Sir,
I want to know that in VB-6 application
1- How can we restrict a user to input certain character (Alpha) ie only A to
Z in a text box in upper case. For example, as we restrict a user to enter
only numerics in a text box by passing a condition " if keyascii >=0 and
keyascii <=9"
2- How can we check that input is only alpha. For example to check that
whether input is numeric or not, we pass a condition of IsNumeric(). May
IsAplha() condition be USED in VB-6 or not?. If no, how can we check that
it is alpha or not other wise error message should appear .
Thanks in Advance.Quote from: lohani on July 08, 2010, 12:18:59 PM

Z in a text box in upper case. For example, as we restrict a user to enter
only numerics in a text box by passing a condition " if keyascii >=0 and

This is my favorite way to see if a character is one of a set:

Code: [Select]Function IsAlpha(chr As String)
If InStr(1, "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ", chr) <> 0 Then IsAlpha = True
End Function

I have been working on making a hangman game, and have run into an issue where the error counter only counts one incorrect letter. After that it will not count any other incorrect letters and stops at 1. It is supposed to count up to 7 INCCORECT letters, where a message telling you that you have lost should appear. (DU har tapt og klarte det ikke denne gangen.) I cannot figure out where my code is incorrect and what elements i need to change in oreder to fix this. Hoping to get some SUGGESTIONS and help with what I am doing wrong

Thanks in advance! -Jc

[attachment deleted by admin to conserve space]You are using the "Feil" variable to try to count the number of failures, correct?

But it will always be at most one, because it's declared a local variable and thus won't "survive" for subsequent clicks. You check ifi the guess is wrong,. then increment feil if it is, but feil will always be zero at that point, so the increment will only ever make it 1.

Move the DECLARATION so that it is a member variable- remove the int Feil=0 inside the button click and move it to above the click event as

Code: [Select]private int feil=0

Then it will count to 7... And beyond, but I suppose that will be your next problem to tackle Thanks, that gave me some more insight. But now that I have added that line above the click event for the button none of my labels, textboxes or image references in the code are recognized, for EXAMPLE ( The name txtGjett does not excist in the current context) and the button click event now shows a ( new protected member in sealed class).Add a semicolon.

Sorry for my bad enlish first.
Our programmer making IMAP IDLE program to send mail automatically to other e-mail but it KEEP connetion timming out so it made delay sending everyday.
He also doesn't know why it keep happening.
we think this is g-mail problem with imap fail reconnect.
This error is "about: socket error: EOF".
should i use another e-mail service to use this program?

here are errors what i want to show you.
I really wnat to FIX it and hope to get any anwer to solve this problem.
thanks.

hi i'm trying to elarn programming, but as of today i've been stuck at 2 challenges, i am to write the who's your daddy program if you are familiar with it, i need a dictionary to hold father/son name pairs, and i need the user to be able to search the dictionary by kids names, and later on add the functionality of having grandfather/father pairs stored in a dictionary, and have it print the grandfather/father associated with the father/kid pair being printed.

my idea for how to make this program is i'd CREATE a dictionary (fathers as keys, sons as values) then have the user search the dictionary by values, if a corresponding key is found it will print both key and value, and then have it print the corresponding grandfather/father key/value the problem seems to be i can't get a straight answer anywhere on how the *censored* i search a dictionary by value.
i've been stuck on this problem close to 10 hours by now and i can't let it go, so help would really be appreciated Maybe this will help

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8023306/get-key-by-value-in-dictionary
My thoughts on this is that every object given a unique identity and then concatenate a string with lineage association. Such as:

object 1 = 001
object 2 = 002
object 3 = 003

If object 2 ( 002 ) makes another object its object 4 ( 004 ), but object 4 was created from object 2 and so the lineage string in a database for example would be ( 004 002 ) If object 2 makes another object 5 ( 005 ), the database would have a lineage string of ( 005 002 ) if object 5 makes an object 6 then it would be a lineage string associated with object 6 of ( 006 005 002 ).

Not sure if this is a lineage problem that you have, where you want to maintain which objects are created from each other or some other problem. You have father/son and grandfather and the father as a key and son as a value, what does that make the grandfather then... so I am thinking instead of apples to oranges of father as a key and son as a value that concatenating a lineage string might work out best to append to the string its origin to maintain a lineage.

Thing is that you dont have anything here referring to a database and maybe you are going to be doing this possibly within python itself. This will require maintaining a flat database writing to files and populating arrays and string variables to populate the info, and the file that is written to to store the lineage information is going to grow quickly as each object spawns off a new object and the lineage appended to the lineage string data for the new object, so do you really need to have lineage back to the beginning, or maybe just 6 deep etc.

Here is an example of how it will grow in size where each object entry will consume more storage memory than the other

object 12 has a lineage string of ( 012 011 010 009 008 007 006 005 004 003 002 001 ) assuming the initial object only had 1 offspring object and then each generation maintained the same spawning of a single object. All 12 objects still exist but object 12 has lineage going back to object 1 and so the string of 12 back to 1.

object 12 spawns off a son and so that son is object 13 so it then has a string of ( 013 012 011 010 009 008 007 006 005 004 003 002 001 )

Where info in bold is the father and grandfather and great , great great, great great great and so on down the line back to the lowest object value of its lineage.

*This numbering only for example purposes the 000 to 999 RANGE of each object works for 1000 objects and so if you want greater than 1000 objects you could potentially have a lineage of ( 197387 167987 133290 121000 ....... a long string of lineage going back to the beginning of object 1 )The answer is: You don't.

Well, not really. You CAN search a dictionary for a key given a value- but it's going to be a sequential search- you'd have to look through every item and find the one with the correct value. You would also have to decide what to do when more than one key has the same value. Fact is, this is slow and very poor design, because you are basically misusing the Dictionary.

As a solution, We can discount adding the reverse association to the dictionary- eg, the son key returns the father key as well, because this would mean that a son could not be a father which would obviously be no good for your required scalability to include grandfathers.

The solution, IMO, would be to maintain two Dictionaries. One that indexes the sons by their father, and one that indexes fathers by their sons (the one you already have). when you add one in you add the appropriate values to each dictionary; when you define that Bob is the Son of George, for example, you add Bob with the Key George to your existing dictionary, but you also add George with the key Bob to the second dictionary; then you use the correct dictionary based on how you are searching.

Of course, this means that any father can only ever have one son, which is implied somewhat anyway since your original dictionary couldn't have more than one son indexed by the father anyway.

I see. the issue is that your original assessment was backwards. There is no reason to have sons indexed by fathers, because according to the question, you do not need to retrieve the sons given a father, but the opposite way. So you can do this with only one dictionary, one which indexes fathers based on sons.

Given a Dictionary named "Paternity" with sons as the key, and fathers as the value, and a name "n":

Code: [Select]

Father = Paternity[n]


would retrieve the father for the son named in variable n.

Now, At this point, you should be able to figure out how to get a grandfather as well; after all, a Grandfather is just a father's father, you have the father, and you have a way to get fathers based on sons, right? You just put those together.

