dont use it you lose it.

Only complaint I have with them is that whatever you write you need to make sure that Dot NET 3.5 I think the version is is installed on any system that you execute the compiled programs from. Its too bad they cant squeeze that into the .EXE so it can be stand alone I guess you could call it vs requiring the 3.5 framework that most systems I have seen dont normally update to with MS updates. I think the MS updates bring systems to Dot NET 2.0.

I also have to change SET searchpath=%cd% to SET searchpath=%cc% , which was a guess on my part

So I figured, I'd run a quick batch, then have my list.txt file ready for me with the files I want to have included in the created HTPC webpage and then use the C++ to then read in this text file and run with it.

Hey,
I thought my problem felt under programming not sure if it rly does.
Here is my story you need to know. Im making a program in note pad.
The POINT of it is to anoy my FRIENDS for fun. My program i have is it sets the date to 05-11-2011 and the time to 13:37 further more it starts cmd multiple times lets say till infinity. This is where my problem starts. I want to be abel to make it STOP. To pause it but i don't know how. I want it to be paused when i press the key "k" without having to press enter.

Here is my code

Hello all,
 
I am running "regedit" from a computer that is not logged in with administrator priveliges in Windows XP Professional. The computer must stay logged into the profile called "PUser" (it is a power user profile... CREATIVE name, I KNOW)
I am running regedit from a batch file, and this line of code works beautifully:
 
"runas /user:localhost\administrator regedit"
 
the only drawback is that it ALWAYS PROMPTS me for "administrator"s password. I want to include the password somewhere in the command line or something like that so that it automatically logs in. The security of this obvious availability of the password is not a problem.

Came across [highlight]your Forum[/highlight] while browsing around…cool stuff u have going on here.

I have already managed to WRITE the code to RETRIEVE the key so I can see it, but how can I change the product key, thanks in advanced.  

NOTICE: Some people may see this as ILLEGAL, it is NOT.

so i was wondering...
i wanted to learn how to use c++ and javascript
and first of all i just do batch files so these stuff
are nearly completly new to me except for some java
because i use to design webpages wif html so i wonder any1 has
resources for TOTAL noob for c++ and javascriptHi. There are tons of free resources on the web you can get by simply searching in Google.

I've found the follow tutorial helpful. It's a bit condensed, you if you're new to programming you might want to research each part in more depth elsewhere, but it definately contains all the information you need.

http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/

Javascript has a similar syntax to C++ so it would be silly to learn the two independantly. I would pick one as your main language (Javascript if you're a web PERSON, or C++ if you want to make actual Windows programs etc) then after some experiance in it, learn the second language quickly by simply learning the differences. Eg in Javascript variables are created with the var keyword and can change type, whereas in C++ variables are of a single-unchanging type. (Both methods have their pros/cons).

Even if you want to learn Javascript more I'd suggest learning some C\C++ first partly because it has a better debugger and development tools to get you started. It depends how much programming you've done before.

You can get a free C++ COMPILER here:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualc/

I would suggest you use Firefox to test your Javascript, as in the tools menu you have a very handy error/Javascript console. Clear it to remove the junk from other websites then run your program and it will inform you of any errors. But if you will be "unleashing" your creations upon the world, make sure to test they are compatable with Internet EXPLORER... sometimes you need to script parts two ways for each browser.

Good luck and if you need any more information just ask.thanks and i will stick to C/C++ first because there is a easier way to make web...
FRONTPAGE a million times easier copy and paste here and there and itz done
and thx for the resouceoh my god im aready stuck wif C++
OK so on the web it gave like codes and
well yeah i copied it and copiled it and the code is:
// stringstreams
#include
#include
#include
using namespace std;

int main ()
{
  string mystr;
  float price=0;
  int quantity=0;

  cout << "Enter price: ";
  getline (cin,mystr);
  stringstream(mystr) >> price;
  cout << "Enter quantity: ";
  getline (cin,mystr);
  stringstream(mystr) >> quantity;
  cout << "Total price: " << price*quantity << endl;
  RETURN 0;
}



ok so i launch the file
and it as for the price still working fine
then asks for the quantity AND STOP ok right wen i enter the quantity and
press enter it closes the ms-dos immidietly it doesnt let me look at the
so called "result"Please try to phrase your questions in English...

I think what you mean is the program runs and closes before you can see the result. Try putting getchar(); on the line above return 0;ah... kewl so u have to put a different command before it so it wont closee...

This batch job (below) sits on a server that calls a server in a REMOTE location.  The remote server then calls a server in a different remote location.  I am trying to move images using a single batch file.  All of the servers have permissions on each other.

