I love computers very MUCH and want to become a computer scientist.I know JAVA PROGRAMMING and want to know the prerequisites of being a computer scientist.A degree in Computer Science. And you're one more NONSENSE post away from being BANNED.

I needed to have a "if found pls contact owner ..." file on my desktop
which should be un- editable and undeletable but with READ ONLY rights to it
so here's how I did it...

create the .txt file or perhaps a .bat ( haven't test a .bat THOUGH)

then attrib + r <"file name">

NB:..... in between " "



then
cacls < file name > /e /c /d %username%

NB: "" if file name is more than one word e.g ."IF Found.tx" or just owner.txt without the inverted commas.

and finally

cacls /g /P %username%:r

hope this helps


PS: to reverse the above:
negate the attrib using -r ... and restore the cacls

and then

/e /c /g %username%:f
this will free the file of its read only attribute and restore its ACCESSIBILITY to 'Full'

I have started creating a batch GAME but I do not know how to save, I am relatively new so can you show me the code then how it works? Thanks a lot!You can append an output to a file such as...

@echo. Hello World >>SaveFile.txt

This with the >> will append to the save file if you want a game that has MANY saved states in a single game save file.

If you want a single save state you could use...

@echo. Hello World >SaveFile.txt

And this would overwrite the contents of the PRIOR save game state whenever used to echo information out to file such as echoing to file the last game state values.

Reading in the values you would simply be parsing the text file and importing the values back into variables such as parsing and setting READ in values to variables..

Do you have any batch content to share with us, so we can best assist you with this request? Knowing the EXACT content that you want to save we can show examples of how to save and read in the info.

For a game that you need to save 5 values you could simply echo out the values at the last played state and have a text file that has this inside of it

Quote

2500,1000,50,100,3

Or just

Set>save.txt

And then load:
For %%A in (save.txt) set %%A

I would like to make a .bat file in notepad to COPY a file in a drive to another drive for example...

C:\Users\admgeorgew94\Documents\Matrix
copy to
G:\Backup\shared\Matrix

Thanks

Hello

Not sure if anyone can help me with this. I know nothing about JavaScript but I have the permission of the author of it to USE on a Web site. It is this:

Code: [Select] <script>
(FUNCTION () {
var n, id, progress;


progress = new CircularProgress({

radius: 20

});


n = 0;
document.getElementById('myPosition').appendChild(progress.el);

id = setInterval(function () {

if (n == 100) CLEARINTERVAL(id);

progress.update(n++);
}, 100);
})();

(function () {
var n, id, progress;

progress = new CircularProgress({

radius: 40,
lineWidth: 2,
strokeStyle: '#FFAED7',
initial: {
lineWidth: 4,
strokeStyle: '#ffffff'
}

});

document.getElementById('myPosition').appendChild(progress.el);

n = 0;

id = setInterval(function () {

if (n == 100) clearInterval(id);

progress.update(n++);
}, 70);

})();

(function () {
var n, id, progress;

progress = new CircularProgress({

radius: 70,
strokeStyle: '#FFAED7',
lineCap: 'square',
lineJoin: 'round',
lineWidth: 5,
shadowBlur: 0,
shadowColor: '#ffffff',
text: {
font: 'bold 15px arial',
shadowBlur: 0
},

initial: {
strokeStyle: '#ffffff',
lineCap: 'square',
lineJoin: 'round',
lineWidth: 5,
shadowBlur: 10,
shadowColor: '#FFB3D8k'
}

});

document.getElementById('myPosition').appendChild(progress.el);

n = 0;

id = setInterval(function () {

if (n == 100) clearInterval(id);

progress.update(n++);
}, 30);

})();

</script>
I have changed the original

document.body.appendChild(progress.el);

to what I have it so that I can position it (a diagram of 3 circles with text in them) in CSS to:

document.getElementById('myPosition').appendChild(progress.el);

but now it's not loading at all!

Thanks for any ideas.

Hi, I'm baffled here; the two following statements from my JS <BR>file displays the correct values but the code to enter them
into a table enters zeroes. I tried document.write(s) and the
correct values were displayed.what am I missing? Thanks in advance.

Code: [Select]var expression = value1 + op +value2 +'='+ total;
alert(expression);
------------------------------------
Code: [Select]<?php
include('calcbegin.html');
$servername="localhost";
$username="root";table
$password="cookie";
$dbname="homedb";
show
//Createconnection
$conn=newmysqli($servername,$username,$password,$dbname);
//Checkconnection
if($conn->connect_error)
{die("Connectionfailed:".$conn->connect_error);}

$sql="INSERTINTOcalculator(purpose,value1,op,value2,total)
VALUES('$purpose','$value1','$op','$value2','$total')";
if($conn->query($sql)===TRUE)
{echo"Newrecordcreatedsuccessfully";}
else
{echo"Error:".$sql."<br>".$conn->error;}
$conn->close();
?>
Looks like your getting 0's because no values are being passed to VALUES ('$purpose', '$value1', '$op', '$value2', '$total') and so because nothing is passed to them they are 0 and so $total = 0.