Hi can someone create some code for me please to remove [www.lokotorrents.com] from the file name of a WHOLE bunch of files in the same directory in one command line please?

example:
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\Downloads\filea[www.lokotorrents.com].nul
and
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\Downloads\fileb[www.lokotorrents.com].nul

to remove [www.lokotorrents.com] from all the files in one GO thanks if you can help Why has it got to be in one line?
okay, it can be on multiple lines in which case can you create a batch file for it to run from? noticing a pattern here? I'm lazy!
I'm sure it could probably be done in one line anyways using a wild card. Basically I want to remove that part of the file name from 100's of files but not using lame-*censored* GUI windows which will take me hours. First person to give me the code wins a speed-boat.Quote

Hello! Once again, I come to you guys and gals with YET another problem. I have been creating an ASCII RogueLike with c++. Now it is nowhere close to ever be finished if I can't figure out this problem. For this game I would like it to be able to load maps from a text file and process it and then PRINT it to the screen. I don't know how though. I don't know if I should use a CHAR array or a vector with pop_back. What I do know is how to load the text file, with ifstream.

Thanks for any help!
Shiverbob
Curious as to what the "RogueLike" is... is this the game title?

Here is more info that might help: http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/ntcs/

Is this going to be a turn based game where you make a selection and then press the enter key to submit your move etc or a game that does not require enter key to be pressed following a key input?

Will you need collision detection between objects on your map?

Is there a reason why you are having to read in from a text file the game map when you can more simply just have it hard coded in the initialization of the array etc?Quote from: DaveLembke on March 14, 2015, 09:33:34 PM

Hello,
I am new at creating batch files and am having a bit of trouble. what i am trying to do is build a batch that will basically copy the contents of 3 different files and paste them to a location on my network. i have come up with a CMD line code that will do the job but when i attempt to build this into a batch file it fails on my command. my code i am trying to use is as follows.

for /f %H in (hostnames.txt) do @robocopy /COPYALL /E "\\source" "\\%H\c$\DESTINATION"

i want this code to run 3 times copying 3 different files to 3 different locations from 3 different locations. any help would be appreciated. if you need more info feel free to ASK. In a batch script, you need 2 percent signs in FOR variables, but only one at the prompt. So change %H to %%H. Thanks for the help on that, one more question i added the extra % and that seemed to work BARING the attached image. basicaly CMD is showing that the destination is not found. when i run the command outside of the batch file it runs fine. any ideas?



[attachment deleted by admin to conserve space]Maybe run the batch as administrator?
Also check that the folders shown actually exist

location does exist as i am ABLE to push these files using just the solo command outside of the batch file. as for admin attempted while logged in as admin on system still no go just getting the error inside the image provided. my goal here is to basically push 3 folders/files to a group of pc's on a network streamlining the process so i dont need to move the files/folders manualy if that gives any insight to aid in this endeavor Looking at your screenshot I can see plain as day that you did not double BOTH of the percent symbols.Me too.

I've tried everything I can think of.
I'm building a sort of chat bot for IMVU, USING injected JavaScript on the IMVU mobile website. I have a loop to crawl the messages received, and search for certain key terms, like a message beginning with a slash (/) to indicate a command to the bot. When certain commands are used, I have a problem that the bot seems to get stuck in the loop, almost as if the index of the for loop is being modified inside the loop. The code is included below. If you need more, ask, and if you find something that might be causing the problem, please let me know. I'm at my wit's end.

}I've added a topic on StackOverflow as well, will post back the answer if I should resolve it here.Try changing your function to use each() to loop through each element instead of the loop you have. Once an element has been processed, add a "processed" class to the element so we dont look at them again later. This should be more stable than forcing our logic to KEEP up with what ones have been processed already.

Here is a jsFiddle, throw in the html from your page that actually causes the problem and see if it still occurs

Code: [Select] function verifyCommand() {
//fixed some logic in here
if ($(".message-list-item").length > last_cmd_count && !processing_commands) {
processing_commands = true; // you should set this immediately
var new_length = $('.message-list-item').length;
console.log("Begin processing commands... ** SYSTEM LOCK **");
console.log('Last command count: '+ last_cmd_count +', New Length: '+new_length);
var newMessages = $('.message-list-item:not(.processed)'); // get all of the message elements that do not have the class "processed"
// loop through each of the message elements
newMessages.each(function(index, element){
console.log('Processing new element at index '+index );
try {
var callinguser = $(this).find('.username-text').text().replace("Guest_", "");
var messagetext = $(this).find('.message-text').text();
$(this).addClass('processed'); // add processed class to the element so we know not to process it again later
if (callinguser != "RoomGreet") {
if (messagetext.match(/^\//)) {
if (callinguser.match(/IMVU User/)) {
die();
}
processCommand(messagetext.substr(1), callinguser);

Like the SUBJECT says I've been trying to learn java by making a Minecraft mod (I've tried tutorials it ends up with me copying code and not learning anything.. and I've been playing Minecraft a while so why not learn like this? [or if there's a a better way I'm willing to try you war]) I'm just looking for someone that can maybe call me on Skype or Team VIEWER or some other form of helping me learn. It would be EXTREMELY helpful for me!There are Java user groups all over the world.

What sort of programming experience do you have? If none, start off trying to learn something like Python on http://www.codecademy.com/ then move on to something like Java from there. Minecraft mods are far too complex to be used to learn to program, you need to focus on learning the BASIC concepts of any programming language and only move on to making advanced stuff once you have mastered these.

If you start by following tutorials on how to make big projects all you end up doing is copying insanely complicated blocks of code without understanding what they do, you need to get to grips with the basic concepts of programming before you start doing this.Java modding is a lot HARDER then you think. I recommend that you learn something easy first like batch or Python. The move up from there. Use resources AVAILABLE to you like YouTube and documentation for help, use books. Go to a library check out a book on it. Learn the idea of programming. What good and what bad. But ultimately it's up to you.new boston tutorials on youtube (coding along and messing around as you go) are pretty good.

Hello,

I have zero experience writing bat files, but was told on the hope chat to come here and ask as it was the way to do it.

I can make a shortcut on a flashdrive pointing to a local .exe file on the same drive. However, the shortcut breaks if the drive letter changes when it's plugged into a different machine.

Any help would be appreciated.

THanksYou say the exe is on the flashdrive? If so, you may only need to eliminate the drive letter from the line that invokes the exe.

Can you post the bat file?I don't have a bat and wouldn't have the faintest idea how to write one. A loooong way from my area of expertise!

I asked in the live chat how I could create a shortcut for an exe on a flashdrive where the drive letter can (and does) change when it's used on different PCs.

Someone said to USE a bat file. I couldn't write one.



ThanksHow is the exe file being started? Why can't the user just double click on the exe?

Perhaps this is what the Original Poster wants.

He has a .EXE file on a flash drive that he wants to run other PCs in his group. He would like a shortcut or batch file that would include the best set of parameters for the .EXE file. And shorten the name of the shortcut or batch.

The problem is that the drive letter changes when the drive is moved to another PC.
Poor example:
try.bat is:
F:\tryprogram.exe -a -b -c
So he puts try.bat on F:\ and he then takes it to another computer whee the drive letter for the flash drive i G: and the program fails to start.
Does this describe the problem?

If the exe is on the flashdrive then the invocation doesn't need to include the drive letter.

try.bat:
tryprogram.exe -a -b -c

This would work if try.bat and tryprogram.exe are both in the same folder on the flashdrive and the user invokes try.bat from that folder. If try.bat was in the root folder of the flashdrive and tryprogram.exe was in a folder called tryme, then try.bat would look like this:

\tryme\tryprogram.exe -a -b -c

The problem would come into play if try.bat is on the user's C: drive and was trying to invoke tryprogram on the flashdrive, in that case the drive letter would be required.
Thanks for all replies.

