I am creating an Applet using java. The applet is supposed to get user input to make a rectangle. The user will enter in the height and width, and then click the draw BUTTON to have the rectangle drawn. My code compiles and runs fine, but I am just having some problems with some of the minor details. I am supposed to restrict the maximum and MINIMUM SIZE of the applet such that the user cannot enter a negative number or zero for the min, and limit the max so that the rectangle will be properly displayed in the applet. I'm thinking that this part would be IF statements, but I'm just unsure of how to goabouts in writing the IF statement. Also, I would like to have an image set as my background, but I just can't seem to get it to work right. Here is my code

Code: [SELECT]

import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.text.*;
import java.awt.Graphics;

public class rectangle extends Applet implements ActionListener
{
//declare VARIABLES
Image background; //declare an Image object
int height, width;

//construct components

Label heightLabel = new Label("Enter the height of your rectangle: ");
TextField heightField = new TextField(10);
Label widthLabel = new Label ("Enter the width of your recntagle: ");
TextField widthField = new TextField(10);
Button drawButton = new Button("Draw Rectangle");
Label outputLabel = new Label("Click the Draw Rectangle button to see your rectangle.");
public void init()
{
setMaximumSize(new Dimension(700,700));
setMinimumSize(new Dimension(500,500));
setForeground(Color.green);
add(heightLabel);
add(heightField);
add(widthLabel);
add(widthField);
add(drawButton);
drawButton.addActionListener(this);
add(outputLabel);
setBackground(Color.red);
background = getImage(getCodeBase(), "santa.jpg");


}
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
{
height = Integer.parseInt(heightField.getText());
width = Integer.parseInt(widthField.getText());
repaint();
}
public void paint(Graphics g)
{
g.setColor(Color.green);
g.drawRect(125,100,width,height);
g.fillRect(125,100,width,height);
g.drawImage(0,0,background);

}
}

I was helping a friend with a Python assignment and in their code I noticed something along the lines of this:

Code: [Select]if x < (y and z):

They were a bit of a novice at PROGRAMMING and I take it that their intention was that they wanted to simply check if x was less than y and z, but when the were getting incorrect SELECTIONS from this conditional, I suggested that they simply change it to

Code: [Select]if x < y and x < z:
which then worked out.

Now here's what I'm curious about. What does a language do when the operands of a boolean operator are not true/false or 1/0?

What does (y and z) equal when y and z are say 1.5 and 0.2? Does it vary from language to language?

I personally have little experience with Python and in other languages like C++ or Java this would simply error. But the very fact that the code ran in Python has me a little confused.1. The word "Boolean" comes from the name of George Boole, so is spelled with a capital B, although many people don't SEEM to bother these days.

2. A Boolean or logical data type can have one of two values (usually denoted true and false). These can be represented with 1 bit which can either be 1 or 0. In most languages when you try to do a Boolean operation on data types of more than 1 bit, a "bitwise" operation is performed, that is, each bit of one number, with each bit of another number, performing a logic operation for every bit.

The boolean math expression below describes this:

e.g.

00001111 AND
00011110
--------  equals
00001110


I don't think it makes sense to try and do Boolean stuff with non integers.
Ah ok. I knew of SEPARATE bitwise operators like & and | in addition to comparison operators like && and || in Java/C++, but I hadn't thought that 'and' and 'or' would automatically do that for inputs with binary representations that require more than 1 bit. This is the first time I've seen it happen.

So for the example I indicated, should I assume that Python took the binary representations of 1.5 and 0.2 and performed bitwise 'and' on them?

Also I'll keep capitalization of Boolean in mind from now on  I'm not sure how Python represents non integer values.Or how it does logical operations on non-Boolean data types, if it does them at all. My example was from FreeBasic. Like I said, I don't think it makes sense to try bitwise operations with non integer values. Did you understand why I wrote that? (Do you know what "floating point" means?)


Well I have some sense of what floating point means. I did recently learn the IEEE representation for floating point numbers, which are essentially decimal values.Some time ago, Bill Gates, or somebody like him, made the run that false would be 0 and true would be -1 using 16 bit integer on the Intel 8080 CPU. the minus one is expressed in binary as:
1111 1111-1111 1111
The Intel CPU can test for zero or non-zero values. Engineers like to use this to read the status of external devices. Thus any value that is not zero is a true value.

In other words, the practice is more practical than pure.

Hey does anyone know how to send windows key using VBS?

Thanks,What are you REFERRING to in SEND?

I have a few things that come to mind, but i need more info to know I am on track with what you are trying to do. Are you wanting to send-pass a windows key into a location like an unattended install or send it out from say the REGISTRY using a VBS? Or something ELSE ... registry key alteration etc?Windows Key?
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2384344,00.asp
Nope, not that
http://dltv.wordpress.com/2007/03/12/vbs-script-to-get-windows-xp-cd-key-and-save-to-text-file/
No
Send?
http://www.computerperformance.co.uk/ezine/ezine120.htm

If you're talking about the Windows logo key on the keyboard, you cannot use the sendkeys METHOD in VBScript. This also applies to the context menu, numlock and print screen keys.

If you're not talking about the Windows logo key on the keyboard, then we need more information.

 Correction to above post: The numlock key can can be sent via the sendkeys method.

Sorry for any confusion.  sorry for ambigouity, i want to send the windows logo key using wshshell.sendkeys()

if this isnt possible does anyone know how to move a window in C++ using a handle to fill half the screen, the same as when you PUSH a window in windows 7 to the far side and it auto does it for you?

I am creating a Windows Form Application in Visual C++ 2011 Express and have run into a problem.

To populate a list box, I have used a for loop in Form1.h. This works fine and my program will still build and run, but design view no longer works. I get the following error:

C++ CodeDOM parser error: Line: 368, Column: 9 --- Unexpected token for a 'term'

Line 368 Contains my for loop, as shown here:

Code: [Select] for (INT i = 5; i <= 50; i = i + 5)
{
listBox1->Items->ADD( i );
}
Does anyone know the reason for this? I'm pretty confused as to why I can compile and run the program still, but design view fails to function.Can you share entire source so we can see if we get same error or is source private? Dont have much to work with with a for loop and cant simulate at my END to plug away at this. I haven't played with 2011 yet. I am still using C++ 2010 express. So I will also have to upgrade to 2011 to be apples to apples.A soon as the appearance of C++ language, the standard library goes with it. It contributres to preplace the traditional C functions,for examples the printf and scanf. For this, the standard library turned to be the large QUANTITY of the Standard TEMPLATE Library. So, it known as a hybrid language.

Hey Guys,

I want to make my own WEB BROWSER, something really basic that you type in a text box and a page appears. Any ideas on where to start, i would PREFER to write this in C++

Thanks in advanceYou are into C++. Good move. 
Surly you understand that a browser can and should be OS independent. At least at the source code level. That is in harmony with the concept of C++ programming. The point is do not ignore the work of others just because its not built  for the OS you presently use. That should not really matter very much.

Look at this:

Hello all,

I am starting to dive headfirst into VBScript, and I am already encountering problems. The following script is designed to run to install some raw TCP/IP ports that can be utilized to install some network computers.