Remove the %%f% from the same line.

Hey All,

I don't really know much about VBscript, but I am trying to make a little script, and it is definitely out of my range of expertise...

I have a local area network, and I have made a little Batch program to run a specific video FILE for a certain period each night. I want to make it all scheduled via Windows Scheduling, but I'd really rather not take the TIME to VNC to each computer and set everything up manually, so this is what I'm trying to aim for:

One script (or something) that will run from the host computer, and copy files from the shared folder to a dir on root (C:\) for each computer on the network (I think 14 PCs). Once it has copied the files/folder, I would want it to automatically delete any scheduled tasks, and create a new task that addresses EXAMPLE.exe to run on specified night from X to Y times.

Anyway... I'm not really sure how ELSE to explain what I'm trying to do... but yeah. It doesn't necessarily need to be using VBScript either... I am willing to apply basically anything I think.

Also, all of the computer on the LAN are running Win XP Pro (I believe SP2, but possibly SP1).

Thanks in advance,
kyle_engineerFirst of all, I am not capable of helping you. But here are some observations.

Why must you put it on the C:\ of any PC? This is not a good practice. All of the PCs should have a folder call "Shared Docs" or something like that.
It is also named as:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents
That folder can be set to allow full red and write for the administrators.
Also, the administrator can put tasks on a remote machine manually. But it can be set to repeat on every Monday at 8AM or whatever. Here is a screen shot of a PC in the work group

That is all I know.The reason that I want a copy on each computer is primarily because of the fact that 14 computers streaming the same media from a server for 8 - 10 hours might be very difficult for these older computer, that's one of my thoughts. Also, I personally like the idea of localizing all of the operations.

However, I do get what you're saying, and if it proves to be too difficult to be worth it, I'm sure I'll end up going your way.

Anyway, thanks Geek-9pm. You have lots of options. Each PC could be o n a sked to load the file, not all at the ametime.
Perhaps a few min apart, and then all start playing at a given time. The filename on the server would always be the same, just the content would change each day. If the content is null, no show today.

The VLC program is often used for streaming on LAN. Apparently it works for otters. MAYBE it will work for you. It can be either a client or a server. Very nice little program. And it is mostly free.

Or just Google VLC and find lots of posts. Quote

Sounds like you have a candidate for splitting the data into multiple, RELATED TABLES.  What sort of database are you using?  (i.e. MS Access, SQL, ETC.)  Incidentally, re speed - correct table design/separation within a relational database environment, coupled with good SQL query design, will undoubtedly speed up your searches.  Think in terms of fractions of a SECOND for a completed query.I'm afraid I have no experience with Sybase or JSP.  I ould do the database design, but I would need a FULL spec, and that kind of work doesn't come free, not even from nice people like me!  Sorry...   :-/Wow, don't you just love it when the ORIGINAL posters question goes missing.

hi, i was wondering if when CREATING a batch file i could give it a COMMAND to open internet explorer, but to open IE with a site, such as google.
 
can it be done?
 
thank in advance if you do helpcreate a batch file an place this

echo off

cd c:\program files\internet explorer\
iexplore.exe www.google.comYou can also do this...

CODE: [Select]explorer.exe http://www.google.com

You seem to be missing a curly bracket.

BC, i like your second option because it pretty close to what mine is, except it does work.

change the name of the class from positive to Positive.

Hello,

one of my big projects while trying to learn C++ is to create a command-line driven game. It didn't have to be huge; it just had to encompass a good deal of what I know about C++ as an OOP language. This project is nearing completion, and when it does, since I feel I must share something of the scale it's become, I'll release it for play. It probably won't get much attention, but I really don't care.

The main reason I'm going to do this is to get advice on how to improve. I know that online tutorials and instruction books are no match for formal training and, of course, experience. I can't do the first until college, but the second I can get now.

So, the first order of business is to head off this kind of comment: "Why did you use ABC to accomplish this? XYZ would be much more efficient."

Chances are, I haven't seen it before. So if there's an easier way to do something, let me know, but don't ask why I didn't use the most efficient method. My blanket answer is that "I didn't know you could do that..."

*ahem* That aside, next thing is to say what the program basically is and how far I am in completion. The basic premise is that the player is in my house, and for reasons that are disclosed in-game, has to escape it. The geography of my house perfectly matches the one in the game, but in order to make the game challenging, I've had to delve into complete and utter fantasy to keep this from being a 5-move game. It's just one abnormal... entity... of sorts, but it dramatically alters the game. (In retrospect, I wish it was that easy now... this is getting big...)

