I have JList filled with names and a JButton which when clicked deletes the selected item in the JList. The item is now longer in the array that fills the JList because the array is written out and the item is missing but the missing item is still on the screen. How do I GET the item to disappear from the screen?

Thank you COULD you paste the source code of what you have now, so that we may take a look?
Also, now this isn't for a HOMEWORK assignment now is it?/*

I NEED something to make a GUI program but that doesn't require any downloads on USER's computers and that can access files (modifying and displaying contents).

What I'm trying to acomplish is a program with 3 textboxes, a timer and 2 buttons (or command buttons). Each has it's own function, and I will explain in detail exactly what each does.

Textbox 2 and 3, and Button 2 are invisible.
Textbox 1: User input "username"
Button 1: Makes Textbox 1 and Button 1 invisible, and Textbox 2 and 3 and Button 2 visible.
Textbox 3: Locked (or programming language equivilent), multi-line with a scrollbar.
Textbox 2: User input "text"
Button 2: Appends "Textbox1.Text: TextBox2.Text" (or programming language equivilent) to I:\_Common\file.txt
Timer 1: Every second, clear the contents of TextBox 3 and display the current contents of I:\_Common\file.txt

What programming language can do this WITHOUT anything downloaded on the other computer (.NET for example)?I think all the current Microsoft Visual Studio stuff requires the dot NET. There has been a public statement the NET has security flaws, so you request is very reasonable.
It seems that Visual Basic 5 can create a stand-alone program for most or all of what you want. The program will be larger that need be if you ship it without the run time library. But the run time library is much larger that the program anyhow.
What I mean is the program might be about 4000 bytes, but requires a huger library. Or the program could be about 30,000 bytes and not need anything else.

VB6 you probably still can buy a copy of it on Ebay.

But .NET apps always require .NET framework.

I'm sorta looking for something that doesn't require payment (free versions are ok though, not demos please).


A while ago Dias was talking about FreeBasic and QBasic...do these require .NET and where can I get them if they don't?

is python a useful language?

of course.

Thought so, but where is it being used?

Thought so, but where is it being used?

Could anyone tell me how I could find out all about my memory within my motherboard and hard drive so that I can use the pointers I learned about in C++? Also, could you tell me, besides the ASCII values, what the other values in the memory addresses mean, especially how I can access graphics and sound? Thanks. You have some interesting observations.
ASCII is a definition. he value 20 in memory represent the ASCII char @ and 21 is the letter A. But they are not self-identified objects. I once had a student ask me how to you tell the difference between code and data. I did not quite know how to answer him. There are no built-in feature that do that, except by position. Having CODE in one part of memory and DATA in another part SEPARATES them only by position.

With C++ you should have a Development Environment that helps you visualize how things are done internally by the computer. But this does not mean you should lean all the POSSIBLE codes to improve your skills. A common ERROR for ome is to think that the literal form of a symbol is better that just using the symbol.
Consider this:
20
64
@
These can all be references to the same bye value in memory. Is it ASCII? Maybe, maybe not. Is it DATA? Yes, it is DATA. But is it Code? Again, that would depend on how and where it is being used.Many model tools, such as C++, requires us to MAKE a meaningful expression of an idea that will be correctly put into suitable binary codes.

The sequence 2021 could be a special form of the AND instruction. Maybe not. Perhaps it was MEANT to be the just @A but not the AND instruction.
I do hope this was of some help.

Over the course of it's development, my Expression evaluator has consistently had issues with it's "ParseArguments" routine, shown below. The idea is, given a string such as "X,14,Sin(12)*56/i,12", which has already been ripped out of a function call parameter list elsewhere in my code, to parse it and return a array of strings representing each argument. In this case, the return would be an array:

0= "X"
1= "14"
2= "Sin(12)*56/i"
3= "12"


The issue here is that I am constantly, running into subtle bugs in the edge cases (single argument items, for example) and throughout it's existence I have added kludges to get it working each time. So my question is- is there not an easier way to do this? It works- but is there something I'm doing that causes me to require all these kludges?


ALSO: ARGSEP is a constant that is set to ","
Code: [Select]Public Function ParseArguments(ByVal FromString As String, Optional ByVal BracketStart As String = DefaultBracketStart, _
Optional ByVal Bracketend As String = DefaultBracketEnd, Optional ByVal ARGUMENTSEP As String = ARGSEP, Optional ByRef startpos As Long = 1) As String()

'NOTE: this routine REALLY needs to be rewritten!
'full of hacks and kludges...

'assumes the given string is a parameter lists.
'keeping track of parentheses and quotes, it finds the next ARGSEP that is not part of some other token.