Code: [Select]Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
myKey = "HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Print\Monitors\Standard TCP/IP Port\Ports"
WshShell.RegWrite myKey&"\","10.0.0.1",Nothing

myKey = "HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Print\Monitors\Standard TCP/IP Port\Ports\10.0.0.1"
WshShell.RegWrite myKey&"\",Protocol,Nothing
WshShell.RegWrite myKey&"\Protocol",1,"REG_DWORD"
WshShell.RegWrite myKey&"\",Version,Nothing
WshShell.RegWrite myKey&"\Version",2,"REG_DWORD"
WshShell.RegWrite myKey&"\",HostName,Nothing
WshShell.RegWrite myKey&"\HostName","10.0.0.1","REG_SZ"
WshShell.RegWrite myKey&"\",IPAddress,Nothing
WshShell.RegWrite myKey&"\IPAddress",,"REG_SZ"
WshShell.RegWrite myKey&"\",HWAddress,Nothing
WshShell.RegWrite myKey&"\HWAddress",,"REG_SZ"
WshShell.RegWrite myKey&"\",PortMonMibPortIndex,Nothing
WshShell.RegWrite myKey&"\PortMonMibPortIndex",0,"REG_DWORD"
WshShell.RegWrite myKey&"\",PortNumber,Nothing
WshShell.RegWrite myKey&"\PortNumber",9100,"REG_DWORD"
WshShell.RegWrite myKey&"\","SNMP Community",Nothing

I've already gone rounds with the server room about setting up a print server and they are not being cooperative (I think they are just being lazy personally), so I've decided to try to do this myself. I do not have full domain admin privileges but I do have enough to do some damage (figuratively speaking.) If anyone has some pointers on what I can do to GO about setting up a print server without help from the server room, that would be helpful as well.

Like I said, I am brand new to VBScript, so please let me know of any blatent syntax errors or any obvious issues that should be addressed. The following is the error that I am getting


Line: 3
Char: 1
Error: Type Mismatch
Code: 800A000D
Source: Microsoft VBScript runtime error
I was able to solve this problem, it seems I MISREAD the usage portion of RegWrite, and I was using "\"s where I shouldn't and not using them where I should. In any CASE, the problem with this method came down to not having permissions to edit the registry this way. Which brings me to my problem. I am an administrator for the LAN within my building, however the parent office has the full administrative rights and responsibilities. They are quick to make sure I don't have any more rights than I absolutely need, but are rather slow when it comes to living up to their responsibilities. The reason I am GOING through all of this trouble with installing printers is that the parent office won't setup a print server for me, nor really help me out with much at all. I have one guy in there who I talk to regularly, and I mentioned to him about GPOs. He told me that if I built the GPO, he could make sure it did it's job on his end, but he wouldn't be able to help me out much more than that. So here is the goal, and possible solution.

Goal: To allow any user within the building the to be able to install any printer in the building.

Issues:
Some printer drivers require administrative priviledges when they are installed onto the system.
Not everyone is an administrator, nor should they be.
Not everyone is tech savvy, so the (almost) COMPLETE automation of the process is desired.

Proposed solution: If there is a way to either write a script that would automate the entire function by them double-clicking the script, that is my ultimate goal. I have been able to do this with some of the machines that are already installed in the .cab file for printer drivers. See below:

Code: [Select]echo off
cscript %windir%\system32\Printing_Admin_Scripts\en-US\prnport.vbs -a -s "%computername%" -r 10.2.0.1 -o raw -n 9100>nul
cscript %windir%\system32\Printing_Admin_Scripts\en-US\prnmngr.vbs -a -p "HP LJ 2025 211 LM" -m "HP Color Laserjet CP2020 Series PCL6" -r "10.2.0.1">nul
exit
But this coding does not work if the printer driver is not available in the .cab file.

So I either need help writing a different script for the printers not in the .cab file, or I need help building a GPO to put those printer drivers into the .cab file. Any help is welcome and appreciated.

Hi there Hope,

I'm a record collector and I need to get my collection insured. For many years I worked on cataloging it all and have them listed in two separate Excel sheets in the same file/workbook. I'm hoping to ENLIST your help with merging (or is it syncing, or consolidating? I don't know?) my LPs sheet and 7" SINGLES sheet into ONE master worksheet, preferably sorted by column header ARTIST, then YEAR.

The idea is that when I enter a newly purchased LP or 7" into its respective sheet by inserting a new row, it will automatically populate into the master, RATHER than me being required to remember to copy and paste it in. Likewise, were I to (for example) change the VALUE (listed in $$$ in a cell) of any given record in the LP or 7" SINGLES sheet, it would automatically change in the master.

I have spent 20+ hours (maybe a lot more, I don't know, have lost track), tried various methods and all have failed. The closest I got was using a MICROSOFT Help page:

http://www.rondebruin.nl/copy2.htm

I've tried using this, followed the instructions to the letter etc, all to no avail:
http://www.rondebruin.nl/code.htm


Here's the Microsoft page that I was directed to and think I got close to successfully completing the task!
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc793964.aspx

Now I'm turning to you for help! I hope you don't mind!

I'm not sure, but it may be relevant that some of the cells have a CATALOGUE # (and maybe even LABEL) that starts with a zero or other number-only combinations. In the document, the cell would not accept what I entered until I changed the cell format from General to Text. I have read in some areas that all cells must be formatted as "General" but I haven't tried this yet.

All column headers in both sheets are identical, and include a SUM function in the final two columns to keep track of COST and VALUE (ie a repurchase price) The SUM function can be removed if that is creating the problem (I have the total $$$ value being SUM'd at the end of all entries) but it would preferable to keep this.

I'm on Windows XP, using Microsoft Excel 2002

Please help!

Best regards,
SnapsDoes your version of Office have Access (database)?  If so, are you familiar with Access?  Achieving what you want would work quite well with Access. Just checked and yes, I do have Access. Sadly, I have NEVER used this program!

But, if you are convinced it will work best for what I need to do, I'm prepared to give it a go.
That is, as long as I am able to import all the data I have entered into my Excel worksheets (the entering of my record collection has taken 8-9 YEARS to complete!)

Thanks SoybeanYes, Access can import from Excel.  Your LPs sheet and 7" SINGLES sheet would each become a "table" in Access.  Then, you could create another table, Query, or Report.  The third table, or the Query or Report form would pull the data from the main two tables.  Therefore, any updating of the two main tables flows into the other table or the Query form or Report form.

Clearly, using Access will REQUIRE some time to get to know enough about it to use it for your record collection.  If you can get a book or video on Access from a library, that would be quite helpful.  Of course, many references can be found on the Internet, such as Creating a new Access database from an Excel spreadsheet.  My search phrase for finding this was import excel sheet into access, or specify the 2002 version and use import excel sheet into access 2002. 

Many books on Access can be found on Amazon.com.  I really don't know what book might be the best to recommend.  For as little as $4, you can get a used copy of Microsoft® Access Version 2002 Step by Step (Step by Step (Microsoft)) [Paperback].  Buyers reviews posted on Amazon.com are mixed.  Another book that can be purchased at very low cost by choosing a used one is Teach Yourself Visually Access 2002 [Illustrated] [Paperback].  Buying more than one book can be a good approach, since the strengths in one may offset the weaknesses in another.