Salmon Trout - when I plug my USB in, I want to be able to run 6 programs from my USB. Each exe is SEVERAL folders deep - that's a lot of clicking.

I right clicked > send to > desktop (create shortcut).

That's fine until the drive letter changes.



Yes, that describes my problem Geek-9pm.


Strollin - so the code should be (for one of the programs)

\mikejava\109\IDE\eclipse\eclipse.exe -a -b -c

Thank you



Rather than send a shortcut to the desktop, one must create a shortcut or batch on the target drive.
The the user must navigate to the target drive and start the batch or shortcut.
Otherwise, this is, to my knowledge, no DOS thing that finds a drive letter for you.
If thee was, the pseudo code would be:
Code: [Select]For N=1 to 26
Type=FindDrive(n)
IF Type =="USB" set Gotdit = NThat is not real code.
It KINDA represent the idea if there was a FindDrive thing is DOS.

PowewrShell has something like that.
Code: [Select]GET-WMIOBJECT –query “SELECT * from win32_logicaldisk where DriveType = ‘3’” Also in C++ there is a thing. Somewhere.

1) Take a string of unspecified length as input. The string is composed of three kinds of characters C,H and E. The string can be of any lenth

for eg) CCCHEECHHHC, CCCHEEEEEHHCCCHHEHHHEHCH,

The program should print the following output

a cylinder for H,
an arrow for E
and a STRAIGHT line for C

(An example has been given in the file below where input and output are both noted as pred)

2)Take a string of unspecified length as input. The string is composed of two kinds of characters, either e or -. The string can be of any lenth
for eg) ee--EEEE-------eeee--------e, -----e---e---,

Maybe I am ignorant, but I do not under stand why your have a Function defined inside a loop. But maybe things have changed since I did programming.

is there any one that knows of a way to make a BATCH file that will automate the process of creating sharepaths via the computer management screen. i have a process where i work that requires me to drop a folder and Chrome Icon into the C:\ of a list of PC in our company and i have to create a sharepath to each of these and then forward the list of paths to the uppers. any one know if it is possible to create a batch file that can do this ? Could you please PROVIDE some examples of what you are trying to accomplish.

Hi all, I'm a hack sql programmer / web designer of sorts. More of an Excel moderate/exp than a programmer. I'm familiar with batch files and how to use them, but very unfamiliar with how to program them.

I need a batch file to perform the following move:

From location:
C:\Materials\Transfer File

Filenames:
V00128594 11-001 MINERALS.pdf
V00128594 11-001 MICROS.pdf
V00128598 11-1000 MICROS.pdf
V00129476 11-001 MICROS.pdf
V00131451 33-4872 MICROS.pdf
V00131451 33-4872 MINERALS.pdf
V00131451 33-4872 SPECTROPHOTOMETRY.pdf

Results would look like this with Move To Filename Locations:
C:\Materials\11's\11-001

• V00128594 11-001 MINERALS.pdf
• V00128594 11-001 MICROS.pdf
• V00129476 11-001 MICROS.pdf

• V00128598 11-1000 MICROS.pdf

• V00131451 33-4872 MICROS.pdf
• V00131451 33-4872 MINERALS.pdf
• V00131451 33-4872 SPECTROPHOTOMETRY.pdf

MOVE "C:\Materials\Transfer File\*11-001*.*" C:\Materials\11's\11-001

MOVE "C:\Materials\Transfer File\*11-001*.*" C:\Materials\11's\11-001
MOVE "C:\Materials\Transfer File\*11-1000*.*" C:\Materials\11's\11-1000
MOVE "C:\Materials\Transfer File\*33-4872*.*" C:\Materials\33's\33-4872

I've located several examples in this forum that are very close, but I can't seem to figure out how to tell it the new location based upon the "33" before the dash, and adding an "'s" for the folder directory. Thanks in advance for any help.

Currently doing GCSE computing where we have coursework which has to meet the deadline however HELP is required from experts that have greater knowledge using this.

Task 1 has been completed (designing mathematical quiz for students generating random multiplication questions) Task 2 has been completed (creating .TXT file for storing the data students got on the mathematical TEST) however Task 3 requires you to sort the data into alphabetical order, highest to LOWEST score and average score which has not been completed because help is needed.

The code which I have currently is...

results = input("Which class would you like to see: A, B or C? \n")
if results =="A":
print ("Mathematical test data for class A has been sorted in alphabetically order")
with open("ScoresClassA.txt", 'r') as r:
for LINE in sorted(r):
print(line, "\n", end='')

if results =="B":
print ("Mathematical test for class B has been sorted in alphabetically order")
with open("ScoresClassB.txt", 'r') as r:
for line in sorted(r):
print(line, "\n", end='')

But when I run the code it sorts the .txt in alphabetical order when I input one class but it gives below the alphabetical order for class B which I do not want because I requested for one class to be shown when it asked me to input the name ?

How would I do the highest score?
How would I do it by the average?

Thank you!
Well since you did not surround your code with code tags it is hard to tell whether or not you have your code indented properly. Too me it does not look like you have the code indented properly so the interpreter will always execute the second with statement and print the sorted B file.

But in my opinion, if you have three options to check you should use IF ELIF statements.when you open the data, add it to any array (as are, but then sort it manually (not with the sorted() function). How are you storing the data in the text file? You may need to do something like this:
Code: [Select]data = open("filename",'r')
data = data.readlines()
for line in data:
line = line.replace("\n","").split("delimiter")

# Sort algorithm here

Look up what kind of sorting algorithm is most efficient for your specific case and implement it there. Then you have a sorted list and you do so your print loop.

I assume from the lack of responces to other python questions, that there isn't anyone else that writes python code here, but I am having a PROBLEM with py2exe. The code runs fine in python interpreter, but when I 'compile' it via py2exe, it stops responding. Any ideas?

Are you using the 32 or 64 bit version of py2exe and on a 32 or 64 bit os? Friend of mine I sent a message on FB about this who dabbles with python and has made stand alone exe's using py2exe stated something about the 64 bit version being buggy and the 32-bit version being better. Also he said make sure you have the newest version in case there are any bug fixes for the issue your having.

Other than that he mentioned something about any legacy scripting techniques maybe not being supported under the py2exe and choking it up or missing dependencies for py2exe when it compiles, however a missing dependency should give an error message.

Hope this helps...

Thanks, I'll check on the version of py2exe that's installed. I've only just started using py2exe (as in this is the first test) and I'm using someone else's script to run it. The problem might also be in that.

Code: [Select]import sys
from distutils.core import setup
import py2exe

entry_point = sys.argv[1]
sys.argv.pop()
sys.argv.append('py2exe')
sys.argv.append('-q')

opts = {
'py2exe': {
'compressed': 1,
'optimize': 2,
'bundle_files': 1
}
}

setup(console=[entry_point], options=opts, zipfile=None)
where the script to be compiled is passed in as the first argument (Python setup.py script.py)


EDIT:
It was the setup.py file, I rewrote it and now it compiles. Thanks for the advice about the 64bit version.

Our company MANAGES its projects in individual notebooks, and we use a master workbook to show program summaries. All files are stored on an internal, mapped drive.

I'm having some trouble pulling data from the project notebooks to the master workbook using this reference format:

=('\\AAA.BBB.CCC.net\wce\Maytag\Maytag-common\management tools\PROGRAM\[Prog_Fcst[File-M123456-ABC123 XYZ.xlsm]Program Hrs'!A1)

My END goal is to have the references AUTOMATICALLY update without opening the SOURCE files. Any suggestions?