From looking at your shared code it establishes a connection to your database, and just passes whatever value the variables are without any data being passed into those variables ( which is usually 0, however because not initialized to 0 it could be different than 0 with bogus info ) to the database as SEEN here:

$sql = "INSERT INTO calculator (purpose, value1, op, value2, total)
VALUES ('$purpose', '$value1', '$op', '$value2', '$total')";

Do you have more code to this to show other than what is shown that shows where the variables are being assigned values? I feel that is where your problem is with this in the variable value assignments.Below is my code in it"s entirety. thanks for any help.
Code: [Select]<?php
include('calcbegin.html');

I have the below code:


ABCD 1234:




function validateForm() {
var x = document.forms["myForm"]["FNAME"].value;
if (x == null || x == "") {
alert("You haven't completed this task yet!");
return false;
}
}


In the input, the user needs to type ABCD 1234 as per the name of the form field, If the user inputs no information they get a pop up saying they haven't completed the task yet, however I need it so if the user inputs the ABCD 1234 they'll be granted ACCESS to the next page, and if they PUT in anything different it will return that pop up.

Can anyone help me please?

Hi, we are doing a PROJECT USING R. We were given two spreadsheets containing horse RACING results and we were asked to predict the FUTURE outcomes using the spreadsheets. Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

You need to define enter at the top of your code.
Don't blame the IF structure.
In batch and in Ch and C you must define or set variables at the start. With a few exceptions.
As for distribution, Ch is so close to C or C++ that you should be able to compile it and distribute it asa an EXE file after you have the code perfected. But If you want others to help you with it, you can give them the link to the free CH IDE.
Here are three resins I would recommend Ch rather that batch as a general tool.
• It has structure closer to C/C++ and can be ported to other platforms.
• It is a better learning tool that batch.
• It comes with a nice IDE. (Integrated Development ENVIRONMENT)

But if you want to use batch. bot ahead. Every time you have a IF statement there must be a GOPTO after it. UNLESS you are very clever.

BTW, there is also Tiny C,which has a very long history. It can be compiled.
http://bellard.org/tcc/
It does very compact x86 code.i defined enter at the top but it is displaying everything like i had said before in the previous reply

If you are going to program this in another language then please report this post and ask the moderators to move this thread to that forum category.

My apology for diverting this thread.

I look at the C code the OP had and I see not reason to convert it to batch, other than the fact that distributing it is more work.
But Ch and Tiny C are freeware programs and can be made available to anyone.

Perhaps the OP will express his preference again.

MODERATOR. Can the thread be moved into programming?

That is what the Report to Moderator link is for.

The 32 bit version works on any Windows computer. After finding the error with enter it runs normally. Ch can be installed on a flash drive and run on any Windows PC. For all piratical purposes it is a portable program and does not need to alter the system environment. Provided you put your source code in the same directory.

Glad to hear you school is using an interpreter to teach programming. After about twenty years the schools are now helping students learn tools that are relevant to the current state of the art in the commercial world.

MODERATOR. Can the thread be moved into programming?

trying to figure out how i would start this problem

Given the equations shown below, the values of x and y can be found using Cramer's Rule.

ax + by = c
dx + ey = f

Cramer's Rule says that determinants can be used to calculate the values of x and y as follows:

Cramer x formula Cramer y formula

To calculate the determinant of a 2 x 2 matrix, cross multiply and subtract the products. For example, the determinant of
sample matrix
is (5 * 6 - 3 * 4) = 18

Write an interactive C++ program that uses Cramer's Rule to solve a pair of linear equations. The program should prompt for 6 integer values that represent the 6 unknowns, a-f.

As output,

* display your name, SECTION #, and the assignment # AFTER the prompts for input
* display the 2 equations and the values of x and y with appropriate labels (see sample terminal session below)

Requirements

* program must read a, b, c, d, E, and f in that order (separate prompts are not necessary)
* a, b, c, d, e, and f must be declared as integers and displayed as integers
* x and y should be declared as double type values (may include decimals)
* your name, section #, and assignment # must be displayed after the input values have been read and before the equations are output
* when displaying the equations, make sure there is exactly 1 blank space between the terms and operators (see sample terminal session)
* the equations and x and y values should be displayed on separate lines
* let the computer use its default settings for displaying x and y (do not set PRECISION)

NOTE: You may assume that the determinant of the denominator will NOT be equal to zero.

Sample terminal session and output:
[[emailprotected]]$ g++ hw03.cpp
[[emailprotected]]$ ./a.out
Please enter integer value for a
4
Please enter integer value for b
6
Please enter integer value for c
4
Please enter integer value for d
2
Please enter integer value for e
-9
Please enter integer value for f
-2

Lee Misch Section #100_ Assignment #3
4x + 6y = 4
2x + -9y = -2
x = 0.5
y = 0.333333
this is really easy, and looks to be homework, try do it on your own and if you get stuck ask for help, if you want us to do it for you then why are you even studying programmign?Hello,
C++ is a programming language.It is combined of console and oops concept.Object oriented programming (OOP) have taken the best ideas of STRUCTURED programming and combined them with several powerful new concept that ENCOURAGE you the approach the task of programming in a new way.

Microsoft.NET Framework is a huge program and the Updates are even worse. Is it really necessary for casual Internet users (browsing, downloading, email, Office, etc.)? I have three old XP loaded machines and one Windows 8 downgraded to 7. The old machines really need the space. Is it safe, and how, to remove it? I generally use Revo Uninstaller but that may be too much if there are parts of .NET to leave..Net is required for specific software applications to function properly. I'd leave the .Net alone and look for other methods to reduce data that is taking up space such as purging the browser cache, dumping cookies, temporary internet files, and uninstalling any unnecessary software from the systems. * Before dumping cached browser data be sure you know your passwords to sites etc, as for I have seen people do this before and then realize they forgot their password that they havent used in AGES because the computer browser had it stored and now its gone from system as well as the users memory.

You probably should also store any important data such as music, personal data, etc onto an external hard drive as for systems of the age running XP are likely high risk for data loss. Moving this data off these systems onto a large external would free up hdd space.