By the way, I hope you have all your record collection data backed up on a medium other than your hard drive.  If not and your hard drive failed, I'm sure you'd be very distressed.  Quote from: soybean on November 06, 2011, 09:45:35 AM

Hi,

is there a way to write a simple website/program/app/i dont know that will allow me to click a next BUTTON and view the next file in a folder?

i have hundreds of pdf's i have to view and opening with adobe reader, closing and reopening the next file takes forever.  Im not a coder, but maybe a simple database with path names and an aspx page with frames? i dont know. 

i apologize for my sparratic typing, it has been a long day and my brain is fried.I've been using Foxit Reader on my Windows 7 system.  Foxit is a tabbed reader, meaning it can open multiple PDF documents at the same time.  I just selected 4 PDFs in Windows Explorer, right clicked and selected Open, and all 4 documents OPENED in Foxit Reader.  I'm not aware of Adobe Reader being a tabbed PDF reader, but I'm not sure about this.  If it is, then you should be able to use the same technique.  This still does achieve what you want but it's a GOOD bit better than having to open 1 file at a time. Thanks for the quick response.  I have tried foxit reader before, and it is not bad, but not what I'm looking for.  Where I work, we create WEBSITES that pull from a microsoft access database and display the data via aspx pages.  Unfortunately our original coder is gone so there is no one left to help me.  In one of the aspx pages, there is a frame that has a "next" and "previous" button which very quickly flips between pdfs that are linked in the database.  I can recognize coding to some extent, but our files are very in depth and have many, many more features built in, making it hard to decypher what CODE controls this function.  Also, it is setup to pull from lists housed on a server in SharePoint, and I would like this to be a site that can independently run through IIS localhost on my computer.

Hey folks,

Here's the squeeze... I need to run a js validate function in my html file.  Then after successful validation it should use the form action to access my php file.  I can run this fine without the JS function but when I put a function in it stops working.  I've put the script below with the php code also.  If someone could have a look and get back to me that would be ace.  Thanks in advance for taking the TIME to look at this and hope to hear from someone soon.

There is a "web design" forum.

Anyway, you still don't appear to be doing what Rob suggested, as in giving the field an ID and use document.getElememtById() to get its value. Also, we can't see the PHP file you're using so can't really help.

Instead of

Code: [Select]<input type ="submit" value="Submit This" onclick="validate()">
use

Code: [Select]<input type="submit" value="Submit This" onclick="validate(); return false;" />
Watch out for spurious spaces in the middle of your HTML attribute declarations (type ="submit").

My objective to is CREATE a phone book that will receive a name, category, phone number, and address from the user. after the user enters their info, I would like their data to be saved. My code compiles, but i am having problems with some parts of my program. my find, report, and test functions do not work. The find function is suppose to search for a name in the phone book. for example, the user can enter in info for 3 people, and wants to find the info for one of the people entered by the user. the report function is to display all of the people entered into the phone book. the test function is supposed to generate 10 random people, that have a random name, category, phone number, and address, and display them on the screen.  Also, my add function does not seem to work properly either. It just does not seem to be saving any new people the user adds to the phone book. I will include all of my files. There will be 9 files altogether.

TDI assume that there are probably scripts on this site that you do not have access to.Hi,
First of all, Thank You for taking the time to reply. MUCH appreciated. :-)

So basically, are you saying it cant be done?
If its not possible to recreate that serach field on my webpage, then I have no qualms with providing a link to the other site, but I need my 'customers' to return back to my page after they have used the feature.
Is there any workable solution for this?
Sorry for all the noob questions.

TIA

TD.
You could embed that in your site USING an iframe like so:

Code: [Select]<iframe src="http://www.unlockbase.com/widget/htc.php"
width="40%" height="180"
align="left">
</iframe>

More info on IFRAMES here: http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/html/iframe.htmlAlternatively on your website, you'd need a script (PHP perhaps) to accept the input from your user, transmit that query to the REMOTE website (using cURL), parse the result and display it on your own website.

Unless you own both websites, this would be considered poor etiquette. Quote

Hi

For my website I need someone to build an "engine" for me.
The engine should:
1) take in a word document (input - uploaded by the user),
2) run a macro on the contents,
3) send the contents to an MS Excel spreadsheet,
4) run a macro on the spreadsheet, and finally
5) "print" specific cells in the spreadsheet as a pdf (output - downloaded by the user)

Can anyone point me to somewhere relevant?

Kind regards, Kristobal, DenmarkI'm wondering why you want to do this.  It SEEMS like an odd idea since Word normally contains text content and Execl normally contains numeric data.  Can you give an example of such a FILE conversion and why someone might request such a conversion?   

The content of Word files could, of course, widely vary from one user to another.  How do you envision this working at the initial request phase?  Would you specify that the Word document must have a certain layout? A person can USE different types of PDF converter software to convert the file from Portable Document Format into Excel sheet. These tools help you to convert the documents from one format to another. An advanced tool is the one that RETAINS the original formatting during the process of conversion.

I am having trouble understanding why a prefix is USED and not used in these coding. The first code will be for a non member function, and the next will be for the member function. There is a prefix that is used in the Member Function code, but not in the NonMember Function code. The prefix that is used in the Member Function code is "Bank_Acct::" This is found in the header of the operator<< function. But this header of the operator<< function in the NonMember Function is not used. I'm trying to figure out why, but I can't seem to figure it out. Also, in the NonMember Function, I am having trouble figuring out the purpose of the Print function.

NonMember Function
Code: [Select]#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

const int SIZE = 10;

class Bank_Acct
{
public:
Bank_Acct( );  //default constructor
Bank_Acct(double new_balance, string Cname); //explicit value
                                             //constructor
void Print(ostream & out); //accessor function

private:
double balance;
string name;
};

Bank_Acct::Bank_Acct()
{
balance = 0;
name = "NONAME";
}

Bank_Acct::Bank_Acct(double amount, string Cname)
{
balance = amount;
name = Cname;

}

void Bank_Acct::Print(ostream & output)
{
output<<endl<<"Object "<<name;
output<<endl<<"The new balance is "<<balance<<endl;
}





ostream & operator<<(ostream & output, Bank_Acct & Org)
{
Org.Print(output);
return output;
}




int main()
{
Bank_Acct my_Acct;

Bank_Acct DrB(2000.87, "Dr. Bullard");

//the following statement contains chaining
cout<<DrB<<endl<<my_Acct<<endl;

return 0;
}

Member Function
Code: [Select]#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

const int SIZE = 10;

class Bank_Acct
{
public:
Bank_Acct( );  //default constructor
Bank_Acct(double new_balance, string Cname); //explicit value    
                                             //constructor
void Print( ); //accessor function
Bank_Acct & operator+(double amount); //mutator function

private:
double balance;
string name;
};



Bank_Acct::Bank_Acct()
{
balance = 0;
name = "NoName";
}

Bank_Acct::Bank_Acct(double amount, string Cname)
{
balance = amount;
name = Cname;

}

void Bank_Acct::Print()
{
cout<<endl<<"Object "<<name;
cout<<endl<<"The new balance is "<<balance<<endl;
}

Bank_Acct & Bank_Acct::operator+(double amount)
{
balance += amount;
return *this;
}

int main()
{
Bank_Acct my_Acct;

cout.setf(ios::showpoint);
cout.setf(ios::fixed);
cout.precision(2);

cout<<"Original balance of my_Acct"<<endl;
my_Acct.Print( );

//the following statement contains chaining
my_Acct + 18.75 + 14.35 + 10054.96;

cout<<"The balance of my_Acct after addition to balance 3 times"<<endl;
my_Acct.Print();

return 0;
}


Sorry I can't help you. What compiler are you using?
Also, your use of WHITE space is confusing.it's nothing along the lines of compiler issues. its just a question. the question is howcome in the member function, there is the "Bank_Acct::" prefixed in front of the header of the operator<< function, but there is none is non-member function?