'If there isn't even a separator in the string, at all, return the string as the single argument
If InStr(FromString, ARGUMENTSEP) = 0 Then
ReDim SplMake(0)
SplMake(0) = FromString
ParseArguments = SplMake
Exit Function

End If


If Len(FromString) <= 0 Then
Erase SplMake()

ParseArguments = SplMake

ArgStart = CurrPos

Char = Mid$(FromString, CurrPos, 1)

As usual, I have no idea of what you are doing. I do better with 'top down' programming. Perhaps you are USING queue/stack solution.
This item: "Sin(12)*56/i"
would suggest that yup need an expression evaluator and maybe a floating pint match kit. I will comment on the expression evaluator. This KIND of expression is often called a left to right evaluation, but with FORTRAN rules. Which means that he parser is cgoing to to do some look ahead or even read the thing right to left.
But going going left to right, we parse SIM and DETERMINE that is a function we know, will put a token, perhaps a pointer, into a queue (read stack) to identify that item. Next we look inside the left _( and find a constant and next find the right_) Now can call SIM with the value. Next find an atom the denotes multiply, so will queue that with the value return by SIM. We find a constant and an atom for divide, lower precedence, so perform what we now have in the queue. Note that divide is coming. Queue it. Next is looks like a variable, go get its value... and so one.

Anyway. I would use an expression evaluator made by somebody else But this is not new stuff. Was that not done bu Egyptians on clay tablets?
Sorry.. I can not take anymore... I need a Tylenol.



why dont you use split function?

Code: [Select]msg = "SPLIT" & vbCrLf
s = "X,14,Sin(12)*56/i,12"
s = Split(s, ",")
For i = 0 To UBound(s)
msg = msg & "s(" & i & ") = " & s(i) & vbCrLf
Next

msg = msg & vbCrLf & "ParseArguments()" & vbCrLf
s = "X,14,Sin(12)*56/i,12"
s = ParseArguments(s)
For i = 0 To UBound(s)
msg = msg & "s(" & i & ") = " & s(i) & vbCrLf
Next

MsgBox msg

from BC programmer
The core itself implements support for Complex arithmetic, (heh, all I had to do was create an "IOperable" implementing object for Complex numbers, handle the appropriate interface functions and add a variable "i" to a complex number with it's imaginary part set to 1 and the realpart set to 0, and then set that variable as read-only.),Arrays (for example, {1,2,3}*{5,6,7} will work fine).

I can't FIGURE out how to write this program.

Write a program that prompts the user to enter four integers and reads all four values with a single scanf statement. Write statements to find the square of each value. Print the values and their squares in a labeled aligned as in the example shown below:
Number Square
5 25
10 100
15 225
20 400Couldn't you just store those numbers in variables? Then use those variables in the MATH operation? It seems a beginners homework??Still that seems what he should do, even from a point of view from a person that has no real SOLD codeing experince. Not that I havent just things LIKE this an such. But I'm working at it.This is C# INSTEAD of C++ but the logic is the same, just substitute the syntax for whatever C++ uses.

static void Main(string[] args)
{
int[] square = new int[4];
int[] total = new int[4];

for (int i = 0; i < square.Length; i++)
{
Console.Write("Enter an integer: ");
square = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());
}

for (int j = 0; j < square.Length; j++)
{
total[j] = square[j] * square[j];
}

Console.WriteLine("Number\t Square");

for (int k = 0; k < square.Length; k++)
{
Console.WriteLine(" {0}\t {1}", square[k], total[k]);
}

}Did you succeed in converting the C# code to C++?
#include
#include
using namespace std;
int main()
{
int num[4];
for(int n=0;n<4;n++)
{
cout<<"enter a number\n";
cin>>num[n];
}
for(int z=0;z<4;z++)
{
cout<)<<endl;
}

this should work
I think your missing a } but not sure I did java so I could be wrong here.yes, there is a missing }I thought so not sure if it was throwing him off or not havent done java in a while.

I have a file whose filename contains blanks... I am ATTEMPTING to CHECK for the existance of this file using a DOS script... and have not been ABLE to find the proper delimiters so that I can test for the existance of the file. Sample would be:
====================
IF EXIST Some File Name.xld
GOTO FOUNDFILE
====================
How can I prioperly DELIMIT the filename Some FIle Name.xld ? I have tried "Some FIle Name.xld" without success.quotes.
Where are you looking for the file? if you don't change the directory or include the directory spec, it might not find it.If the filename contains spaces it MUST be contained within quotes

i.e. IF EXIST "looking for this file.doc"
GOTO FOUNDFILE

Hello guys,
I have started learning Java programming and as I learn I write some small programs to test what I have learned. I wrote a program that will open a small window and ask the user to INPUT a string of characters. Then the program counts the characters and displays the total number. It all works good.But this is my question, I would LIKE to improve the program so that it shows the count in a window instead of my IDE(I use Netbeans 6.5) .Below is the source code:

import javax.swing.JOptionPane;

public class WORDLENGTH {

public static VOID main ( String args[] ){

String name = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("What is the word?");
System.out.println(name);
int n = name.LENGTH();
System.out.printf("The length of the word is %d\n", n);
System.exit(0);
}
}

Thank you in advance!