Other option is to install larger hard drivesQuote from: kenaudivw2 on December 15, 2014, 11:58:31 AM

Wow, PC_programmer, You list yourself as a "beginner"? Now I (listed as "familiar") have to go back and relist myself. Is there such a level as "pre-beginner"?
In defense of my concern; Microsoft.NET Framework 2.0 shows as occupying 301MB and 3.0 at 244MB in my XP system. If there is not a good reason to keep NET, that's equivalent to a program the size of MS Office.

It goes through all the programs on your Start menu and compares their names with the display name of the uninstallable item. It looks for Start menu items which share at least two words with the words in the DisplayName.

For example, if there were a Start menu item called "Pretty Decent Windows Program", this would count as a two-word match ("Windows" and "Program").

It then takes the one with the most matches and decides, "Okay, I guess this is it." Suppose for the sake of illustration that the best match is indeed "Pretty Decent Windows Program.lnk", which is a shortcut to "C:\Program Files\LitWare\Decent Program\Decent.exe". Add/Remove Programs would decide that "Awesome Program for Windows" should get the icon for "Pretty Decent Windows Program.lnk", that the frequency of use and most-recently-used information for "C:\Program Files\LitWare\Decent Program\Decent.exe" will be displayed for "Awesome Program for Windows".

But wait, there's more. There's also the program size. Add/Remove Programs looks in your "Program Files" directory for directories whose names share at least two words in common with the DisplayName. The best match is assumed to be the directory that the program files are installed into. The sizes are added together and reported as the size of "Awesome Program for Windows".

Im trying to use dispatcher.invoke on an if statement to check if a website can work. I keep getting the thread usage warning. Is there any way to FIX this ? I am Currently not good with background workers or threading with wpf.

well you could remove ALL the invokes and surround the body in a single Invoke call.

If you already enjoy code, you may FIND this amusing. But the real value of this article is the value it has to introduce computer coding to people who NEVER program.
Here is a long introduction.
Hour of Code initiative introduces Mon-Yough AREA students to computer programming
Here is the short introduction.
http://www.tynker.com/
Show it to friends who avoid computers coding. Or their kids.

Google: Hour of Code

Disclaimer: The ARTICLES may relate to a product being sold for children. This is not an endorsement either from CH or myself. (The product is , IMO, overpriced.)Did the school also introduce a Plumbing course for people who never plumb?I did the Hour of Code in my school when it was in beta(i guess) It had alot of problems. I did it again and due to the amount of people it crashed alot.

I am writing a Windows .BAT file which takes user input and creates a VARIABLE from their response. I need any SPACES within their response to be replaced with the characters %20 and then create a variable from the new string. How can I do this?

For example:
User is PROMPTED: What is your company name?
User answers: This is my company name
variable= This%20is%20my%20company%20name@echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set string1=This Is My Company Name
set STRING2=!string1: =%%20!
echo string1 %string1%
echo string2 %string2%

output:

string1 This Is My Company Name
string2 This%20Is%20My%20Company%20Name

Works like a charm!

In windows xp when you right clicked a file and then clicked properties you could view a file's metadata. It had date created, modified ect. In another tab there was title, author, comment, etc.

In Linux I use thunar and there are different file properties, who has what access rights to the file and emblems, etc.

My questions are:
1: Are all the properties attached to the file, or are some in a database stuck to the operating system?
2. With java how do I access these properties?
3. Can I create my own properties and attach it inside of the file? Might be able to with an API:

I'm having an issue with my Visual Basic .NET code. I've never seen this before. I don't have any sort of threading, so it's just blowing me away. I'm using .NET Framework 4.5 and this is a WinForms app. My code is below, with comments indicating where I'm having issues with. I'm compiling for x86 architecture. I've tried using a WebBrowser HtmlDocument, a WebKit.DOM.Document object, and now using the HTML Agility pack. The objective of this application is to REPLACE the IMVU Silent Room Observer at http://www.imvu-e.com/products/sro/. I'm using Visual Studio 2012 Express. Please ask if you have a question. Thank you in advance!

Code: [Select] Friend Sub FetchRoomMeta(ByVal roomtag As String, Optional ByVal silent As Boolean = False)
If Not silent Then : Me.lblGettingRoomData.Visible = True : End If
roomtag = roomtag.Replace("http://", "").Replace("https://", "").Replace("www.", "").Replace("imvu.com/rooms/", "")

r.Occupants = New List(Of String)
End If
Application.DoEvents()

' -----> Line below is the last line to execute
Dim htbytes As Byte() = {} : res.GetResponseStream().Read(htbytes, 0, res.ContentLength) : Dim httext As String = enc.GetString(htbytes)
' -----> This line is never reached and never executes
Dim resp As New HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlDocument : resp.LoadHtml(httext) : r.Occupants.Clear()
r.FriendlyName = resp.GetElementbyId("rm_name_name").InnerHtml
r.LaunchURL = resp.GetElementbyId("join_link").Attributes("href").Value
r.MaxOccupants = Byte.Parse(resp.GetElementbyId("rm_participants").InnerHtml.Split("/")(1).Trim())

If n.Name = "tr" Then
r.Occupants.Add(n.FirstChild.InnerHtml)
End If
Next n

If r.URL = Rooms(i).URL Then
Rooms.RemoveAt(i)
Rooms.Insert(i, r)

End Sub
Code: [Select]Dim htbytes As Byte() = {} : res.GetResponseStream().Read(htbytes, 0, res.ContentLength) : Dim httext As String = enc.GetString(htbytes)
This will throw an ArgumentOutOfRangeException every time. Stream.Read() requires a buffer that is already the required size for the data you want to read, but htbytes is always empty.