Hi!
Can someone help me with this example? I KNOW it's quite easy, but I can't find right result. (i'm BEGINNER)
I'll be glad.

I need a program which'll write this:

for N=3

*
**
***
**
*

for n=2

*
**
*

I have found result for the first half:
def pyramid(n):
    result=""
    for X in range(n):
        result=result + "*"
        print(result)

I don't know how to continue, can somebody help?:-)try this:

def pyramid(n):
        for i in range(n):
                row = '*'*(i+1)
                print row
        row = 0
        while i >= 0:
                row = '*'*(i)
                print row
                i -= 1

What are the differences between these two?

From what I gathered from the documentation on both of these ADTs, HashTables map values to keys and HashMaps are a hash implementation of Maps, which also map values to keys.

What are the primary differences in implementation? When would you use each one and why?

I did a bit of Googling on the topic and the only thing I managed to find was that HashTables are synchronized whereas HashMaps are not. I'm not entirely sure what this means.

This question is specifically about the Java implementations of these structures, but I'm open to insight from the perspective of any other language if the basic ideas are the same.Any discussion of Hash on this forum results in endless arguments. Here r is some very relevant background.

Plot
It seems that Mickey is upset over the fact that his parents spend every Monday night arguing. The reason: Mickey's mom invariably serves hash made from the Sunday-dinner leftovers, and Mickey's dad hates hash. To teach the two adults a lesson, the Our Gang kids stage a skit on a local radio program, ending with a HEARTFELT plea by Mickey to stop the quarrelling.

Hi, I'm using visual BASIC with .net framework 4, and I made a program that gets the strings from a table in a database and shows them in a listbox, the listbox shows the elements correctly, but when i try to set a variable with the index string (Label1.Text = listbox1.selecteditem() ) I get System.Data.DataRow or something like that, i want to get the string. Can someone help me?
Thank you.listbox1.selecteditem().ToString()

Description
Lippelli Warehouses requires an electrical system for measuring their operational workers whilst they are on the job.
The system is to monitor some specific attributes of each worker and directly use that information to grade the worker in relation to another worker.

Requirements
The system must accept from the user: the quantity produced by the worker, class of work of the worker, the mode of grading scheme to be used and display a Quality Level grade for that worker. It should perform this operation every six (6) seconds and needs to store the information for the last worker in order to get its results.

Inputs from each worker
For each worker the system requires three (3) forms of inputs which becomes that worker's attributes. They include: -

1.Product Quantity (Decimal Integer represented in Binary)
This numeric value represents the amount of units of the products that the worker has produced at the time system INPUT. It is measured in pounds (lbs) and can range from 0 to 25 inclusive.

2.Class of Work (Decimal Integer represented in Binary)
This numeric value represents the class of work that the worker produces. 1 are Technical workers, 2 are Digital workers, 3 are Mechanical workers, 4 are Middleware workers and 5 are Electrical workers.

3.Quality of Work (Letter Value represented in Binary of the previous worker)
This symbol represents the quality of work that the current worker is known for. The values are: A (Best quality), B (Par quality) and C (Poor quality).

OUTPUTS of the system
The system will display an output that will represent the current quality level of a worker based on their attributes as well as the attributes of their peers.
The three different values of the output will represent: -

1.Best Quality (A) – which means that the workers are producing the highest quality products

2.Par Quality (B) – which means that the workers are producing at the global standard level

3.Poor Quality (C) - which means that the workers are producing below Par Quality

Timing Process
The system is to ensure that it checks the current worker's attributes against the last worker's attributes every 6 seconds in order to produce the quality level of the current worker. There must be no other way of producing these results based on the input apart from the six (6) seconds to ensure that the process is periodical and efficient.
At every six second interval the system is to perform one of the three grading schemes listed below based on the inputs and the criteria available to it.

Modes of Grading Schemes
There are three (3) major kinds of grading schemes used by the required system on the inputs/attributes of the workers to make the correct display of Best (A), Par (B) or Poor (C) Quality for the current worker.
In order for the system to grade the current worker it also requires the attributes for the last worker to be processed by the system (i.e. the system must have some way of storing the current worker's attributes to be compared against the next worker).
The first worker to be processed by the system always gets a grade of Par Quality (B) because there is no worker to compare them to.
The following explains how the three (3) different modes of grading schemes work:

1.Class Grading Scheme. This grading scheme focuses of the different classes of the current and previous workers. It uses the following table to determine the grade of the current worker:

Current Worker   Previous Worker                                             Grade

Technical      Technical, Digital, Mechanical, Middleware                         B
Technical      Electrical                     A
Digital      Technical, Digital, Mechanical, Middleware, Electrical                                   A
Mechanical         Technical                                               C
Mechanical   Digital                                                                                      B
Mechanical   Mechanical, Middlewarem Electrical            A
Middleware   Mechanical, Electrical                  A
Middleware   Technical, Middleware               B
Middleware   Digital                     C
Electrical      Electrical, Digital, Mechanical, Middleware                         B
Electrical      Technical                                  A

2.Quality Grading Scheme. This grading scheme focuses on the quality given to the last/previous worker in relation to the current worker. If the previous worker has a Quality Level of Best (A) then the current worker gets a Quality Level of Best (A) if their quantity is greater than 10 lbs. If the previous worker has a Quality Level of Par (B) then the current worker gets a Quality Level of Best (A) if their quantity falls within the range of 5 to 20 inclusive. For all other cases the current worker gets a Quality Level of Poor (C).

3.Quantity Grading Scheme. This grading scheme focuses directly on the amount of production of the current and previous workers. The current worker gets a Quality Level of Best (A) if they produce more lbs than the previous worker; Par (B) if they produce the same amount of lbs as the previous worker and Poor (C) if they produce an amount below the previous worker's.

Deliverables
*Breakdown of the problem(showing how the problem was modularized in to smaller sections)
*SOLUTION of each smaller section in relation to: -
*Truth Table
*Simplification using Boolean Algebra or Karnaugh Maps; or both
*Circuit Design based on simplification
*Solution of the entire problem in the form of working Electronics Workbench file(s)
I really am desparate for help with this project.How many units do hyou need? What is the budget? Deadline?units don't matter but the simplier the better and the deadline is tuesdayDo you have a recommended download for an Electronics Workbench  program? I have not done that stuf in years. Is this a school project?

EDIT: Looking that over, it is too hard to do with traditional logic gates in a short time fram. For me, anyway. Too much abstraction.

You could write a simulation in your favorite computer language. Vatious versions of Microsft Basic can do Boolean operations very well. But making a diagram of conventional small-scale logic gates is a strain on the brain. Sorry, That would tke me over a week to diagram.