The game is command-line driven because I don't know how to GUI program yet, and because I can't think of a use for a GUI in this game.

As for writing the game, I am about 80% complete. The commands, their consequences and how they interlink is set up. The big portion of the remainder is writing the command parser. There are only 11 items, but writing every way the player interacts with them and the environment is a pain in the *censored*.

Another hurdle is writing a TUTORIAL. I'm not about to allow my command parser to grow to the point that I have 10 different commands that boil down to the same thing, so I'm having specific commands -- and ONLY these specific commands -- work. To compensate, I'm going to write a tutorial that should make it easy to know how to do something in this game.

In summary: I'm writing a game, it's not done, watch this thread so you can play(test for bugs) and give me coding advice when it is done.

Est. Completion time: 1 week
Accuracy of completion time estimate: Microsoft
Size of project: 48 KB (source code)I HOPE all goes well, as I look forward to seeing this. By the way, are you teaching your self C++, or are you taking a class?

8-)fffreakI plan on going to a class in college, but for now all I've got is a C++ for beginners book and whatever I can find on the Internet (which is a lot!).

Hopefully, the source code will not look like I'm such a beginner (I plan to release it). As it is, the project is getting big.

I'm writing the parser right now, which is adding several hundred lines to the code. I'm up to 1656 in escape.cpp and 371 in escape.hpp. The parser isn't even half done. And I still haven't written int main() yet. THOUGH quite frankly, that won't have much purpose other than to get the player started.

More fun facts:
Classes: 12
Functions: 119

UPDATE 7:00 PM GMT-8: The parser is done, using 592 lines of code to parse 72 commands, not counting the fact that I have several different ways programmed to do the same command (I shouldn't, for example, penalize someone for trying "turn on light" rather than "turn light on").

UPDATE 7:52 PM: int main() has been written. The length of escape.cpp is now 2110 lines, with more to come as I add more functions, fix problems I know exist, and do a final code check before I let the compiler spew errors at me. (Come on, how can a project this big not have code errors?)

Items left on to-do list: 11
Expected time to do next item: 2 hours
Sanity: 0% Quote

with more to come as I add more functions, fix problems I know exist, and do a final code check before I let the compiler spew errors at me.

hi, i recently downloaded an antivirus program shareware,from NORMAN.COM.(not norton)i didnt like it so i tried to remove it from add/remove programs nothing happend?so i went to my computer c:/docu-settings/paul.
and it was in the list,i tried to delete it there a pop up said access c:norman denied? so i read how to delete it from the regedit,which i did.
today it is still in my computer c:doc-sett/paul,so i downloaded add/removecleaner.exe from (intelli admin.com) it was in the list of programs so i deleted it and it went. i looked back in my computer c:documents-settings/paul. its still there access denied??(maliciuos spy virus??) can anyone HELP....SORRY for long post...
thankyou for your time..p
It sounds like what you downloaded isn't really an anti-virus at all. Either that, or the worst program ever written.

If you reboot into Safe Mode (how to do that depends on your operating system), it should be possible to remove it. "Access Denied" is usually an error given if the folder or file is being used by the system.hi,dilbert. thanks for your time.
ill try safe mode and let you know how i got on.

Oh, I'm not done with this yet. Slippery program, this one... Perhaps the prompt can help with this one:

Start > Run
Type "CMD" (no quotes) and click OK.
Type the following commands:

cd \
cd Program Files\Norman  (<-- Replace "Norman" with the name of the folder that has Norman in it)
attrib -r -a -s *.* /s /d
del *.*

Let me know if that works.

I don't think it's a hacker. I do, however, think that we've got a really stubborn program, here. I've got one last thing to try.

Download a free program called Ccleaner from here: http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner/

Run it, and go to the button marked "Tools". Find the Norman program, and click "Run Uninstaller". Then click on "Issues" and run a scan.

Hi ...I downloaded this program before [highlight]but didnt use it because I didnt know if it was safe to.[/highlight] After you run analyze...do you just click on run cleaner and let it remove all that is listed? or do you have to go through the list and make sure its not deleting anything important...because I have no idea what all those things mean.

OK I have a quaetion. I need a shopping cart program, but I am not SURE how to go about this. DO I need to make CODE up for this, or there is a program out there for it. Im not sure were to go from here and I could use some help with this please. Thanks for your hrlp!!!!!ASSUMING your server SUPPORTS php, asp, etc.... You have two options.