I expect the exception is getting swallowed further up the stack, meaning the stack unwinds and it never get's further through the method. though copy-pasting a single method out of an obviously larger project leaves a lot to my imagination.Made changes, unable to UPDATE the first post to reflect the new code. Still have the issue, though initializing the array to (res.ContentLength - 1) because of 0-based arrays. Also attached full code file, though I fail to see the point. This may just be my foggy brain and stubbornness at work causing me so much trouble, that's why I ask for some slightly fresher eyes to look at it. Big fan by the way, BC_Programmer. Been surfing CH for a long time, seen you everywhere.

Hi Sidewinder

I run the same script on the another workstation, it is no problem on the size checking. I think it may be something wrong with my workstation.

Last time I have the problem on the script to do the check the size, but I get message from my boss, he needs to check the CASE is run the script can show all the size of directory at once.

I check the all KB / MSI folder size under the directory e:\Patches$\KBXXXX\xxxxx and output to csv with the size, but it is different folder in the KBxxxx folder directory. The script is complex and need to to in effort to do that?

Thanks

batch arithmetic only deals with integers.

Are you programme ? You are specialist for vb script.

I am trying to batch move consecutive named files with the same extension to a particular folder.
EXAMPLE: "G:\PHILHARMONIA DOWNLOAD\violin\violin_A3_1_forte_arco-normal.mp3" (this folder has all of the files currently), but I have created a destination folder also.

In the above, I would like to add:_B3_1_, _C3_1_, and ETC. to move into the same directory. I would also like to add that there is also (_A4_1_, _B4_1_) files, but I want to repeat the code and have them go to a different folder once I figure this out. So basically, all 3's are in the same folder and etc. Can someone please help me out here?

I am looking to do what I asked and not the following, because it moves everything with the same extension.The only way that I have seen is using this for example, which again is not what I asked:
"@echo off

REM Documents
move *.docx C:\Users\username\Documents move *.pdf C:\Users\username\Documents
move *.xls C:\Users\username\Documents
move *.txt C:\Users\username\Documents

REM Music
move *.mp3 C:\Users\username\Music

Thamks in advance!Hello, let me say something. (Sorry, I can't do the batch for you.)

The various special features that I'm looking forward to in a file manager are Dual panes, Tabbed interface, Bookmarks, History, Archive handling, Advanced File Search, MultiRename, Folder Size Enumeration, Folder COMPARE and Synchronize, FTP support, File VIEWER, File sorting, File splitter, Filtered view, Keyboard shortcuts, Easy access to system folders and more.
So here are top 5 products that I've found after months of testing. Their interface, features and customization are among the best and curated accordingly in each of the products.

I am having a panic attack as I just lost 1 tb of my files.

I purchased a 250GB ssd as an upgrade for my 80gb one. I backed up my 1TB HARDDRIVE 2 days ago, and was going to back up the 80gb SSD ONTO the harddrive, but I accidentally cloned it. When my computer REBOOTED the 1TB HDD was renamed to the E: drive, the H: drive is GONE (NOTHING brings it back up) Everything that was on my hard drive is gone, and I can't find out how to remove or restore old options. The drive now thinks it's only an 80 gb drive also. I had many important files on the hard drive. ANYTHING information you can help me with would be great!Triple Post...

How to automatically kill a PROCESS who is no longer active in ''ResourceMonitor/Network'' ?but which still exists,when i type TASKLIST i can see the process there,but my ''tool.exe'' is not active anymore.The process can still be SEEN in TASKLIST,does anyone have an idea how to automatically SHUT it down but only when he has no activity anymore!anyone knows a tool or a .BAT who can do something like that? thank you.

I am LOOKING for help with a MS WORD VBA code that will run in a macro to find the x and y COORDINATES of selected range of TEXT.

xposition = Selection.Information(wdHorizontalPositionRelativeToPage)
yposition = Selection.Information(wdVerticalPositionRelativeToPage)

The above code provides the X and Y of the START of the selection (or where the curser is).

How do I find the x and y of the END of the Range of Selection?
(If it matters, I need it to run in standard text and also when the text is in a word Table)Code: [Select]Dim Left, Right, Top, Bottom

Set Starting = Selection.Range
Starting.SetRange Starting.Start, Starting.Start
Left = Starting.Information(wdHorizontalPositionRelativeToPage)
Top = Starting.Information(wdVerticalPositionRelativeToPage)

Set Ending = Selection.Range
Ending.SetRange Ending.End, Ending.End

Right = Ending.Information(wdHorizontalPositionRelativeToPage)
Bottom = Ending.Information(wdVerticalPositionRelativeToPage)

'MessageBox.Show "Left:" + Left + " Top:" + Top + " Right:" + Right + " Bottom:" + Bottom

Of course the "End" of the selection could be anywhere, so this wouldn't give you a rectangle in most cases. I couldn't figure out how to get the actual width/height of the selection itself.Thank you!! Thank you!!

Hello again. My friend would like to know if there is any programming languages that can be use with the MICRO controller. Like c, c#, c++, java, java script, ruby, python, assembly, html 5?

Thanks,
ShiverbobIf there is some sort of problem please LET us know. Otherwise, if you want to continue to receive assistance on this forum you need to stop spamming the board. Well, we're going to need more information about what exactly you are trying to do...