The best hyou can do is to divide the whoe thing up into three or four abstarct modules. The refine easch module. And repeat untill it all makes sense.yes i do have one and yes it is a school project.....thnx for TRYING thoughHere are some files i managed to create from wat i understand of my project. I have until 6:45 the latest to had this project...i need urgent help please.....

Hello,
I am writing a BATCH file which opens a python file which returns certain text cues. I would LIKE to have my batch file then (depending on the text returned) continue OPERATING or exit. How do I PROGRAM the batch file to search the cmd window for these text cues?You would basically need to write the output of the python program to a text file and then have the batch file PARSE the text file.Or use the FOR batch command to run the python script and capture the output line by line. Your use of "text cues" is not very informative. What exactly are you looking for?

This may be a stupid question (and hopefully it's in the right section, since I associate make and compiling primarily with PROGRAMMING), but does anyone know what would be the best WAY to optimize the make process using "make -j #"?
Right now, I'm using "make -j 2 INSTALL clean" to compile ports on FreeBSD 9.0 RC2 with an AMD Athlon II X2 250  (3.0 GHz) processor, if that helps...

Hey Guys,

I have a VB app that has a SECONDARY toolbar with a few buttons, i can easily hide the toolbar using .VISIBLE = false but my TAB panel stays in the same location.

i tried using this on a CLICK event on a certain tab and resizing tab panel and MOVING but it does it for every click ie

if tabpage.selected = true then
tabpanel.height += 30
tabpanel.location.x -= 30

else
tabpanel.height -= 30
tabpanel.location.x += 30

end if

so that works if i click on the tab and click off, but if i click on another tab first it obviously decreases the size.

im thinking i should use something to catch an unselect event of the specific tab to reduce the size and that way it only does it when supposed to, any ideas?

Hey, I was wondering how, or even if, you can make a subkey in the HKCR registry section with a batch FILE.
I've tested a LOT of codes and have failed at them all, so I came here.

This does not work:
echo off
REG ADD "HKCR\batfile\shell\New Key" /F
exit

If I was trying to create the New Key in the CODE above, it wouldn't work.
I'm using Windows Xp OS with 20GB hard drive on PORT "E:\" with 3GB used up.
I don't want to create a seperate .reg file either.
Thanks for your help.                                                                  -NathansswellEDIT: The code above did work, I just needed to logoff to make it work. My new problem is that I need to find out how to edit the (Default) Value in the subkey with a batfile. Please help...

hi all, first of all im just a beginner programmer,

and sorry for my broken english and fail grammar,

as i state at my title, i wonder if there any command or line for bat format for,

1] auto capture (screenshots) and save it as jpeg format,

and

2] autp capture (our webcam) and save it as jpeg format?

thanks in advance, really hope for ur reply. =)Maybe I can help.
Use a PROGRAM already written.
It saves screen shots as a movie.
You can adjust the frame rate.
You can convert file to other formats later.
But it is not a batch program.

OK
Yes, there are programs that work in DOS.
Some of this are automatic.
They make full-screen capture in DOS.
http://www.screencapture.com/answers.htm

You could write your own CLI program to capture the screen and web cam. I have written a short tutorial on how to capture screen with Delphi codes. Unfortunately atm I have problem with my internet connection. I can not reach the page. Maybe later, if you are interested.

If you're looking for a really simple command line app to capture a single snapshot from a webcam in Windows, you might be interested in the following post on my blog:

http://batchloaf.wordpress.com/2011/04/06/snapz-a-command-line-cam-image-grabber/

I couldn't find an app to snap webcam images in a batch file, so I wrote this myself. It's very basic - just run it and it snaps a 640x480 image from the default camera device and saves it in the current directory. It should be perfect for including in a batch file. It's free to download and the full source code is included in my blog post. If you really need to capture an image at a different resolution, the program would need to be recompiled to do that (it's compiled using MinGW - a free gcc compiler for Windows).

Hope that helps you with your problem!

Hey guys, I was wondering, would it be an OK beginner project to try and make a little 3 question quiz out of C++. I'm moving up from Batch/crap-tons of markup and web scripting languages (HTML, JAVASCRIPT, PHP, VBScript, CSS, mySQL) and I was just wondering if that would be a good first program? Other than hello world of course :3.quiz would be an ok way of getting better with if & else statements but considering that you have already had experience with other languages im betting you already have that mastered, the only thing you'll learn by doing a quiz is more syntax.

If you WANT to learn more about c++ work with functions, pointers and classes.

a fun project could be a sentence encryptor, try the following and LET me know if you get stuck:

create a program to encrypt a sentence including spaces. example

enter message:
hello world

enter number key:
1

your encrypted message:
ifmmp!xpsme

so this would get a string and change value based on a variable, you can take it further by decrypting.

this is a basic encryption but doing this project will GIVE you a pretty good basis for c++

Hi all,

I have been collecting CNN news for months.
What I always do is that:
I go to CNN web site, press the WORLD button and copy the news below the "Top World Stories".
Those news are pasted and saved in a EXCEL file.
But sometimes, I got some other work to do and I did not have time to copy the news and PASTE in the EXCEL file.
I am thinking to write a simple PROGRAM that can go to the CNN web site and copy those news for me everytime when launched the program, but I have no idea which programming software is the best.
Microsoft VB.net , Eclipse or NetBeans?
Or could you suggest another tool for me please?

Thank you.

KittyI would use a combination of the cURL libraries and regular expression parsing.  Specifically, I'd use a PHP script to retrieve the CNN page (using cURL) and then parse it (using regular expression pattern MATCHING).  PHP can output into CSV, so that would do for Excel, unless you needed fancy formatting.  If you want to copy images and such like, you're going to find this to be a tough job in almost any programming language.

I WONDER if an RSS feed from CNN might SUIT your needs better?

Here's the IDEA....

Given an input string containing XML data, without any indentation, output a string of XML with proper indentation.

Example:

Input string:
Code: [Select]<collection><book id="1"><title>Charlie and the Chocolate Factory</title></book><book id="2"><title>C, How to Program</title</book></collection>
Output string:
Code: [Select]<collection>
    <book id="1">
        <title>Charlie and the Chocolate Factory</title>
    </book>
    <book id="2">
        <title>C, How to Program</title
    </book>
</collection>

I've never tried to tackle ANYTHING like this before, so any help is appreciated. I just need a starting point. Think about how you WOULD do it by hand and mimic that process in your code. Start with an indent of zero and add to it every time you encounter an opening tag and subtract every time you encounter a closing one.

Ya, that's what I have kind of started to do. Thanks for the reply  I'm not that good with xml myself but i can get by using an xml editor, try using Liquid XML Editor as it has syntax highlighting, auto code COMPLETION, xml validation ETC etc

So I need a script to disable the shutdown button on my laptop. Well I know it's possible to do in .vbs but I GOT no idea how to start. Just some start help would be MUCH obliged. Why don't you just disable it in Power Options? Why do you want to do this? Are you SURE it's your laptop you want to do this on?