Thank you!The \\server\path\to\file syntax may not work (never tried it TBH). You may WANT to try mapping the drive to give it a drive letter on your machine, then use this path in Excel.

So I have code that takes 2,000,000+/- 1,000,000 coordinates and creates images of lines between them (consecutively). I want to make these images into a gif file for easy viewing. Unfortunately, there are too many of them to load into MEMORY at once, so I am trying to create a gif with the first 2, then add on each image at the end.

a gif file for easy viewing.

A GIF file is made up of a bunch of different "blocks" of data. The following diagram shows all of the different types of blocks and where they belong in the file. The file starts at the left and works it's way right. At each branch you may go one way or the other. The large "middle" section can be repeated as many times as needed. (Technically, it may also be omitted completely but i can't imagine what good a GIF file with no image data would be.)

I'm running into an issue where when I write the gif, instead of adding to it, it replaces what already exists (I believe).

Hello... I am trying to write a visual basic 6 program that ACCESS an excel file over the network.
I have looked everywhere on the Internet but still unable to locate any sample code...
Please could someone offer some help!

Thanks in advanceAre you talking about ACCESSING a Comma Delimited CSV file with VB6 reading in info and writing back to a CSV file or are you looking to make a VB Script macro to use WITHIN Excel itself?

Have you EVER worked with VB before so that I/we can use terminology here and you'd be all set with it or should we describe everything in a greater detail in future posts to this thread?

Additionally is there a reason why your using VB6 which is almost 20 years old vs a newer VB IDE?

digit = input("Give a Number")

print ("this is a %d") % digit

word = input("Give a String")

print ("this is a %s") % word
#print ("this is a %r") % word

# how do you ask for a number and then print it, i can print a number, but not a string
# how do you ask for a string and then print itWhat language is this. I ask because it looks like Python but half of it makes no SENSE as Python- and also because you decided to never mentioned what language it was.

What is % supposed to do?PYTHON

i used

%s

in the string to take a string from the VARIABLE which is listed at the end of the string with

% word

thinking that

the variable word would be PUT in place of

%s


and % d use for a digit

and %r use to force either a string or digitCode: [SELECT]print ('digit:%d' % (digit))

(comment powershell for display of output and the NOTEPAD++ to show what was typed to get there)





_______________________________________ _______________________________________ __________________________









I wasn't giving you a working solution. I was giving you the correct syntax. The code sample you provided wouldn't work so I presumed the problem was based on that.

Input will always give you a string, not a number. use either the int() or float() to coerce the result into a numeric type.

Hi all,

I am having few xml files with same attrributes having different input values. I have created a js file to take these INPUTS from single xml file.

Following is the js code :
VAR Nodes = new Array();
var RaidType;
function XMLReader()
{
var Doc, node, s;
// Create a COM object
Doc = Sys.OleObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.6.0");
Doc.async = false;
var Filename = "test.xml";
// Load data from a file
Doc.load("C:\\test.xml");
// REPORT an error, if, for instance, the markup or file structure is invalid
// Obtain the node
node = Doc.documentElement;
// Process the node
ProcessNode(node);
}

function ProcessNode(ANode)
{
var i, ChildNodes;
// Process the node's value and insert it in variables
switch(ANode.nodeName)
{
case 'Node':
Nodes[a] = ANode.nodeTypedValue;
//Nodes = temp.split(" ");
Log.Message(Nodes[a]);
a = a + 1;
break;
case 'RaidType':
RaidType = ANode.nodeTypedValue;
Log.Message(RaidType);
break;
}
// Exclude helper nodes from processing
// Obtain the COLLECTION of child nodes
ChildNodes = ANode.childNodes;
// Processes each node of the collection
for(i = 0; i < ChildNodes.length; i++)
ProcessNode(ChildNodes.item(i));
}

I am Calling below two functions for execution :

XMLReader();
startUpgrade();


Query : As of now, i am able to RETRIEVE values from test.xml file (only) mentioned above in the code and execute. I need to similarly retrieve values from mutiple xml files ie. first time i need values from test.xml and process below functions:
XMLReader(); //values of test.xml
startUpgrade();

In the next iteration, i need values to be retrieved from abc.xml and process below functions:
XMLReader(); //values of abc.xml
startUpgrade();

In the next iteration, i need values to be retrieved from def.xml and process below functions:
XMLReader(); //values of def.xml
startUpgrade();

Can anyone help me on this as i am really confused on how to get going
Thanks in advance.. Issue resolved as i followed same procedure above to retrieve Xml files and paths and fed the inputs to above code by looping them.

Hello to anyone who can help.

I installed MinGW the codecompiler. I had some problems making the test pilot program ''Hello world'' RUN smoothly in CMD - never mind

When I finally had enough I decided to uninstall so I could re-install but it wouldn't let me with the message that it was still installed. Huh i thought??

So, I entered the command ''path'' into my cmd and found C/users / MinGW . OK, after that I went to environment variables and deleted minGW under that and when I checked CMD again it had successfully gone. So some success. HOWEVER, when I go to path I still see ''C:/bin etc


aaahhh but I don't know where it is and how to get rid of it or indeed any trace of MinGW so I can start again with EITHER the same code compiler or a DIFFERENT one to start using C language code.

If anyone has any suggestions they are most welcome - I am just a novice....

So im trying to create a program pretty much that will open other programs upon exit or with a time delay. I get no build errors but everytime i RUN my program i get the ERROR Cannot start process because a file name has not been provided. but launches the first program anyways just not the other one upon exit. anyone see any issues with the code i provided. Thanks alot appreciate any help

Code: [Select]using System;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Diagnostics.Contracts;

namespace ProcessExitSample
{
class testsandboxprogram
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Contract.Requires(args != null);
try
{
//why in the literal *censored* am i getting an error for no name!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!WHEN I DEFINED THE PATH
var firstProc = new Process();
Process.Start(@"PATH TO EXE I WANT TO LAUNCH");
firstProc.EnableRaisingEvents = true;

firstProc.Start();

firstProc.WaitForExit();

//so upon exit should run the second program here
Console.WriteLine("First process exited: " + firstProc.ExitCode);

var secondProc = new Process();
Process.Start(@"PATH TO PROGRAM I WANT TO LAUNCH");
secondProc.Start();

}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine("Something went wrong sorry :(: " + ex.Message);
return;
}
}
}
}Process.Start() isn't going to give the firstProc instance any information about the file you specified as a parameter, as it creates a new Process and starts it and returns that Process as the return value.

You probably want something like this:

Code: [Select] ProcessStartInfo FirstProcInfo = new ProcessStartInfo(@"C:\Path\To\executable.exe");
var FirstProc = Process.Start(FirstProcInfo);
FirstProc.WaitForExit();
ProcessStartInfo SecondProcInfo = new ProcessStartInfo(@"C:\Path\To\second\executable.exe");
var SecondProc = Process.Start(SecondProcInfo);

var SecondProc = Process.Start(SecondProcInfo);

That code wouldn't even compile. You defined the v ariable as FirstProc but then used it as firstProc.

anyway, Steam changes everything. When you launch a steam-managed game by itself it will launch steam telling it to launch itself and exit, so WaitForExit() will return immediately.

I don't get "method or Operation is Not Implemented".