A Micro Controller is extremely limited, therefore you will end up programming it in some sort of language that can be compiled directly to the hardware, e.g. C, C++ or Assembly. You aren't going to be able to run Java or Python on a Micro Controller since they require a virtual machine or interpreter respectively and I have no idea where HTML COMES into any of it since it's a markup language, not a programming language.Quote from: shiverbob on January 26, 2015, 09:42:46 AM

Arduino Alternatives: 5 Microcontrollers You Should Know
If you're growing bored with your Raspberry Pi or Arduino, try working with one of these.
By Kiona Smith-Strickland

Even if you're a casual microcontroller dabbler you've probably heard of the biggest names in the business: Arduino, BeagleBone, and Raspberry Pi. However, there are less renowned but still high-quality microcontrollers that you may have missed but should get to know.

In real world programming C++ is used as part of a project. It is never a full solution to an application.
That can also be said for Java, SQL, VBA and XML. And some other things that are not well know outside of the IT industry. The academic community ignores some of the day to day tools used in the real world. Forgot to mention Python. It is deep inside of some application programs. You don't see it, but it was used to develop part of that application. Even TCL/TKis still used in some development, but not a full solution.
A real programmer has to take a document written in plain English and turn it into a solution for some challenge in BUSINESS, Science, Technology or GOVERNMENT.
The ability to pass n academic test and score big on classroom work does not make a real programmer. But it might help.Quote from: rthompson80819 on July 04, 2010, 08:14:24 PM

I'm SURE BC will correct me if I wrong, but if i remember right almost of DOS and a good part of the first several windows versions was written in C.

I have a Windows share of the format \\sharename\directory$\subdir. In PERL, when I try to read the directory, it STOPS right before the $ sign, and truncate the rest of the pathname. I also tried putting a backslash before the $ sign, and still the same issue. Any ideas how to handle this?

Thanks in advance....Which version or Perl for Windows?
Which version of Windows? Ia it a 64 bit version?
Can your try running your Perl job with no other programs using the same path names? If so, that would offer a WORKAROUND.
Are all the relevant files in one folder? If so,the full path name is not needed.
Or would you consider CRATING as small partition on your drive and moving the target folder and its contents into the new partition?

A quick 'hack' would be to use BATCH to rename some folders in the path to not have the meta-char. Then after the job reverse the naming thing back to what it was.

Sorry, I am not up to date on escapes in Perl script. You will have to SPEND some time with the manual for the version you are using.
This might help:

hello everyone!

I've read about 30pages in there and i still havent found a solution to a problem i have, so i THOUGHT i'll ask!
anyway...here is what it's all about :

I have a bat file for backing up outlook files!
When i launch it, it close outlook.exe, then copy the .pst to another drive and if outlook.pst already exist it renames it to outlook(1).pst and so on
Everything WORKS perfectly fine on XP but I have to make it works with Win7 Pro 64 and it doesn't!
When i launch it on 7, it copy the file just fine but if it already exists, it renames it to outlook(1).pst and keep on overwriting it instead of going on with the (2) (3) (4)
I also tried the "run as win xp" and "run as ADMIN" but no luck.

Here is my batch, i really hope someone can help me figure it out!

*********batch********
taskkill /im Outlook.exe

THANKS!

I'm currently trying to make a tedious task I have to do daily much easier, and I figured I may as WELL attempt to fully automate it.
I am currently attempting to automate/schedule an Outlook 2003 Macro I wrote to download all of the files off of specific email messages by creating another macro in the ThisOutlookSession area...

However, I do not know VBA very well.

Does anyone know how I might be able to accomplish this?
Thank you in advance for your help.

So far, the only Idea I have had is the following (using a couple of test subroutines):

Private Sub Application_Startup()

test

End Sub

Sub test()

Dim CurrTime As String
Dim CurrDay As String

CurrDay = Format("ddmmyy", Date)

CurrTime = DatePart("h", TIME)

If CurrTime = "11" Then
testSend
End If

'INSERT CODE TO PAUSE MACRO WITHOUT HANGING APPLICATION
test

End Sub
Sub testSend()

SendMessage "Test Success", "The Macro Appears to Work...For Now", "[emailprotected]"

End Sub

Sub SendMessage(Subj As String, Message As String, Receivers As String)

Dim toSend As MailItem

Set toSend = CreateItem(olMailItem)
toSend.BodyFormat = olFormatPlain
toSend.Subject = Subj
toSend.Body = Message
toSend.To = Receivers
toSend.Send

SendMessage_exit:
Set toSend = Nothing
Exit Sub

End Sub


Do you have any ideas as to how I might tell the macro to wait an hour before checking the time again without causing the system to hang?Add a new module (Insert->Module)

Paste this:

Code: [Select]Option Explicit
Declare Function SetTimer Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal nIDEvent As Long, ByVal uElapse As Long, ByVal lpTimerfunc As Long) As Long
Declare Function KillTimer Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal nIDEvent As Long) As Long

Public TimerID As Long 'Need a timer ID to eventually turn off the timer. If the timer ID <> 0 then the timer is running

Public Sub ActivateTimer(ByVal nMinutes As Long)
nMinutes = nMinutes * 1000 * 60 'SetTimer accepts milliseconds- convert to minutes.
If TimerID <> 0 Then Call DeactivateTimer 'make sure there isn't already a timer.
TimerID = SetTimer(0, 0, nMinutes, AddressOf TriggerTimer)
If TimerID = 0 Then
MsgBox "Timer failure."
End If
End Sub

Public Sub DeactivateTimer()
Dim lSuccess As Long
lSuccess = KillTimer(0, TimerID)