How would I be uncertain of it being my laptop or not?
Anyways I tried to check in power options before posting.
Just to be sure that we are on the same page the button I am talking about is the physical one on the exterior of the laptop.
My problem being I don't know what input the button gives or how to block it.In Windows there is an option in Power Options - "What to do when power button is pressed" -

Do Nothing
Sleep
Hibernate
Shut Down

       you have SYNTAX errors everywhere, fix them up

also your program seems fairly simple so just use full head

#include
using namespace std;

instead of

using std::cout;
using std::cin;
using namespace std;
Dont really get the program but here's a WORKING version of the CODE Code: [Select]#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int money;
#define cents_per_dollar   100
#define pennies_per_dollar 100
#define nickels_per_dollar  20
#define dimes_per_dollar    10
#define quarters_per_dollar  4

trying to get this to print the environment variable "PATH"
 
here is what is in the freebasic compiler
 
#include "crt/stdlib.bi"
Sub main()
 Print getenv("PATH")
End Sub
main()
 
i have also tried to change getenv to environ (i found a few posts for this. fbwiki).
 
tried this as well:
print *getenv("PATH")
 
what am i doing wrong?Both these work fine for me (FreeBASIC version 0.22.0 for win32)

Code: [Select]#include "crt/stdlib.bi"
Sub main()
 Print environ("PATH")
End Sub
main()

Code: [Select]#include "crt/stdlib.bi"
Print *getenv("PATH")
 



maybe something is not configure quite right then as i did the following:
#include "crt/stdlib.bi"
Sub main()
 Print environ("PATH")
End Sub
main()
 
when i run the program, nothing but a blank lf/cf is returned..
 
i checked the freebasic folder and the crt is found under ..\FreeBASIC\inc\crt and i verified that the stdlib.bi exists there and in the ..\inc\crt\win32 folder as well.
 
is it possible that it is not including the .bi file? is there a way to test that it is loading properly?
 
thanks

I just changed getenv to environ and it worked fine.

4. Are you actually looking at the compiler output?

I keep wondering why the OP doesn't just use a cmd script ("batch file") to do the things that he wants, and he never answers. This makes me wonder if he is trying to do some kind of script-kiddie thing. Since he steadfastly refuses to tell us, the help he is going to get will not be focused.

not to hide, but the source file is getting a bit large so as a way of making it run faster.

is it the fact that my routine is so simple that you can't wrap your head around it

i dont' know how much clearer than to post my code to make you happy    (i did post the routine that is not working). Im not a scriptkiddie nor a kid at all, im a director of a marketing firm and have a need to take my batch files (that run on an sql server) and make them faster (and now with more capabilities, having moved to freebasic.)
 
i have been doing things in the batch file with no issue's but wanted to make things faster, so am i allowed by you    to move my batch file into a higher level language? is there some tribunal    that i need to attend prior to getting help from you??? is it the fact that my routine is so simple that you can't wrap your head around it and wonder if i have an ulterior motive???    Did I not tip at the gate the proper amount??? Should I move to another forum to get help??? Who's in charge, I want to talk to the management about this!!! Outrageous! Preposterous! Bullocks!!! 

The Environment Block of a process is a copy of the environment block of the parent process, or a new, default Environment Block (depending how you spawn the child process).

Hello all, and a first poster here.  I'll be upfront and say I haven't really messed with batch files since editing Autoexec.bat in the 90s. 

Yes, the project I'm working on is technically "for work" but its to make my own life easier, more so than being for anyone's profit.  I'm a man of many hats, so I should be out pulling wire today, but I really need to make some progress on my little project so I'm ready for next week.

Anyway, there's my intro, here's what I'm trying to accomplish:

list.csv contains about 120 lines.   Column A is a text string defining a location.  Column B is an IP address.

What I'm looking for as an end result is to create two files.

1.   filename.bat that has the string:  "tst10.exe /r:filename.txt /o:bench.txt"  Where filename of both the .bat and the .txt are generated from Column A.

2.   filename.txt that has a unique IP string inside that's generated from column B.


Filename.txt will contain the following:

CODE: [Select]192.168.1.2 20000
WAIT "username:"
SEND "name\m"
WAIT "password:"
SEND "pass\m"
WAIT ":"
SEND "command\m"

Where the filename is created from CSV column A, and the IP inside the file is generated from Column B.  Everything else is static and will be the same throughout.

What I have so far:

Code: [Select]SET filename=
For /F "delims=, tokens=2" %%G IN (list.txt) DO SET filename=%%G
echo %filename% > "%filename%.bat"

This outputs Column A of each line on the screen, and only saves a .bat of the last entry of the CSV.

Obviously, I'm missing alot, and scripting is not my forte.

Any help is GREATLY appreciated.  I'm a bit out of my depth on this one, and don't want to have to do all 120ish connections long-form/by hand or try to entrust someone else to do the remote connections and risk breaking anything.Have you come across PowerShell?  Much more powerful string parsing capabilities.Hadn't even heard of it, but after looking at the wikipedia page for it, I think I might look into it more in depth.Am I undestanding you correctly that you want a batch file that creates another batch file as well as a text file?

I am not really following your logic but if you could post a few lines of the list.txt file and show me the intended output I am sure we could figure it out. Quote from: ShaneC on December 21, 2011, 02:33:26 PM

%%G is column A, and %%H is Column B....but why?  What defines it?

NetBeans seems to use a DNS cache separate from the O/S.  When developing web sites with my laptop in different locations, it would be really handy if I could get this cache flushed (one LAN IP address when at work, one EXTERNAL IP address from a local DNS server when at home).  Windows' own resolver has no problem with this CONCEPT and I can always run ipconfig /flushdns if needs be.  But NetBeans is still looking in the wrong place.

Does anyone know if there's any simple, non-programmatic way of flushing this cache?Just as an aside, when I tried again an hour or so later (in the new location), the DNS lookup was resolved afresh (correctly) so I presume the cached entry had HIT its TTL.  It's a nuisance!I found this:
http://www.rgagnon.com/javadetails/java-0445.html

Since NetBeans is written in Java (as far as I recall) it would be susceptible to this "feature" where the JVM has it's own cache of network addresses, which sounds like it could be the cause of your issue.Indeed, that's my understanding.  I'm not really up to the challenge of hacking the NetBeans code and recompiling to fix this "feature"...  I'm betting there is a way of flushing this cache - but is it private PER application though?  That seems inefficient, but who knows.Hang on - reading that article more closely, there's a suggestion a JRE setting might fix it.  I'll try that.  Thanks!

Just a quick tip: If you are trying to access a MySQL Server remotely (from another machine, say- for example, using the .NET DBConnector on a desktop while using a existing MySQL Install on the laptop) consider the fact that MySQL ships by default so that it doesn't allow remote connections.

Basically, I had everything setup and coded, but I couldn't get it to log on to the database. Finding out how to make MySQL accessible remotely wasn't easy either, I kept finding stuff that  told me to edit logs that didn't exist.

For the record, if you want to make a MySQL Server accessible remotely on Ubuntu or a derivative thereof (in my case, mint) Edit  the file (as root) /etc/mysql/my.cnf, and within the file look for and comment out the line

Code: [Select]bind-address = 127.0.0.1
comments being Hashmarks (#) at the start, btw.