1. Try building you own. Your talking about some sort of list or array that holds the items ordered and some way to send this data to paypal or equivalent.

2. Use a pre-built solution such as http://opensolution.org/?p=Quick.Cart They have integration with paypal type companies already written as addons (search their forum).AWSOME thanks for the info. How would I go about building me own shopping cart program. I do not have much skill in this. What can you offer. THANKSStart by learning a server side languge such as PHP or ASP, looking into session variables or even cookies (this is where your program will store details about what is on the list).

That should give you a start...>osCommerce< is free.  No need to reinvent the wheel.  But if you must, you'll need some serious programming skills - then look at PayPal's API documentation for one way of getting started.I have been looking at some of these and I want to build my own shopping cart program, and hints any one can give me for assistants!!!Not for free...Besides that I really don't think anyone on this forum really has time to sit and write a program that tedious.thats not what I am asking. Were can I go to write my own program. Any ideas!!any good placeds to go to obtain the php info, leerning from the experts here.A good PHP Tutorial is only the first step. Pay attention to databases for both for creating your store and holding customer and order information. You'll also need to learn what options are available for maintaining state and which are appropriate under which circumstances.

Good LUCK. 8-)

Could you not start with something a bit more simple than an eCommerce application?  That's quite an advanced project, and you really need some specialist knowledge - e.g. security, the use of site certificates, merchant APIs, etc.  Try downloading osCommerce and having a look at all the code.  There's tons of it and until you actually understand every single line of code, you're not yet ready to build an application like that.

Dear all,
 I need to develop a VB.net application which can interact with BIOS to display the PC Health Status. Anyone can help?

 Thank you very much!You can use the management object Win32_BIOS to retrieve some minimum information about the BIOS.

The management objects (WMI) are also accessible through most of the Windows script langauges.

 8-)Thanks for your reply...

But Win32_BIOS DOEN not return properties like CPU Warning Temperature, Current CPU Temperature, Current CPU Fan Speed, VBAT, ShutDown Temperature and etc...anyone can help?

Thank you very much!You're going to hate me for saying this, but I don't think Visual Basic is powerful enough to get all the info you want -- it's too far removed from Assembler.So what is your suggestion? Which programming language/tool is suitable? Please advise...thanks...To be honest, I have no clue how anyone does that. There are programs to do it, so I assume it's possible in a C variant, but I can't find the code. However, there is something you can try -- and you can to it in VB, too!

This program: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=311 is called "Motherboard MONITOR". It's a nightmare to install and set up, but once it's in, you can use your program to parse the log it outputs every so often.Thank you very much! Will try that...Fair warning: It is a NIGHTMARE to install and set up. I can't believe it's so complex. Oh well, it could be worse. Quote

hi U out there.........is there any method to block the urls of sites to block'em VIEWING in browsers........like firefox....explorer....etcgo to C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc , open the host file with notepad. you can enter the sites you WANT in there, dont forget you need the IP address of the site which can be found from http://www.selfseo.com/find_ip_address_of_a_website.php

I am having a headache with Protection right now, as it doesnt seem to include the drop-down list created by Data Validation

I can still modify the CELLS with a Data Validation drop-down list.

If possible, can anyone TELL me how to PROTECT everything BUT selected components? (such as buttons on the worksheet)can anyone help me please? this is a really important function for my program.

Is this for a macro or to do manually? If you NEED it for a macro, the easiest way is to record it by doing it manually and then cutting and pasting the resulting code  into your existing code. If you do it manually, you'll be ABLE to protect various components via checkbox options (Tools==>Protection).

Hope this helps. 8-)

I created a PROGRAM about a year ago in C and i cannot figure out how to get rid of it when i try to delete it or move it an error MESSAGE comes up SAYING it is being used by another program and all it is is a simple I/O program anyone have any ideas? I would just let it be but it's on my desktop and that's already clutterd enough. ThanksPlease POST the exact message. Have you tried going into safe mode to delete this program? What exactly is on the desktop, a shortcut icon or the program file itself?

If all else fails, there is ALWAYS KillBox

Good luck.  8-)

Hello. In all honesty, I am asking for help on a homework problem. I've done all that I can on this program, but I still seem to be having trouble. Here is the problem, followed by what I have:

Write a program that declares a different series of lists (lists should not have the same number of words), and ASKS the user how many one-line POEMS she would like to see. In response the program will print that many different poems.