Hi all - just wondering if someone has some coding i could use for a batch file in windows


I have a back up folder and files automatically backup with a date and time at the end. Over time this becomes a long list. Can someone share some coding for a batch file that once there is more than 2 of a specific file name [taking into account the file name will have successive dates and times] and then delete them leaving only the 2 latest files of each of the different files in that folder. Only needs to work when i run the batch.

e.g. keep The 2 latest
Apple 2017-01-01 21.30.xls
Apple 2017-01-01 21.59.xls
Apple 2017-01-02 21.10.xls
Apple 2017-01-03 21.150.xls

and keep the 2 latest
Water 2017-01-01 21.30.mdb
Water 2017-01-01 21.59.mdb
Water 2017-01-02 21.10.mdb
Water 2017-01-03 21.15.mdb

and so on....


Many thanks in anticipation


Ian

I have this coding - but it deletes all but the last 4 files in total - so it's not quite there yet:
pushd "C:\Users\ian.woodland\Documents\irw Bin" && ( for /f "skip=4 eol=: delims=" %%F in ('dir /b /o-d /tw /a-d') do del "%%F")I myself have taken the easy route with this myself. I shuffle backup files down a path to eventual deletion. Example Being Folder 1, Folder 2, and Folder 3.

Folder 1 is populated with the latest backup
Folder 2 is populated with backup that is up to 2 days old
Folder 3 is the waste bin where all files that end up here get deleted

example being:
Code: [Select]echo off
cls
@echo. Shuffling Backups and Deleting the 3rd day
@echo.
ERASE c:\backups\folder3\*.* /q
xcopy c:\backups\folder2\*.* c:\backups\folder3\*.*
erase c:\backups\folder2\*.* /q
xcopy c:\backups\folder1\*.* c:\backups\folder2\*.*
erase c:\backups\folder1\*.* /q
@echo.
@echo. Backup Shuffle Complete
pause
You will want to run this shuffle batch prior to your actual backup of latest data to folder1. This way all data is shuffled down making folder1 empty waiting the latest data after each run of this. *Note: Use of xcopy and wildcards is because I use this myself for multiple file types.

If you dont want it to shuffle as a wildcard anything contained within, you can shuffle just the mdb and xls files.

Warning: It is assumed when RUNNING this batch that no other important data is at the backup location such as Folder1 as for if the application or program is located in the same location as the backups such as with my example at Folder 1, it will rip the data from its home location and pass it down stream to Folder 2. This one line here is very dangerous if for example your program or application resided at the same location as your backups. If this is the case then the backup location needs to be changed to protect from moving the program from where it should remain. erase c:\backups\folder1\*.* /q

Code: [Select]echo off
cls
@echo. Shuffling Backups and Deleting the 3rd day
@echo.
erase c:\backups\folder3\*.* /q
xcopy c:\backups\folder2\*.mdb c:\backups\folder3\*.mdb
xcopy c:\backups\folder2\*.xls c:\backups\folder3\*.xls
erase c:\backups\folder2\*.* /q
xcopy c:\backups\folder1\*.mdb c:\backups\folder2\*.mdb
xcopy c:\backups\folder1\*.xls c:\backups\folder2\*.xls
erase c:\backups\folder1\*.* /q
@echo.
@echo. Backup Shuffle Complete
pause
*Last Important Note... You actually have 3 days of backup before the batch is run again. The waste cleanup of Folder 3 doesnt happen until the next run of this batch. So after you have run this and data is moved down from folder 2 to 3 ... 1 to 2 and then you run your backup for that day into the was empty Folder 1. You now have Folder 1, 2, and 3 with backup files. Until this batch is run in which Folder 3 is wiped clean and only 2 days move from folder to folder.

Reason why I did not use the MOVE command and decided to use XCOPY is because if this process was disrupted say a blackout. The MOVE command is less graceful to disruption whereas I have been told that XCOPY is graceful to interruption because its making a copy of the data to another destination vs moving the data bit for bit which if interrupted spells disaster. Maybe one of the batch gurus here can confirm that rumor. If using the MOVE command alone, this could be shortened as for the only erase would need to happen at Folder 3 and the MOVE command would move data between Folders 2 to 3 and 1 to 2.
hi Dave - thanks so much for taking the time to reply. Since i posted EARLIER, i decided that there was an easier way. I split into folders my backups and then have several batch files that delete all but 2 of the latest files from each folder. All the batch files run from just one single batch file that i'll get windows to run.

Much appreciate your suggestion and i'll keep it if my way doesn't work out

All the best

IanHello Ian,

Great to hear you got it to work. As per you stated using multiple batch files. Just wanted to mention that most of the time batches can be combined that is that you can merge batched instructions so that say you have 4 batches combined into 1, whatever needs to run first is at the top of the batch file, then the next batch to run you can copy paste that info from that batch file below the other batch files instructions, and do the same for adding contents from all other batches into that first back file. Order of Operation/Execution is what is most important. Batches are like a linear CHECKLIST of go down the line and do this and do that with ability to jump around with goto statements usually used only for when specific instructions are met or to start the batch over from scratch in an endless loop until CTRL+C or exiting the WINDOW and FOR loop instructions with parsing and other tasks.

But there are other times as well when you want functions/instructions to not run all the time as part of following other processes and for that keeping them separate makes sense.

I was looking online and cant find anything out there other than this one link below. Maybe my search is using wrong search words. I am curious with the standard rand() algorithm for a Windows based computer ( Stating Windows because I heard that Linux generates rand() differently ) how many numbers can be generated before the cycle repeats, basically the limitations of the algorithm. I expected this to be well documented and nothing to be found yet.

http://justbasic.conforums.com/index.cgi?board=tutorial&action=display&num=1170007376

What I found was this one hit that was the closest match but no cigar.

The random generators algorithm should repeat, but how many iterations can it run before it ends up back where it started in which the next numbers generated become predictable because it made a full circle?

At the link above someone else was already where I am now and they seemed to give up at 2 Billion generated Numbers with no repeating found.

Quote

1) JB have at least 2 000 000 000 un-repeating random numbers;
2) I do not know if they repeat anythere soon after 2 000 000 000 (remember, that 256^4 = 4 294 967 296)
3) probably JB not supposed to run for several days in a row non-stop. (Well, It might be a coincidence. I just not in mood to start this program for another 3 days).

"If we had a infinite amount of monkeys randomly pressing keys on an infinite amount of typewriters then eventually one of them will type out the entire Old Testament, correct to the last full stop."

But computationally generating such sequences where that phenomena could be observed would probably take even all the fastest supercomputers many thousands of years to discover (and that's an optimistic estimate).

Be aware that rdrand is actually a 128-bit pseudo-random number generator with hardware-generated entropy. (The upcoming Broadwell architecture will provide an rdseed instruction to access the true random number generator.) The details of the difference and its implications can be found under the "Long Answer" heading at http://software.intel.com/en-us/blogs/2012/11/17/the-difference-between-rdrand-and-rdseed.

Second link is about how to utilize the Intel RDRAND instruction.
Dave is using an AMD CPU.

Support for the RDRAND instruction is optional. On processors that support the instruction, CPUID Fn0000_0001_ECX[RDRAND] = 1

Even in Dave's specific case I don't think a cryptographically secure distribution would serve to improve a random cipher. (Could be wrong about that)

As far as your specific shuffling test, The default shuffle will swap every element with another randomly chosen element in the sequence. It is literally impossible for "RANDOM" to be shuffled into "RANDOM" regardless; the R, for example, will be randomly swapped with one of the other letters, and cannot swap with itself so will always be moved, as will all the other letters. The only way the same letter can appear in the same location in the input and output is if it appears more than once and is swapped with one of that letters other appearances.