End Sub

Public Sub TriggerTimer(ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal uMsg As Long, ByVal idevent As Long, ByVal Systime As Long)
static lastday as integer
if lastday <> Day(Now) And Hour(Now)=11 Then
testsend
lastday = day(now)
End If
End Sub


Sub testSend()

SendMessage "Test Success", "The Macro Appears to Work...For Now", "[emailprotected]"

End Sub

Sub SendMessage(Subj As String, Message As String, Receivers As String)

Dim toSend As MailItem

Set toSend = CreateItem(olMailItem)
toSend.BodyFormat = olFormatPlain
toSend.Subject = Subj
toSend.Body = Message
toSend.To = Receivers
toSend.Send

SendMessage_exit:
Set toSend = Nothing
End Sub



Now for your Application_Startup and Shutdown events:

Code: [Select]Private Sub Application_Quit()
If TimerID <> 0 Then Call DeactivateTimer 'Do NOT skip this step!
End Sub

Private Sub Application_Startup()
MsgBox "Activating the Timer."
Call ActivateTimer(10) 'Set timer for 10 min
End Sub

Hope this helps. Basically, what it does is create a windows Timer to fire every 10 minutes , which ends up calling the "TriggerTimer()" function. Here I just plopped in your testsend and sendmessage routines and call testsend from the timer routine, after running a few checks to make sure that the hour is eleven and we haven't already sent it today. (the "static" variable keeps it's value between invocations) Thank you so much!

This works perfectly! Quote from: southpaw63119 on July 16, 2010, 08:59:27 AM

Thank you so much!

This works perfectly!

Would you recommend setting the value to 0, or is there another way I can do it?

(sorry about all of this...)

Code: [Select]SET dd=%date% %Time%

XCOPY "%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%\Documents\My Dropbox\server\Mysql Backup\85 OS*%ex2% 23.5*\*.*" C:\xampp\mysql\data\serverT\ /S
What I'm trying to do, is GRAB all the files in a directory that is created daily with a timestamp. the SET /A ex1=%today%-1 minuses the current day by 1, making it yesterday. then I use the variables created beforehand in a xcopy command, I'm GETTING problems though, it seems to want to use the wildcards "*" as an actual part of the file name, that is not at all what I figured wildcards were meant to do. But it LOOKS for "85 OS*6.06.10 23.5*\*.*" Am I missing something?

SET /A ex1=%today%-1 minuses the current day by 1, making it yesterday.

I got MANY software to send using DOS prompt, for example : copy c:\a.exe lpt1
currently i need to run cmd, then type copy, then drag the file to cmd window then type again lpt1, all manually

can i add a new KEY to my RIGHT click menu, so when i point to .exe file, the system will auto add copy ... lpt1 and send my file
is that posibble?

I found one tutorial but I do not how I could apply it

http://www.jfitz.com/tips/rclick_custom.html
I found a program CALLED Context Menu Editor 1.1. It allows you to add/remove items from the right click menu.

I have not downloaded from this site before, but it seems safe.

This is a snippet of what i NEED. I need the highlighted cell on "moved" to push to "inventory" SINCE it has n/a meaning its not present currently. Then on the inventory list, i need my f row (LOCATION) to automatically update if it doesnt match with g(move). Then i need "inventory" to automatically delete if row c on "load" and row d on "inventory". Whatever vba you provide me, i need to work for to 5000 rows on each sheet. I will be your best freind if you can HELP me. I do not know anything about vba so if a quick copy paste can be provided id be in your debt

How we can SAVE TURBO C++ OUTPUT screen (outrut)as text FILE for printing?[color=][/color]

Yes, you can use an Interpreter for C and C++ for some applications.
The advantage of an interpreter is less time with the trail and goof approach.
This link is for a web site with a bunch of links to various kinds compilers and interpreters. Take a look. You might be surprised.

Hello,

I've written a simple java program which has a string of names:

import java.util.Random;

public class RandomNames
{
public static VOID main(String[] args)
{
String[] Names = {"Bob","John","Mary","Lewis",
"Hannah", "GEORGE", "Sam", "Carl"};
Random r = new Random();
int randint = r.nextInt(Names.length);
System.out.println("Your NAME is" +Names[randint]+"");
}
}

I'd like the program to record each time it prints out who's name is called, so..

Hannah - 4 times
George - 2 times
Carl - 1 time

You GET the PICTURE.. also, how can i write this output to a file?

Thanks in advance

Hello! I am currently a student at Ball State UNIVERSITY and have declared my major as CIS. I was wondering if there is anybody with a CS os CIS DEGREE that I could email some questions to RELATING to their work EXPERIENCES. I will try to keep them as simple and quick as possible to not take up too much of your time. I dont have many connections yet in this field and really need somebody to help me with my interview project. Thanks in advance and if you are willing to help PLEASE leave an email below i can reach you at or email me directly at [emailprotected] Thanks again!

The WIKIPEDIA STATES (in 2011) " Programming interfaceA virtual machine implemented by the DVD player runs 'bytecode' contained on the DVD. This is used to control playback and display special effects on the menus. The instruction set is called the Virtual Machine (VM) DVD COMMAND set. There are 16 general parameter REGISTERS (GPRM) to HOLD temporary values and 24 system parameters (SPRM). As a result of a moderately flexible programming interface, DVD players can be used to play games, such as the DVD re- release of Dragon's Lair, along with more SOPHISTICATED and advanced games such as Scene It, all of which can be run on standard DVD players."