Here is an EXAMPLE of how your program should behave/work (I put in Italics for clarity):

Welcome to the Random Poems of the Day!
How many poems would you like me to generate for you? 3

Here are your 3 poems:

Paris Hilton amazingly eats mice in Duckett House every Sunday afternoon
The cat never runs on the sofa early in the morning
Mrs Christ sometimes runs on the sofa at night

The poems must be centered, with the longest poem starting at the leftmost column. In other words, the longest poem does not have any spaces in front of its first word.
 

• You will need to use the MAX() function, which returns the maximum of a list of numbers.

•   import random 
•    
•   def main(): 
•       people=["Lil Wayne", "Nicole Richie", "The garbage man", "The Vice-President"] 
•       verb=["twirls", "shakes", "dances", "yodels", "jumps", "SPITS"] 
•       adverb=["all the time", "once a week", "ridiculously", "strongly", "frequently"] 
•       location=["on the hood of the car","behind the stairs", "in front of the principal"] 
•       time_=["at 1 o'clock in the morning", "at sunrise", "at dinner", "at 8pm", "during brunch"] 
•    
•       poems = [' '.join(random.choice(a) for a in (people, verb, adverb, location, time_)) 
•                    for count in range(int(input("How many poems would you like me to generate for you? "))) ] 
•       print(""" 
•   Welcome to Random Peems of the Day! 
•    
•   Your poems are: 
•   """) 
•       print('.\n'.join(poems)+'.') 
•

I really dont know how to connect
I have two folders
In folder1 there are two files only of FORMAT ".mdf" and ".ldf"

here is some info abt my pc:

visual studio 2008
sql server 2000
I have to connect the server.but dont know which folder to connect with which program and how?
please explain step by step.
Dont give me links.as i have googled but there were issues with connectivity.
Thanks for your timeOK. Yo already did the Google search and you found this question has already been addressed by others and now you came here hoping for a different answer.

You are r trying to downgrade. From 2000 to 2008 is a span of eight years. Microsoft does not offer much support for older product. And they do not encourage the use of newer software with older software.

The above is a paraphrase of comments by others.
Why don't you want links? You are not going to find a answer that will neatly fit on one page of this forum. You question is much to specific to dedicate pages to the issue. It is more that knowing the directory.

Here is a brief history of Visual Studio. Some older versions are now free downloads. Have you tried an older version?

Pardon me if my remarks are not what you want to hear. I am being very FRANK, which saves both you and me some time. Here is a POST that forms the basis of my observations. If he was wrong, then so am I.

Quote

1.) SQL 2000 support has been dropped from all of VS, not just database projects. There is a cost to maintaining providers and the SQL 2000 Engine is much different than 2005 and 2008. With limited resources we have focused on 2005, 2008, 2008 R2 and the upcoming version of SQL.

2.) No, you will not be able to directly deploy to SQL 2000 instance in 2010.  You would have to target 2005 or 2008 and use the script produced and run the script against a 2000 database.  The project and the resulting script is not validated for 2000 regardless of the compatability setting of the database. Validation is driven by the version of SQL you target in the project properties.

We recognize this is not ideal, but is the best it gets for SQL 2000 in 2010.  For customers targeting 2000 we suggest running 2008 GDR and 2010 Side by Side.
Thanks,

I'm trying to teach myself Java and i'm going through some tutorial i've found on the internet, but i've become stuck. It asks to write a program that when you input a full name (first, middle and last name) it output the initials. So far i have this

Quote

import java.util.Scanner;
public class Initials {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
       
        Scanner input = new Scanner (System.in);
        System.out.println("Please enter your FULL name");
        String name=input.nextLine();
             
        String index = name.substring(0,1);
        int mid = name.indexOf(" ") +1;
        int last = name.lastIndexOf(" ") +1;
       
        System.out.println(index + mid + last);

String index = name.substring(0,1);
        char mid = (char) (name.indexOf(" ") +1);
        char last = (char) (name.lastIndexOf(" ") +1);

BC, thank you very much, that worked a treat, and know i understand where is was going wrong. I makes perfect sense now, yet an hour ago its was so frustrating.

Thank you again

Hello,

I am creating a web browser, I have most of the things done however I need help with the following:
-When the user clicks on a link that opens a new window I want the new window to open in my browser not IE.

- When I click on a link to a page I would like the adress bar to show the current url(what is the variable for the current page ?)

- what is the variable for all the text in the web page ?

Thanks

Al968
All the text on web page might be:

objIE.document.body.Innertext

There is also an outertext property

The current page address can be found in:

objIE.LocationURL

Note: change objIE to the name of your browser object

 8-)

Question: if you are writing your own browser would you not have to program all the
 properties and methods involved with a browser?Thanks for your RESPONCE,

Now what I was wondering is how to set the shortcut for a button to be the KEY "enter" (like in IE) so that the browser goes directly to the page when the user presses enter.