Randomly rearrange elements in range
Rearranges the elements in the range [first,last) randomly.

The function swaps the value of each element with that of some other randomly picked element. When provided, the function gen determines which element is picked in every case. Otherwise, the function uses some unspecified source of randomness.

The function swaps the value of each element with that of some other randomly picked element

Size of long long types is 8 bytes
Signed long long min: -9,223,372,036,854,775,808 max: 9,223,372,036,854,775,807
Unsigned long long min: 0 max: 18,446,744,073,709,551,615

Note that int and long are the same size and if you want a 64 bit integer then you need to use long long (or unsigned long long).

The idea that a shuffle algorithm could return output that is the same as it's input and call it "shuffled" is poor design IMO.

I have been programming in VB6 and vbscript for a few years and have been annoyed that vbscript doesn't allow you to create any kind of interface aside from msgbox and inputbox. So I made it. I made it a while ago and discovered that it is very useful when you want to make GUIs without opening a VB6 project and creating a whole exe. I initially intended it to be used just by me, but then I got bored and decided to make it into an official project with documentation and everything. I also added a few other classes that do "AutoIt" like stuff. The actual file that creates the GUI is an ActiveX exe (28KB) that I created in VB6.

To test it:

Download the zip.
Run the install.bat (just copies to system32 and registers the exe)
Look at and run the sample vbscripts (sample1 might not work because of a path issue)
Use wshshelp in the help folder to read all of the functions that this has

Here is a quick sample of how this works encase you don't want to download:

Code: [Select]Dim f
Set f = CreateObject("WSHSHELL.GUI")

f.OpenWindow
f.SetWindowTitle "This is a sample window"
f.SetWindowLocation 10, 50
f.SetWindowSize 320, 200
f.LinearGradient 1, 0, 0, 255, 0, 0, 0

f.NewButton 1, "Push This!", 1, 1

While Not f.XIsPushed
Wscript.Sleep 100
If f.IsPushed("btn", 1) Then
f.FMsgBox "You pressed the button."
End If
Wend

f.CloseWindow
Set f = Nothing

[recovering DISK space - old attachment deleted by admin]What was wrong with using GTK with VBScript Language bindings?

(http://www.gtk-server.org/embedded.vbs.txt)

I mean no offense, but I can tell your rather new to most of this- I gather this purely from your apparent fascination with gradients. One of my first Subroutines was for painting a gradient in a variety of styles, and the first ActiveX Control I created was as well.


I've experimented with similar ideas (generalized GUI framework for scripting) but I didn't want to use it for VBScript, I wanted to use it with BCScript. Unfortunately I refuse to settle for a simple premise such as adding public methods that simply add new items to a control array. Controls.Add() would have worked perfectly, but unfortunately I could not find a way to properly sink events. I already had/have a rudimentary method (I could simply hook the event to a Evaluator function, in either my older VB6 version or my newer C# revisit) the issue (at least with VB6) was that I wanted a generalized method- I didn't want a event handler set that only worked for forms or certain controls, I wanted a way to actually sink events completely generically, much as VBControlExtender allows for ActiveX Controls (but I wanted this for control and object types). I managed to get a almost working version by manually implemented COM interfaces like IConnectionPoint2, but the whole thing was pretty much a rube goldberg device standing on a house of cards, something that comes with the territory when you start dealing with low level COM interfaces and literally EDIT the memory of Object Vtables to get around the fact that some COM interfaces have methods that are VB6 keywords. I learned this first with IEnumVariant, I had my BCFile library working so that I could use For Each and iterate through all the files in a folder, and the custom implementation would retrieve each ITEM one by one, rather then the makeshift method usually implemented, which is to just defer to a collection CLASS (that is, grab all files at once and RETURN the collection's IEnumVariant Implementation) The thing worked perfectly in the IDE, but crashed when compiled. And with all the various memory copies and modified object vtables, not to mention window subclassing debugging was anything but easy. I managed to trace it to a single instruction but was never able to determine the true cause.

Thankfully, with C#, this might be a little easier to implement, if I decide to allow it to be used as a sort of scripting language. Events are far easier to handle in a more generic fashion, especially thanks to reflection. (although the typelib information library was and is a powerful tool in VB6, when you don't have to language constructs to take advantage of the information, the information is useless).

The F: drive is were VB6 is installed as well as all my program files. Why do you ask?

I would have used C to make it faster.

also whats with the "behzad.khazama" as the description in the manifest, as well as the url to "http://www.khazama.com/" And what is "Dosaidsoft"?

I'd remove those, or at least change them. I know I still have a few executables on my drive floating around with "School District 68" as their author.

In My Opinion , SMALL Basic. is Nor for everyone - But great for youngsters.

From time to time somebody asks 'what is best way for a young person to understand programming?' Often the response is to tell the person to study C or C++ pr Pascal or Python or Ruby or XYZ. This will bury the newcomer in documentation! Many don't want to read. That have to see it.

A very useful set of tools came for Microsoft in the form of Visual Basic. True, diving into Microsoft Visual Studio is a big task. But there is Small Basic. It is a nice entry into Microsoft Basic.

With Small Basic you get a super simple syntax that can be enlarged to show modern ideas in programming. Some nice arcade games are available in Small Basic. You can just copy and paste the examples and have working game.

Demonstrates object collisions using real world physics properties. Tweak properties like elasticity, gravity, etc. to see the effects.

Help your students start writing their first programs quickly and easily. With only 15 keywords and an inviting development environment, Small Basic is structured to help them succeed. Students who wish to advance their software development skills can also take advantage of Small Basic's online guides and e-books to help them move ahead.

Also, languages with a C-style syntax seem to be considered more "professional" but all we end up with by people learning languages like C# and Java is a bunch of punctuation fetishists obsessed with Three-Letter Acronyms.

because C style languages are the most popular, I think they are the best to learn.

So that begs the question, what was Microsoft's intention with this version of Basic?

Small Basic is intended for beginners that want to learn programming. In our internal trials we've had success with kids between the ages of 10 and 16. However, it's not limited to just kids; even adults that had an inclination to programming have found Small Basic very helpful in taking that first step.

Hey! Question. What is the best.... that Python was the one to learn right now..... I'm a beginner programmer just trying to make my way around. Thanks!

Hey! Question. What is the best language to learn right now? I was told by a fellow programmer that Python was the one to learn right now. He said "It is the voice of the internet". But I'm skeptical because other languages seem just as good. I'm a beginner programmer just trying to make my way around. Thanks!

In the IT and software development industry, Python is often used to model a possible solution to a problem. Later, the finished product might be done with something that gives higher performance.

Learning Python as a first language will be a steep curve for the average person. IIMHO, the learning cure for Small Basic is much easier. Which is the point of this thread.

I see very little benefit to Small Basic over Python.

While yes, they can move up to Visual Basic, that is still not really seen as a great language and while it is used in industry, it is certainly not that nice to work with or used for building new stuff outside of small hacked up applications nowadays.

The key thing is to just take care and think about the code you are writing and what everything does rather than simply copying code from tutorials.