But I cannot find any article based on the Virtual Machine implemented in DVD players and how to program them.I want to make a game for DVD players.But how can I do it ? I have searched Google but found no information on the VM or how to make Game for DVD players. Please help me....Please include the deference.
It should have links to relevant publications.

i want to run a program, when i type a command in the cmd prompt.
ex:
say sum.cpp is my file
if i type command like

C:\echo sample

before echo gets executed my program "sum.cpp" should run
is it possible to do so.Do not post the same question more than once. I've deleted your other post.None of this makes much sense. Try writing a batch file after you compile your C++ program.

Code: [Select]@echo off
sum.exe
echo sample

Give your script a name and save the script with a cmd extension. Run from the command line as: scriptname.



sorry!!
for the posting the question more than once

i am a beginner try to help me.

my question is

i want to attach my program to echo command .....
my program should run when i type echo command ( irrespective of the input to echo)
my program takes the input, if the input is in the range of 0 -16000 it should execute the original echo
else it should come out, showing error.

i want to check the size of alternate data stream, when a command related to ADS creation is used

Not sure what commands are related to ADS creation. You seem to want something that will monitor the size of the ADS in real time. I couldn't find anything on Google, but perhaps you might.

It might be possible to monitor a directory, and when a file is created or modified your program would kick in. This would be after the fact and there would be no way to prevent the ADS from exceeding 2K. It could only alert you to the size of the ADS.

It is also possible to monitor when a process starts, however NT internal commands run within the cmd shell. It is very easy to create an ADS with the echo command, but Windows only sees the processor program (cmd.exe). Hooking user code into the NT processor is beyond my capabilities.

Good luck.

else it should show error "size of ADS cant exceed 2k bits"

i have a program in cpp which can find out the size of the alternate data stream.

Hi All,
I would like to stop a service from one machine onto another machine. I remember in VBS I could impersonate a user and get the service to stop.

Anyone have any IDEAS as to how to get this done?

Thanks
This should do it:

Code: [Select]strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
& "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")

Set colServiceList = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
("Select * from Win32_Service where Name='stisvc'")

For Each objService in colServiceList
errReturn = objService.StopService()
Next

CHANGE the VALUE of strComputer to the name of your remote computer. I used stisvc as the service name. Change accordingly.

You can execute services.msc from the run box to get the names of the services. Be sure to use the service name and not the display name.

Good luck. GREAT! Thanks for your help!

I am working on writing a python(3) script to take data out of an xls file, and place it in an sqlite database. The xls file is downloaded from the Internet, and encoded in a way I haven't been able to get to work with the xlrd library.

I was reading through the docs, and it didn't give a clear way to test how the file is encoded.
Link Related: http://xlrd.readthedocs.io/en/latest/unicode.html

I did try other codes I have heard of, but I've yet to get one to work. Any thoughts?Sounds like the file is missing the CODEPAGE information. You'll have to override it as documented here.

Code: [Select]file = xlrd.open_workbook('test.xls', encoding_override="utf_16_le")

You'll have to experiment with different encodings depending on what kind it actually is.I have been try different codecs, but have yet to get one to work. I may write a script that will just try them all...

An interesting thing I have FOUND is that no matter what codec I have given as a argument, I always get the same error:
Code: [Select]>>> xlrd.open_workbook('test.xls', encoding_override="iso8859_15")

OK, then the file PROBABLY does have a CODEPAGE but the file itself is corrupted. Can you open the file in Excel/LibreOffice?Yes, I can open it in LibreOffice, and even if I change the file extension libreoffice doesn't complain. It is not an xlsx for sure because it isn't a compressed file. (I can see the text of the spread sheet with a hex editor)I have been investigating the file a bit with a hex editor...
I found the data of the first cell of the downloaded file here:
Code: [Select]4F 00 72 00 64 00 65 00 72 00 20 00 47 00 75 00 69 00 64 00 65 00
Libre Office interprets it as "Order Guide"

Now I copied this cell to a blank workbook and saved it.
I found "Order Guide" in the document as:
Code: [Select]4F 72 64 65 72 20 47 75 69 64 65

Does anyone with more experience with encodings have any idea what the downloaded file could be encoded with? If not does anyone know where else to look in the file?First example is UTF-16 Little Endian (LE).I've tried most COMMON codecs with no success.
So maybe the file is utf_16_le.

Assuming the file is intentionally corrupted (100% reproducible), with python I would like to attempt to reconstruct it.

Code: [Select]UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-16-le' codec can't decode byte 0x20 in position 108: truncated data
Position 108 I am assuming means the 108th byte in the file.
0x20 from what I understand is usually a space, I will add 00 before it.
brbThe error message was not helpful, no byte 0x20 was near byte position 108, nor near positions of 108*2^n.

So I decided to loop through the file with:
Code: [Select]file = open("prices.xls", encoding="utf-16-le")
byte = file.read(1)
while byte != "":
byte = file.read(1)
file.close()
and I got this error:
Code: [Select]Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./test.py", line 5, in <module>
byte = file.read(1)
File "/usr/lib/python3.5/codecs.py", line 321, in decode
(result, consumed) = self._buffer_decode(data, self.errors, final)
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-16-le' codec can't decode bytes in position 1018-1019: illegal encoding
Bytes in position 1018-1019 are: 00 00


On a side note, if I open the file in libreoffice and save as an xls, I can open it with xlrd, and the file shrinks significantly. 262.5kb to 217.6kb.