Thanks

Al968Are you creating your "own" own browser, or creating a program using VB's built in stuff to access the Internet? If so then you are basically taking a cut down version of IE ANYWAY, just putting your own stuff around it.Yes I now I am Using IE and putting my own stuff in  
Any Advice on the question ??
Thanks
Al968Perhaps if we had an idea of what you're TRYING to do this would go a lot easier. Are you trying to program what a user might do, are you trying to scrape data from a web page, are you automating a task, say downloading?

This is some hefty reading with some invaluable information:
HTML and DHTML Reference

Note: IE is scriptable, depending what you're doing, using VB.NET might be a bit overkill.

Good luck. 8-)The question I am asking doesn't specificly aplly to a browser. The question is :
How can I set my program to run code when at any point the user presses the enter key ??

Thanks

Al968It must have been the post title that threw us off. We I get CONFUSED very easily.

Something like this should work:

Code: [Select]Private Sub txtSelection_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles txtSelection.KeyPress

  If e.KeyChar = Chr(13) Then

    'enter was pushed, click the submit button
    btnSubmit_Click(sender, e)
  End If
End Sub

Note: Any key pressed while txtSelection has focus will run this code so you can trap any key you want to take action on.

Hope this helps. 8-)

Hello,

I am interested in learning c++ can anyone point out to me any GOOD tutorial .

Thanks

Al968Good resource, 99,400,000 results. also try http://www.planet-source-code.com/ and http://www.programmersheaven.com/ and http://cplus.about.com/ . Hope that helps  http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/The best method is to get a book. However, I am uploading a file I received; I'm pretty sure it's courtesy of Raptor. You'll need 7-zip to OPEN the file, it's free, so Google it if you don't have it. It's a "weekend crash course" on C++. I don't expect this to be the one and only source of info; don't treat it as such. It's designed to help with the basics.

Uh... I'll edit in a minute. It's uploading.

EDIT: http://www.filefactory.com/file/5a7e4b/ (2.83 MB)Thanks for that Dilbert, I was randomly roaming the programming section and I saw that.
Looks fairly easy to understand.
Might help me FINALLY get to learn programming as I said I would ages ago.
Thanks.Thanks for the links, dilbert on your link how do I download the file ??
I can't FIND a download button  

Thanks

Al968Click on "Download with FileFactory Basic", then "Download". The book mentions the Gnu compiler, included on the CD.
There is no CD, but the Gnu software is free - does anyone know where I can get it from?
I searched Google but I didn't know what was what.
Thanks.http://gcc.gnu.org/I did find that, wasn't sure if it was the right one or not.
Thanks for that.OK, I forgot about this, but I'm coming back to it.
Is this compiler just for Linux?
It seems to be not for Windows from what I can gather.
Bear with me, I'm a n00b at this.You can try Borland C++ compiler or DEV C++ compiler. Those are alternatives. Yet, I do not know if the GCC compiler is just for Linux, because I use Borland.

 8-)fffreakThanks, I'll try those.Why don't you just use the free Microsoft Visual C++ Express Edition like everyone else? :-?Why don't you just use Windows XP like everyone else?
Why don't you just use Windows Media Player like everyone else?
Why don't you just eat cookies like everyone else?
Why don't you just get fat like everyone else?
Why don't you just die like everyone else?

All of the above were written tongue-in-cheek, but the point is that some people have different tastes than others. Personally, I don't like Express Edition, and I don't really have a good reason why. But I don't. Some like chocolate, some can't stand it. Some like Express, some don't. Let him have his preferences.

I used the VB6 method Inet1.OPENURL in a ROUTINE of mine, but I  alwais obtain just a piece of the html code of the page I want to GET. Why? Thank you to all like answare. (excuse me for my bad english: I am italian).http://support.microsoft.com/kb/232194

Your probably running into this known issue. I have run into similar issues with other languages like DelphiThank you very, very ... much Deve, you was exellent. I hope to find a just update of my very old PACKAGE 'Visual Studio ENTERPRICE'; othewise I will append the code inside the link you posted me.
Any time if I will have any issues I will post it in this site hoping to meet you next time.
Much GREETINGS and good luck for your life, Deve.