In total I spent about 12 hours total (it's coming up on 6PM, I've been up since... 5AM working on this) converting my .NET database layer from using Access databases to using MySQL. 10 minutes to actually make the required code changes and configuration changes to it''s INI file, about an hour thinking my code was broken, giving up on munging around with it, trying to figure out why MySQL wasn't showing up in a netstat as listening on port 3306, learning through google that it doesn't by default allow remote connections, googling to figure out how to make it accept remote connections, trying to follow tutorials for ancient versions of red hat that try to get me to open files either without giving me a folder- "open your my.cnf file" they say, yes, I would have done that if I knew where it was..., finally finding one that was more modern but still decided that I only needed a filename to find the log file, searching the drive for the file (my.cnf) in question, finding about a half dozen, learning through more googles that there is a special precedence to the my.cnf files and if I edit the wrong one it won't do anything, learning about said precedence Finally making the change, stumbling while trying to restart mysql because I wasn't doing it as root, GOING back to my desktop and my application and trying to undo all the changes I made when I thought the code was wrong, and finally getting it working.

I swear when I was Stepping over the code in the debugger and I got to the line where it establishes the connection (an otherwise innocent looking "CacheCon.Open()" call) the 8 or so seconds it took to establish the connection and succeed felt like an eternity of waiting for what I felt was an inevitable error leading to another sidetrack to googleville. I thought I was dreaming as that line not only worked flawlessly but all my other code and SQL statements didn't throw errors and seemed to do exactly what they were intended to do.

So that's been my day, anyway.Yup, been burnt by this one myself!I have to admit it was fulfilling to watch all my otherwise untested code work perfectly fine and do exactly what I wanted it to. Well, OK, that's a lie, I did have to change a query referring to a field I named "Order" to be in backticks since ORDER is a SQL reserved word.

This "project" really is a bunch of firsts. First actual paid Job in this field, first go at a "real" WPF application, first time using databases from .NET, and first time accessing a remote database in a "distributed" idea (admin and client app on separate machines seeing each others changes) first time using MySQL outside PHP, first time dealing with my own MySQL installation (rather than on a webhost), first time dealing with the UI concern that a touchscreen (and no keyboard) brings to the table. And so on. First time writing a serious "Tiered" application (Client (touchscreen) and Admin applet both use the same DataLayer library which abstracts away most database related tasks), etc. A project of firsts. I've learned more about the involved technologies(WPF, MySQL, MySQL Server administration and ADO.NET)  than I probably would have learned "at my leisure" in the next year. Feels good to work on something for hours on end, learning new technologies, and having something that (IMO) looks pretty damned professional. On an unrelated note I've had to use my laptop for a lot more of the network facing stuff, so I've had to use FTP to upload things to my site for the last week or so, to the point where It's second nature (and I've memorized the randomly generated password for my webhost), Control-Alt-Arrow to switch between desktops for checking E-Mail and so forth, running MYSQLDUMP to get a overview of my database schema to refer to while working on new functionality in the desktop apps, etc.Are you developing in VISUAL Studio?  Can that not handle all the FTP uploads for you? Quote from: Rob Pomeroy on December 19, 2011, 02:44:50 AM

consider the fact that MySQL ships by default so that it doesn't allow remote connections.

even after I knew that was the default setup, I had to do so much googling just to find out how to change it, and it was a bit frustrating.

Hello everyone,
i´m building a FLIGHT simulator, and WANTED for the computer to open programs automatically and seguentially, when the computer starts. I´ve created a file that OPENS the programs, but all at once.
I need to open FSX.exe FIRST, wait for it to load, then open the Simkits software, and then the Instructor software.
So, is there a command where I would open FSX and wait 1 minute for it to load, and open the second file, and so on?

I saw in a website this comand, but cant seem to get it to work .

for /L %%I in (1,1,60) do start "C:\Arquivos de Programa\Mozilla Firefox" firefox.exe

Thank you in advanceI have seen ways to do this in other than batch like C++, but in batch the problem you are probably facing is that until firefox closes does it step to launch the next application right?You COULD use the ping command and set the time it takes for it to load:

ping 1.1.1.1 -n 1 -w 10000 >nul

10000=10 seconds

Good luck, hope it works.would this work as well?
 
ping localhost -n 60 > nul
 
that should do it in one minute increments, create a loop do to more than onceThis thread died in July 2011.

I've DONE very LITTLE with batch files, but I need to check several thousand directories to see whether or not they're populated. My FINAL outcome will be a list of directories that are empty. The folder structure looks like this:
M:\Drafting\DWGS\70-000\70-038\Images

I need to check every "Images" folder below the DWGS folder.

I'm using XP PRO.

Thanks for any help.I think this should work
Code: [Select]PUSHD M:\Drafting\DWGS\
for /f "tokens=*" %%I in ('dir /ad /b /s *images') do (
if EXIST "%%I\nul" if not exist "%%I\*" echo %%I is empty

i am MAKING an OS (DakOS) and i am having some problems, 1.When i compile the file (i am making an os that will only use the boot LOADER) it YELLS at me that there isn`t any room when i convert the floppy disk to an ISO . 2.It recognizes it but it says "Invalid system disk"  how might i fix this (also it is 512 Bytes)
Commands in linux: mkisofs -o dakos.iso -b dakos.flp cdiso/ (Problem 1)
it is written in Intel x86 ASM (test machine has an Intel PENTIUM 2 processor)
Help plz

Is it possible to do networking with server in batch? And also, imagine a PROGRAM that allows you to load and move ASCII images for cmd line languages and text based programs. Also, for making text based games, and perhaps later games with minor graphics (like, minecraft low graphics) should I use C++, TorqueScript, Java, or make my own language if so possible?Well, now that you bring Minecraft up, I do think that Bukkit servers run using conhost.exe and cmd.exe from a batch file. So to your first question YES? Quote from: Nathansswell on November 28, 2011, 02:35:19 AM

So Im trying to learn platform GAMING for fun, cs5 flash AS.3

Followed TUT. Was at it for hours, quit came back next day realized i had missed alot of the tut instructions, can't understand how I could miss it even after reviewing the video 4-6 times. ANYWAY its a simple tutorial but im a simpler man. The ball is supposed to fall on the floor but It doesn't. Its probably something awkwardly simply but I've just started. Also I think I've copied on everything, but I taught so yesterday too...

I have a large amount of floppy disks that I used between 1988 and around 2000 when I finally got a CD Burner. I started manually copying them via xcopy all contents to my C: drive, but after getting through 25 disks in 1 box, I thought there has to be an easier method of passing my disks contents to C: drive.

So I started to write a program in C++ which I want it to create numeric directories on the C: drive at C:\Floppies\   and each time it is executed it first reads in a text file called lastfilename which holds a single integer of the last directory created and written to, so after I have copied disk #25 to the C:\Floppies\25\ it wrote the integer 25 to this text file. So the next time it runs it first loads in this value and increments it via ++ to the integer variable, so that it now creates a directory named 26 at C:\Floppies\26\ and then xcopy's the contents of A: to C:\Floppies\26\ via system("XCOPY A:\*.* c:\Floppies\26\*.* /y ");

Problem is that it does not like system("XCOPY A:\*.* c:\Floppies\26\*.* /y ");

Also I am having issues directly concatenating the 26 from the incremental variable into C:\Floppies\26\*.* /y, and C++ does not like directly passing the string variable into system(" ");

In the END I want to clean this up and have it basically say its running, copy all contents to C:\Floppies\ and then display COPY COMPLETE in the end and ask the user to insert another disk and enter 1 to run again or 0 to quit.