Hi, I get:

Fatal error: Can't use function return value in WRITE context in C:\xampp\htdocs\

from following code: I just want to determine "dayslate".
//---------

$dayslate = CURDATE() = DATE(DUEDATE);

// $dayslate = DATE(NOW()) - DATE(duedate);
//---------
// QUERY ON TABLENAME TABLE
$query = "SELECT dayslate,
--------------------------------What are you actually trying to do here? You have:
Code: [Select]$dayslate = CURDATE() = DATE(duedate);
Are you sure you aren't MEANING to SUBTRACT DATE(duedate) from CURDATE() rather than trying to set CURDATE() equal to DATE(duedate) which is what is causing the error. Your code should probably be:
Code: [Select]$dayslate = CURDATE() - DATE(duedate);

I'm writing a simple program to calculate someone's target heart rate, which is said to be between 50-85% of their max heart rate. Their max heart rate is defined as 220 minus their age.

Code: [Select] // based on age, return maximum HR
public int getMaxHeartRate()
{
int maxHeartRate = 220 - getUserAge();
return maxHeartRate;
}

// return target heart rate
public String getTargetHeartRate()
{
int targetHeartRateMin = (50/100) * getMaxHeartRate();
int targetHeartRateMax = (85/100) * getMaxHeartRate();
String targetHeartRate = " between " + targetHeartRateMin + " and " + targetHeartRateMax + " BPM.";
return targetHeartRate;
}

The getUserAge() method just takes a user inputted year and subtracts it from a Calendar.YEAR object, which works fine.

I'm calling the method with
Code: [Select] System.out.printf( "Your target heart rate range is: %s", getTargetHeartRate() );

I'm not sure where I'm going wrong, but I've a feeling it's a problem with DATA types between strings and ints. The output I get is "between 0 and 0 BPM", which obviously isn't correct.

Any help appreciated as usual. Quote from: kpac on October 13, 2011, 09:52:50 AM

but I've a feeling it's a problem with data types between strings and ints.

Another note, is that you might want to store the Result of getMaxHeartRate() beforehand, particularly if it asks for user input; if so you would need to enter the age twice.

Picked back up on my one project to work on it further and after months of not looking at my code, I read through it again and realized that I might be mis-using code in which it works, but is not correct usage. I looked on google to try to find information on how it works to support whether its correct or not or if I am actually using a buffer batch like exploit in my code and this is the closest match to what I have: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21675628/why-am-i-able-to-put-more-than-one-character-into-a-variable-of-type-char

Without listing the entire huge program I am just going to discuss the key areas. I initialize a Char at ch1 and have an input that is rested inside a while loop. This input into ch1 will take quite a few characters without a specified string length set. This is sort of sloppy when string length is unknown, but it works. When the user inputs data at the input such as Hello_World and then presses the enter key, it handles each character of the string input individually to end of the string. But the code is not told to handle the input as a string, instead the code appears to handle Hello_World as almost a batched character input where it will run the while loop for the number of characters entered. So the input is almost batching the characters as ( H, e, l, l, o, _, W, o, r, l, d ) then runs each character at a time as a single input stepping to the next then it ends when no more characters to process as an input.

Looking online as to how and why this works, I found this comment:

Quote

You type the whole string, the first GETCHAR() get first character, the remaining string stay at input stream, and your later getchar() inside while loop read them(one by one) and print out(one by one) until there are no char left(EOF), that's what happen. – moeCake Feb 10 '14 at 11:22

In the club we are given virtual images that are messed up and need to be fixed. Every single time we need to do things like change the passwords and turn on the firewall. I want a batch file to do all the simple stuff quickly, so we can have more time to work on the more complicated problems with the image.I feel it necessary to "defend" what is being done here in a way. It is being replied to as if it defies security, or is some sort of exploit. It is not. NET USER * allows a password to be changed. It doesn't just allow you to change any password willy-nilly- one must have appropriate privileges. On a school network, for example, the user doing so will require domain administrator privileges. Given the context they have provided, it makes sense that they would have these privileges within the virtual images.

By the time this command is of any use for defeating security, that security is already defeated- as Raymond Chen would say, "You're already on the other side of the airtight hatchway".

All that said- I have no idea what the OP is asking for. If you want to deal with multiple accounts, just run the batch file multiple times. (perhaps in a SECOND batch file)Quote

The thing is i need the passwords changed as fast a possible. To run the batch file multiple times wouldn't be much faster than just going in and changing it the normal way. On the image we are given there are usually 5+ user accounts and each account needs the password to be changed to "Cyberpatriots!" or something like that. To be able to run the batch file once and change all the account passwords, to a specified password, is the thing i want. We are given admin privileges on the images we work on.

I need a MINIMUM 1 clock cycle pulse on a REGISTER whenever any of a few variables (other registers) change.
The following code is in VERILOG:

always @ (var1, var2, var3)
pulse = 1;

always @ (posedge clk) begin
if (pulse == 1)
count = count + 1;
if (count > 1) begin
pulse = 0;
count = 0;
end
end That above results in the second Always block being ignored during synthesis optimizations.
Anyone know of a way to achieve a pulse?

The answer is found on the Microsoft web site. But the way it is done might not be what you would like. The problem is that you have too many administrators.
Maybe yeou will have to SOMEHOW put most of the users into some group.

Java changed all that. While platform-dependent, manually allocated, procedural C code will continue to be with us for the next 20 years at least, Java proved this was a choice, not a requirement. For the first time, we began writing real production code in a cross-platform, garbage-collected, object-oriented language; and we liked it ... millions of us. Languages that have come after Java, most notably C#, have had to clear the new higher bar for developer productivity that Java established

I have books on Java and Java Script which are 2 different but similar languages.

The similarities between Java and Javascript pretty much end at the name. They are about as similar as a car is to carpet or a hamster is to ham.

So you work for a bank, they need to you create a simple routine what's normally already usually created by a 3rd party company, and you don't know the language that the programming is in?

I have a friend who works for a bank and at least banks within the USA don't allow any information LIKE this to be shared outside of the bank. Additionally, they use a extremely secure system that was created by a 3rd party company outside of the bank that is liable for flaws in their programming, so its very well tested and penetration tested.

I would almost hope that this was homework and not an actual bank that needed to ACCOMPLISH this code goal to get this working. I do however like the 2.5% interest for savings private double interestRateSavings = 2.5; which is very generous compared to the less than 1% that I get on my savings.



Sounds like homework to me....Bank, Account, and Customer are nested classes of S3Banking. This means that in order to create instances of them you need an instance of S3Banking.

You can either split Bank, Account, and Customer into their own separate source files, or you can make the nested classes static. (You've also declared the Account constructor as "static" which isn't a valid modifier)

How do I create an interactive form using SPREADSHEET software that requests the person to enter a username, IDENTIFICATION number and job TITLE? Thanks in advance!I would do this using EXCEL VBA.

http://www.excel-easy.com/vba/examples/inputbox-function.htmlThanks you. I will try this.

I am programming a filter for a FPGA.
The input is 14 BITS, with registers arranged as [13:0], at a sample rate of 125 million samples per second.

I have coded the I/O to be this, where X[n] is input and y[n] is output:
aK,L[n] = x[n] − x[n − K] − x[n − L] + x[n − K − L]
b[n] = b[n − 1] + aK,L[n], n ≥ 0
c[n] = b[n] + MaK,L[n]
y[n] = y[n − 1] + c[n], n ≥ 0

There are 2 recursions needed, one at b[n] = b[n-1] + .... and one at y[n] = y[n-1] + ...
The first recursion at b[n] works properly, with expected outputs. The second recursion, however, exhibits some odd behavior. There are random spikes in the outputs for about 20 nanoseconds then return to expected values. The width of the input is 14 bits and all operations are done on 64 bit registers, oscillations are at a frequency of 100000hz, no overflow should be happening. Even if you're not sure how to fix this, any suggestions on what's causing this or possible solutions for this would be greatly appreciated (I honestly have no idea what could possibly be happening). Thanks in advance!
(Note: I should add that dividing c[n] by 1024 solves the issue, although I have no idea why. It does create new problems though, because of rounding errors, y[n] will approach to infinity if I divide c[n] by 1024. I am fine with dividing c[n] by 1024 if I can fix y[n] approaching infinity, as y[n] will simply be a trigger for the computer to capture x[n]).