I'm helping out a friend with his website and he is using Extreme Tech Weather Station to detect the outdoor weather for his blueberry farm. The HELP I am giving him is creating an applet for the website that will display these results. There already is a Java Swing GUI that utiliizes these APIs, but I cannot get it to work as an applet at all. I can get the layout of it to display on the applet, but the functionality doesn't work at all.

The way it works is that the workstation is connected via USB to some sort of HUB that is connected to a BUNCH of sensors that detect humidity, temperature, and weather stuff like that. When I run the application just as a local application, it RUNS just FINE. But when I run it as an applet, all of the buttons and controls display, but it doesn't do anything after that. The question I have is that I am wondering if this will work at all to have it run as an applet? Are there any certain limitations that Java applets have that are causing this to not work? Maybe this can help: http://www8.cs.umu.se/~jopsi/dass2/applet.html

randomNumbers.nextDouble

Random rand = new Random();

It would be nice to have a thing that souled just convert a integer into a  double.

mydouble = myinteger /5

dividing an integer forces a offloading point do-da-do.
You have a real number in mydouble.

So reading in file to array is easy since it automatically assumes read all to eof. But when writing back, I GUESS you also need to tell it to write back all to end of array to the file, and so do I need to create an incremental loop writing back each value from the array until I hit nul or is there a better method? perl has lots of quick ways to shorthand get the job done. I was originally thinking it would be happy assuming to write all values from the array back, but it writes nothing to import2.txt

Code: [Select]#!/usr/bin/perl
# Read, Alter, Write, and Read and display to show change in alt file

open(DATA,"<import.txt") or die "Can't open data";
lines = <DATA>;
close(DATA);

print lines[0];
print lines[1];
print lines[2];
print lines[3];
print lines[6];

$input = <STDIN>;
lines[6] = $input;

print lines[0];
print lines[1];
print lines[2];
print lines[3];
print lines[6];

open(DATA,">import2.txt") or die "Can't open data";
lines = <DATA>;
close(DATA);

open(DATA,"<import2.txt") or die "Can't open data";
lines = <DATA>;
close(DATA);

print lines[0];
print lines[1];
print lines[2];
print lines[3];
print lines[6];
In import.txt I have the following test data

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
0

Was hoping I was going to be able to place data DELIMITED like 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0 but maybe its more efficient for the data to be 1 character per line format. Probably should get into multidimensional arrays for data grouped like

1,2,3
4,5,6
7,8,9

Arrays are my weak spot right now with writing back from them. Reading in and passing data to them is easy. Years ago in C++ I remember something about incrementing to eof or in this case End Of Array to write data from array back to file.If the data does not fill the array, where is the logical end of the array?  There needs to be some way to count the number of items in the array that are valid data items.output to a file would be something like this:

Code: [Select]open(DATA,">import2.txt") or die "cannot open import2";
print DATA lines

what you appear to be doing is USING perl shorthand to try to read from the file each time; you are ASSIGNING the file variable to the array, which results in the array being populated from the file.

Hi. I have a Nokia 5230 Nuron which runs on the Symbian S60 5th Ed. OS. I've been wanting to for a while to start developing QT apps for it, so I just recently installed the Qt SDKs which CAME with Qt Creator as the IDE for it, and I also have App TRK and CODA on my phone for debugging on the phone, but the problem is that Qt Creator will not detect that my phone is connected at all. Under the project window and under which COM port to use, it remains blank. My computer detects my phone being connected no problem, but this is not working. Anyone who maybe has run into a similar problem before your help is HUGELY appreciated. WOW! That is an impressive set of tools. Sorry I am not help.
Others might want to know more about what your a re doing. There is a series of videos on You Tube about this kind of development.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7yje3D1UM4
Maybe there is something in the series that will give you a hint.

It may help if you tell what OS you are using on the workstation. Also, some information about then workstation. Do you have a utility to confirm the nCOM port is properly set?  Not always easy.

Also, do you hate other phones then work fine with then debugger? Have any of your peers used a similar system with good results?

Using it with a COMM port can be difficult. Why not use USB instead?

This may be of interest:

...  successfully compiled and built the QT FRAMEWORK on my WINDOWS Laptop using MinGW C/C++ compiler and installed QT Creator 0.9 alpha as my IDE. I originally got complimation working with Eclipse but opted for QT Creator as it looks handy since it made especially for QT.

I am not going to go straight into coding without designing my program first, what is needed etc so I decided I’d be best working out how to do serial I/O. Serial I/O is very simple on Linux since everything on Linux is a file! /dev/ttySxx is usually the file associated with the serial charactor device. But this is no good on my Windows PC so I searched for a POSIX based Serial I/O class or library. Luckly a POSIX library for Serial Comm was developed for QT. The project is located at http://qextserialport.sourceforge.net/. I downloaded version 1.1 to see how easy it would be to do serial communication.