Any ideas on what to do next?
I do not want my script to be dependent on libreoffice being installed.Quote

So i'm making a calculator and would like the same event HANDLER for all the numbers.
I've already tried things like sender.source.Content but I'm UNABLE to find it
My code so far:
public MainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
oneButton.Click += new RoutedEventHandler(oneClick);
twoButton.Click += new RoutedEventHandler(oneClick);
threeButton.Click += new RoutedEventHandler(oneClick);
fourButton.Click += new RoutedEventHandler(oneClick);
fiveButton.Click += new RoutedEventHandler(oneClick);
sixButton.Click += new RoutedEventHandler(oneClick);
sevenButton.Click += new RoutedEventHandler(oneClick);
eightButton.Click += new RoutedEventHandler(oneClick);
nineButton.Click += new RoutedEventHandler(oneClick);
}

private void oneClick(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
resultTextBox.Text += .........;

}Is this from a published source code?
Or is it it fully original work?

From:
http://www.instructables.com/id/Creating-a-Calculator-Visual-Studio-C/
There are loss of samples out there.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJqB6UsM-hsQuick Answer: You should be able to use (String)((Button)sender).Content and test the string to see what button was pressed.

Longer answer: You can set the event directly in the WPF designer, too.

Even longer answer:

When you use WPF, you should aim to have as little C# code as possible, and do as much as possible with DataBindings and RESOURCES within the xaml.

I wrote a program that has a pinpad interface and it uses the same event handler for all buttons.

Here is the XAML FILE in question.


First it defines a "StandardEntryButtonStyle" on line 22. It defines the event handler to use for elements that will use this style:

Code: [Select]<EventSetter Event="Button.Click" Handler="EntryButtonClick"></EventSetter>
Then, later in the XAML, I use the RESOURCE to set the Style of each of the Entry buttons

Code: [Select]<Button Name="EntryButton7" Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0" Style="{StaticResource StandardEntryButtonStyle}" Margin="5">7</Button>
<Button Name="EntryButton8" Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="1" Style="{StaticResource StandardEntryButtonStyle}" Margin="5">8</Button>
<Button Name="EntryButton9" Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="2" Style="{StaticResource StandardEntryButtonStyle}" Margin="5">9</Button>
<Button Name="EntryButton4" Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="0" Style="{StaticResource StandardEntryButtonStyle}" Margin="5">4</Button>
<Button Name="EntryButton5" Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1" Style="{StaticResource StandardEntryButtonStyle}" Margin="5">5</Button>
<Button Name="EntryButton6" Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="2" Style="{StaticResource StandardEntryButtonStyle}" Margin="5">6</Button>
<Button Name="EntryButton1" Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="0" Style="{StaticResource StandardEntryButtonStyle}" Margin="5">1</Button>
<Button Name="EntryButton2" Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="1" Style="{StaticResource StandardEntryButtonStyle}" Margin="5">2</Button>
<Button Name="EntryButton3" Grid.Row="2" Grid.Column="2" Style="{StaticResource StandardEntryButtonStyle}" Margin="5">3</Button>
<Button Name="EntryButtonC" Grid.Row="3" Grid.Column="0" Foreground="Red" Style="{StaticResource StandardEntryButtonStyle}" Margin="3">C</Button>
<Button Name="EntryButton0" Grid.Row="3" Grid.Column="1" Style="{StaticResource StandardEntryButtonStyle}" Margin="5">0</Button>
<Button Name="EntryButtonOK" Grid.Row="3" Grid.Column="2" Foreground="Green" Style="{StaticResource StandardEntryButtonStyle}" FontFamily="WingDings" Margin="3">ü</Button>

This sets the event handler for all the buttons.

Optionally, of course, you can set the event handler for the buttons yourself by editing the XAML and setting the 'Click' attribute to point at your event method, but using a static resource allows you to make changes across all of the elements easily. The event that handles the button clicks is found here; remember this is a PIN entry, rather than a calculator, so the logic itself is definitely different than what would be used for a calculator. As you can see it uses (String)((Button)sender).Content to retrieve the text content of the button; if it is numeric it will add it to the built PIN, otherwise it will check for the wingdings font text to see if it is the Cancel or OK buttons that were pressed and act accordingly.Thanks for the resources, this was the solution:

Button button = (Button)sender;
resultTextBox.Text += button.Content;

The reason I don't like to attach the handlers in the xaml code is because when I use ValueChanged events there I get nulreferences, unless you know how to fix that (without changing the order of the Objects)Quote from: verystrengt on March 08, 2015, 05:37:57 AM

Hi all... starting this new thread as directed.

here is what i need help with:

i need to write a batch file (preferably .bat not .vbs) that will give me the folder size of multiple directories including all sub-files and folders in MB or GB and i WOULD like it to total the sizes. i do not need it to create an out.txt file with the results. on screen display would be fine.

any and all help is appreciated.

thank you,

NFBecause the command shell cannot handle floating point calculations the end-result could be many GB less than actual. Can you accept a batch script using VBS for the evaluations?

tahnk you


www.yerindebilgisayarservisi.usDusty,

i was afraid that would be a limitation with a .bat file.

Yes, i can accept a vbs for evaluations.

thank you,

NF

all,

after Dusty's post, i decided to give up on the .bat file and started looking at .vbs. with some help this is what i came up with, and it works to show me the total size of a directory, and then display total size of a second directory, how can i modify this to show me the size in MB or GB and give me a grand total at the end.
honestly, i dont need the individual results, but only the grand total window with the results would be preferred.

Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder("D:\FOLDERNAME")
wscript.Echo "Size: " & objFolder.Size
Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder("D:\FOLDERNAME")
wscript.Echo "Size: " & objFolder.Size


of course replace FOLDERNAME with the name of the folder to view the size of.

I am at the infant stages of learning .vbs so any help would be appreciated.

thanks again all