- The code for this will be released as open-source once a working version is developed. For now, I'd prefer to not release any major section of the code just yet. If you need a specific MODULE to know what's causing this problem, then let me know and I'll post code for it if reasonable. c[n] is correct, y[n] is incorrect after recursion. Every operation in the equation (coefficients, +, -, *, /, ect...) represents a module.

1. Oscillations of ±80 to the original waveform, as if a sinusoidal wave is added on to the output waveform. This problem also occurred in simulator, so it may be an actual logic problem, let's not worry about that for now.

2. Incorrect shaping of output waveform (suggests synthesized logic isn't an exact match of equation mentioned in first post).

Does anyone know how to construct a macro that runs an Automatic spell check on a document when opening and closing it? Would be nice to have a macro button for it as well.

Would also like to know how to construct a macro that counts the number of words in a document too.

Yes I am aware Word has these features built in, but I'm a student working on a project and really in need of this information. Thanks in advance!
The forum can not help a student SHIP homework.
Exceptions are made for absolute Dummies. If you confess to being an absolute dummy, we MIGHT be able to help.

Here is a tutorial you should have read at least once:

You will find 6 screen shots of how a simple macro is made in Word. To go to the next screenshot, CLICK on the .

That will give you a start.


I am an absolute dummy on this specific topic and will ask nothing further based on my student side of life, just need some guidance not the answer, if that is possible? Okay, seeing the guidance POST, thanks

I'm using MS Access 97 and I'm TRYING to import a FoxPro "dbf" FILE. When I try to import, I get the message "Cannot access the FoxPro 3.0 BOUND DBF file ...(filename)". Now, I thought the file was a FoxPro 3.0 file, but the extension is dbf, not dbc and the file only shows up when I choose files of type "FoxPro (*dbf)" format and not "FoxPro 3.0 (*dbc)". Does that MAKE any sense?

THANKS.

Got into a discussion at work with another C++ hobbyist and they looked at a program I wrote and asked why not use

int main(void) instead of int main()

I personally have always used just int main() for the most part because its by habit and how I was taught in college.

Looking here there is a discussion on it:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/204476/what-should-main-return-in-c-and-c

Standard C++

The C++11 standard (ISO/IEC 14882:2011) says:

3.6.1 Main function [basic.start.main]

¶1 A program shall contain a global function called main, which is the designated start of the program. [...]

¶2 An implementation shall not predefine the main function. This function shall not be overloaded. It shall have a return type of type int, but otherwise its type is implementation defined. All implementations shall allow both of the following definitions of main:

int main() { /* ... */ }

and

int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { /* ... */ }

In the latter FORM argc shall be the number of arguments passed to the program from the environment in which the program is run. If argc is nonzero these arguments shall be supplied in argv[0] through argv[argc-1] as POINTERS to the initial characters of null-terminated multibyte strings (NTMBSs) (17.5.2.1.4.2) and argv[0] shall be the pointer to the initial character of a NTMBS that represents the name used to invoke the program or "". The value of argc shall be non-negative. The value of argv[argc] shall be 0. [ Note: It is recommended that any further (optional) parameters be added after argv. —end note ]

¶3 The function main shall not be used within a program. [...]

¶5 A return statement in main has the effect of leaving the main function (destroying any objects with automatic storage duration) and calling std::exit with the return value as the ARGUMENT. If control reaches the end of main without encountering a return statement, the effect is that of executing

return 0;

The accepted answer appears to be targetted for C++, so I thought I'd add an answer that pertains to C, and this differs in a few ways.

ISO/IEC 9899:1989 (C90):

main should be declared as either:

int main(void)
int main(int argc, char **argv)

Or equivalent. For example, int main(int argc, char *argv[]) is equivalent to the second one. Further, the int return type can be omitted as it is a default.

If an implementation permits it, main can be declared in other ways, but this makes the program implementation defined, and no longer strictly conforming.

The standard defines 3 values for RETURNING that are strictly conforming (that is, does not RELY on implementation defined behaviour): 0 and EXIT_SUCCESS for a successful termination, and EXIT_FAILURE for an unsuccessful termination. Any other values are non-standard and implementation defined. main must have an explicit return statement at the end to avoid undefined behaviour.

Finally, there is nothing wrong from a standards point of view with calling main() from a program.

ISO/IEC 9899:1999 (C99):

For C99, everything is the same as above except:

The int return type may not be omitted.
You may omit the return statement from main. If you do, and main finished, there is an implicit return 0.

Personally, any C++ main() routine I write (I don't write C/C++ very often, though) get's the full int main(int argc, char** argv) definition. (Should be noted that char** argv is identical to char* argv[] as a parameter type, though I'm not sure how I got into that habit)

In Windows Explorer, when I double click on a dbf file (of FORM .dbf), INSTEAD of opening the file in VFP, I get a message ".fxp is not an object file".

e.g. clicking on T_DCLNT.DBF, gives message "t_dclnt.fxp is not an object file".

OS is Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit.

Am unsure what to do as Windows 7 no longer has the Edit File Type tab to edit ACTIONS associated with a particular extension or file type.
You don't have the Edit File tab but you do have Open with... Right click on the DBF file in Windows Explorer and choose Open with... Then choose your Visual FoxPro and check the "ALWAYS use the selected program to open this type of file" box.

First things first, I suggest that rather than jumping straight in and building this you go and learn how to properly perform database QUERIES in PHP. At the moment you are putting user input directly into queries which leaves you wide open to SQL Injection Attacks. You need to read up on how to properly escape inputs coming from the user before putting them into a query or use something like PDO to work with prepared statements.camerongray has a point here. You should not be developing code that leaves user input unfiltered. However, I realize we all start somewhere, just that I would advise you to keep your testing code on a local server, or on a server with a .htaccess entry to restrict access to only your IP address. This is how I started, throwing myself into development and learning what I needed to as the need arose.

Moving on:

Correct me if I am wrong, but it looks like you are trying to essentially timestamp when the records were accessed and increment the "views" each time the script is called.

There are two ways you could do this.

SINCE you have the "$name = $_POST['target']" therefore requiring a POST request, you could look into a JQuery call in JavaScript to run the code2.php page when code1.php also loads.

You could also use an include or require or require_once and include the code2.php file that way, and find a way of naming the "$name" variable before the include (As variables from your code1.php are run in your includes) and then get rid of the $_POST variable.

Still, the code is vulnerable to SQL Injection attacks and I would keep this on a private server.

I claim not to be an expert so if anyone else has some better SOLUTION let us know. Thanks for the response. My past was in data proc., now, with memory probs, it's my pastime, localhost only.
Having written hundreds of docs using mysql I'm attempting to learn mysqli. I intend going to prepared statements, if only for the learning exp.
The following code is my current stab at it.

My object is just to update
fields in a database table. The 3 records in the table are shown in the
subsequent report. All the fields DO have a value and the recur values are 'Y', payrec 'P' and periodic '1 or 6' but nothing GETS updated.
No errors indicated.
Any help?

$periodic='';