So I took at a look at the QT project file and saw TEMPLATE = lib so this project builds a library what is expected. I navigated to the directory and done a qmake to create the Makefile and a mingw32-make.exe to build the library using MinGW and QT. (I had to set my path to ensure that all the minGW bin utilities were found system wide set PATH=%PATH%;C:\MingGW\bin. After the building I found two files in the build folde ..

I am trying to alphabetize by generating a weight of a word, saving those numbers, and then comparing which numbers are greater. Don't ask me why I need to do this way.

So I am trying to come up with a function that calculates the value of a certain word. I am using the asc function to get the ascii value, but I am not good enough at math to figure out how to calculate this.

Here is what I have:

Code: [Select]Dim byt As Integer
Dim acc As Integer

If txt = "" Then
    lbl = "0"
Else
    For i = 1 To LEN(txt)
        byt = Asc(Mid(txt, i, 1))
        acc = acc + (byt / i)
    Next i
   
    lbl = Str(acc)
End If

Why do you need to do it this way?

I am trying to alphabetize by generating a weight of a word

*whispers* because its homework ??

It's not really clear what the "weight" of a word is supposed to mean.

You can't just "sort" one string. The whole essence of sorting is comparison.

True, but you could generate a value based on that string, right?

Probably 97, but I'm not sure because my algorithm doesn't work. Any help?

my algorithm doesn't work

"aa" would come before "apple"

I am trying to alphabetize by generating a weight of a word, saving those numbers, and then comparing which numbers are greater.

Likely a 64 bit long integer.

In Java, is there any way to use a map key as a string to manipulate?

Say I was storing:

Key:Jennifer
Value:123456789

in a map, is there anyway I could access the key "Jennifer" as a string?

As it stands, I have a hashmap that STORES (string, INT) key/value pairs and I wish to access the key for use as a string.

Here's an example of something I'm trying:

Set set = map.entrySet();
Iterator i = set.iterator();

while (i.hasNext()){
    Map.Entry me = (Map.Entry)i.next();
    System.out.print (me.getKey().length());
}

This doesn't seem to work.

Right now, I'm creating a set from my HashMap using .entrySet() and then using an iterator, I'm creating map entries from the map and extracting KEYS using get.key().

However, it doesn't seem like it allows me to perform typical string functions on it like .length() or .substring(x,y)

I appreciate any insight into this.I couldn't get your example to compile.

but here is mine. seems to work fine:


Code: [Select]import java.util.*;
public class testmap {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
      HashMap<String,Integer&GT; testmap=new HashMap<String,Integer>();
     
     
      testmap.put("Billy", 500);
      testmap.put("Jerry",400);
      testmap.put("Lisa", 40);
      testmap.put("Jennifer", 80);
     
      Set<Entry<String, Integer>> grabset = testmap.entrySet();
      Iterator<Map.Entry<String,Integer>> i = grabset.iterator();

      while (i.hasNext()){
          Map.Entry<String,Integer> me = (Map.Entry<String,Integer>)i.next();
          System.out.println (((String)me.getKey()).length());
      }
     
     
     
     
    }
       
}

Oh, I seems like casting me.getKey to a string did the trick, like you did in your code.

Thanks.

hi all,

i have bought vga to 3 rca cable (this has green, blue and red wire) and when i am connecting it in my tv it is not working. i am also not aware whether it will run directly or requires some other setings or any thing as.

my tv is of bpl purchased on 2002 which has 3 ports one for VIDEO and two for audio. when i am connecing my cpu with tv nothing displays

can some one let me know the procedure or what setting i have to select in my cpu

thanks

 This is a component input cable. Does your television have a Component input? It will be labeled Y/Pb/Pr. Y is video, Pb is audio LEFT and Pr is audio RIGHT. Component can not connect to standard video input.i have told that i have 6 pins port in my tv above top 3 are for outputs and below 3 are for inputs from which one is red white and yellow

 If this is a laptop, then you have to change the display to output to the tv. Right click on desktop and the options should be there. btw you don't call it a cpu, the cpu is a chip inside your comp. Quote from: bobsklarservices on October 25, 2011, 11:19:49 AM

Composite is probably what he has on the TV, since he said:  "...has 3 ports one for video and two for audio..."

the image is really poor.

I do not have laptop i am connecting from my computer that is desktop.

now let me know in details. what setting i have to change