Any suggestions? I will post my code if needed.If you're going to execute system() calls, use a batch file. I've hardly ever seen a case where the main functionality of a so-called C/C++ program used system() and couldn't be made into a far more terse batch.

As to your issues: they are all based on not knowing enough about C/C++. Which probably explains why you would choose it for something like this.

Anyway, I tried to make a C/C++ app but apparently stream i/o won't let me input or output a char*, and I couldn't be bothered to figure out why.

So here's a C# program. haha.

                int sequenceval = SequenceValue(sequencefile);
                String execcmd = String.Format(commandformat, sequenceval);

I rather like the ChoiceInput() function, myself.

This would be a very short batch file, though, I just don't like messing with batch files.

EDIT: fixed line endings. That's what happens when you copy text files from windows to Linux...Thanks BC... will use your C# program. Should be able to compile it with Express 2008 or 2010 and run it. I have a book on C#, but haven't gotten into it yet other than making your own browser by typing code out of book and then modifying the appearance, but it looks more like a custom IE vs whole new browser.

I was thinking originally batch, but figured C++ or another language (such as C# as you posted) would be better at reading/writing from file and incrementing the folder name 1,2,3,4,5 and so on. And then pick up with 7,8,9,10 on future executions from the original executed location to avoid data merging or overwriting.

Now to compile and try your program out as well as check out your source code in detail. Might have some questions about it since I am new to C#. Many thanks and HAPPY New Year!

I have had the idea to make a "Chat Autofixer" for XSketch.com, and in order to do this, I basically flood the chat with a message consisting of [ ]. I want to make it distributable, for my XSketch friends, and source-viewable. I'd like to do this using VBScript. Unfortunately, the server running XSketch is using GWT with a POST to send messages, and I don't know how to EXECUTE a POST in VBS. I only NEED to post a string, and I know what URL to post to. Does anyone know the code required to perform such an action?

PS> This will also help in my VB.NET application coming soon that will use POST.Ugh.  I wouldn't use VBScript for this.  Any language that can use a cURL library is a better bet.  But if you're determined, you might find some inspiration here: http://www.motobit.com/tips/detpg_post-binary-data-url/ Code: [Select]'URL to OPEN....
sUrl = "http://www.example.com/page.php"
'POST Request to send.
sRequest = "varname=value&varname=value"

HTTPPost sUrl, sRequest

Function HTTPPost(sUrl, sRequest)
  set oHTTP = CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")
  oHTTP.open "POST", sUrl,false
  oHTTP.setRequestHeader "Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
  oHTTP.setRequestHeader "Content-Length", Len(sRequest)
  oHTTP.send sRequest
  HTTPPost = oHTTP.responseText
 End Function
Thanks to everyone for your helpfulness. I am now able to do what I was DESIRING to do in the first place. I officially declare this topic solved!

How can i write a timer code like the 1 in Visual Basic
Timer code must be in c++
at the moment i am trying to BUILD a game where i am using a timer for running actions
1.This timer code cannot interupts other code proceedue
2.Logical function and other process will be place inside this timer code

i try writting it but when that timer function is running... my other proceedure stops
I KNOW this is because the process stops and it can only be running again when timer code has finish processing
So how can i avoid having other proceedure stop runningUse a thread, not a timer. Of course you don't present any information on what your target platform is, which makes it a bit difficult to offer much more advice than that.

General advice:

1. Don't use a timer.
2. Don't use a timer.
3. And most importantly- don't use a timer.

A GameProc() routine should run as fast as it possibly can, on a separate thread. It will grab a critical section/mutex, update game state, move objects, etc.  Release the mutex/critical section. Each iteration it should post a message to the main thread (which, for most operating systems would be the one managing the UI) to tell it to repaint, Otherwise, the game loop is throttled by the delay the timer has, which for most systems is at least 53 or so milliseconds. The Paint Message HANDLER (or equivalent) would then deal with grabbing a critical section on the various game objects as needed and drawing with them. Depending on the way the gameproc() messes with the gamestate variables SOMETIMES you can shorten critical SECTIONS so that the painting thread can get a word in edgewise.Thanks for replying

My target platform is window PC
I dont know what you mean by use a thread but i will look it up
Thanks

I am interested in a CHARLES Petzold C# example that shows how to do a fisheye effect ( http://www.charlespetzold.com/blog/2009/05/Realizing-a-Fisheye-Effect-in-Silverlight.html ).  The XAML code samples are in WPF but I want to try this in Silverlight.

When I try to create the XAML code in Silverlight, the COMPILER complains in TWO locations:

you are getting 101...its because the random number generated is becoming 0 each time...its because you made it an int type...

to get the full random value....you should get it in double value....all the numbers are like 0.5677777777
or 0.06777777777....its always in decimal value...so to be able to get a value between 0 and 100....i have multiply the random value by 100...then i cast it to an int...so that the value obtained is not a decimal one...then i have checked it the way u wanted.

refer to this code for testing:
http://www.java2s.com/Code/Java/Swing-JFC/TreeeditLeafSample.htm


IM not ABLE to edit the value in the jtree even it said its editable is true....


i have looked on the net...every sample of script is the same...im not able to figure out how can i make it work...

i guess its something to do with repainting the panel or the tree...STILL havent got anything...

THANKS beforehand for any helpanyway...i resolve it with....

 tree.setInvokesStopCellEditing(true);

I've got a 64-bit PC (WINDOWS 7), but I must compile a C++ program for DOS.
What compiler do I need?

BTW:
I'm using CODE::Blocks.

Please I'm a beginer in C#, so if you just can give me a suggestion about how to SOLVE the following problem.

Vehicle manufacturers always offer new saving fuel cars to new DRIVERS. The Renault manufacturer has taken this in consideration and offered new car Renault Clio to a driver Syle LeSylani for one YEAR use. Syle has kept evidence of past kilometers at every fuel filling. He made at least 5 reservoirs filling per year.
 
My duty is to write the C# program that it will accept fuel data (type: double) and past kilometers (type: double) for every fuel filling. The program it needs to process those data in console application, how many kilometers are past in each filling. Also it needs to SHOW overall calculation of past kilometers for all fillings. The calculation must be presented in decimal (real numbers). The class and the program should be in two separate files. 


I have to wirte the pseudocode of this to.

In advance thank you for your reply.
Cheers.Pseudocode is not C#.  You're being asked to express this in simple statements.  It's homework by the looks of it, so your best advantage would come from having a go and then asking for comments.  There are plenty of examples of pseudocode on the internet which will give you a better idea of what you're trying to achieve.  Hint: it's simpler than it sounds.

The idea is that once you've written the pseudocode, converting that to C# (or any other language) is a breeze. ROB Pomeroy
I know that pseudocode isn't in C# but I just explained what I have to do.
About the program, I almost done it, but just asked for the help. It is a little to difficoult to me because I just started learning C#. I know that in the begining fuel and km's must be 0 because it is a new car. At least 5 fuel fillings per year mut be done.
The problem is that I'm stucked in a place where where it is asked to show how many km/one liter.
I get some errors and just fixing them.

Cheers.Where is what you have so far? Quote from: dr_iton on December 27, 2011, 11:03:59 AM