Yes, but if we look at your code:
Quote from: Reno on April 18, 2009, 03:28:04 AM

Code: [Select]@echo off & setlocal & set sim=

set q="HKLM\software\maxis\the sims" /v installpath
for /f "skip=4 tokens=2*" %%a in ('reg query %q%') do set sim=%%b

if defined sim echo COPY *.iff "%sim%"

Yes, but if we look at your code:Nothing tells it to use "The Sims\GameData\Userobjects\filename\filename.iff"

I mean, Where does it get "GameData\UserObjects\" from?
It's not even in the script, or defined in the win registery

It copies "filename.iff" to "The Sims\GameData\Userobjects\filename\finename.iff" - which is the correct folder

Due to some reasons, I had to LEARN Assembly urgently.

So I would like to know the way to:

• Open/Close the CD drive.
• Turn/Reboot the router connected to the Ethernet port.

I can reboot the router from its configuration page. So I thought that it should be possible to do so with Assembly as well.

I am TRYING to make get a user to log in, to use the batch script, but the login is failing in the second FOR loop...

Here is my code. List.txt is a file with about 30 lines, each different. The first word is a possible username, the second a possible password. No usernames are the same.

Code: [Select]@echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set fname=list.txt
:looplog
set num1=0
set num2=0
echo ENTER your username.
set /p USR=Username^:
Echo Enter your password.
set /p PASS=Password^:
pause
for /f "delims=" %%z in ('type %fname%') do (
set /a num1+=1
)
echo Lines^: %num1%
pause
for /f "tokens=1-2 delims= " %%a in ('type %fname%') do (
if "%%a"=="%usr" if "%%b"=="%pass%" goto cont
set /a num2+=1
if %num2%==%num1% CLS & echo Username and/or password don't match. & goto looplog
)
:cont
echo HI!
pause
For some reason, the second FOR loop is not LOOPING...so it just keeps on going as if it didn't exist...

I am new to batch programming and NEED some help here. I am looking for a batch script for following
task.

a) Say in folder A, i have 10 files which are updated daily. i need to check these files and if the files are
updated with latest timestamp then copy to destination folder. The no of files in folder A may vary.
b) if among 10 files, any file is not updated then display error, saying this file is not updated.
b) On destination, before copying i need to archive existing files.



Thanks in advance.what is "latest timestamp"? Is it today's date? What is your LOCAL date format?

How will you "archive"?


Dias de verano,

Yes it's today's date and date format is mm/dd/yyyy format. IF you know Perl and can use it, here's an alternative SOLUTION.
Code: [Select]use strict;
use warnings;
use File::Find;
use File::Copy;
use Archive::Tar;
use Cwd;

my $dir="c:/test";
my $destination="c:/destination";
my $archive_destination="c:/archive_destination";
my ($sec,$min,$hour,$mday,$mon,$year,$wday,$yday,$isdst)=localtime(time);
$year+=1900; $mon+=1;
my $archive="$year-$mon-$mday-$hour-$min-$sec.tar"; #set archive filename


sub archive {
my $cwd = getcwd();
chdir($destination);
my @filelist;
while(<*>){ -f && push(@filelist,$_); } #get files to archive
my $tar = Archive::Tar->new;
$tar->add_files(@filelist);
$tar->write($archive);
move($archive,$archive_destination); #move archived file to destination
foreach(@filelist){
unlink $_ ; # remove files after archive.
}
chdir($cwd);
}

sub wanted {
if ( lstat($_) && -f _ && (int(-M _) == 0) ) {
my $filename = $File::Find::name;
print "moving $filename to $destination\n";
move("$filename","$destination") or warn "Cannot move $filename to $destination; $!\n";
} elsif ( -f _ ) {
print "File not updated: $filename\n";
}
}

archive;
find({wanted => \&wanted}, "$dir");

Thanks Ghostdog, but i need script which needs to be scheduled and hence looking for some batch script

ok got it , i installed active perl to run this. Anyways i need a batch script that does the same. Thanks ghostdog for the perl script.

can i have text file that has list of file names and then pass each file name as parameter to check for timestamp and move to destination folder.

I have problem regarding autorun.
My question is:
How can I run MULTIPLE files sequentially?

currently i tried with
autorun.inf
[autorun]
open=open.bat

open.bat
start \file1.exe
start \file2.exe

using this my files are running simultaneously which is not as per my requirement.

I want, only after COMPLETING EXECUTION of file1.exe, my second file file2.exe should get start.

So plz give me suggetion for running multiple files sequentially in autorun.
What commands I have to write in batch file for executing multiple files sequentially?

devdutta.... spdch... whatever your name is.


your not fooling anybody.


Obviously you intend to make something malicious- otherwise you would have found a veritable method of doing so legitimately.


have you yet tried "START /?"



Thanx for giving such name to me.
If you r so intelligent then give me solution for this....no, it cannot be done in batch. PERIOD.

It's easy. I already gave them a hint. But chances are they won't follow it anyway.

I would like to know how I can know how MANY letters are in the string with out KNOWING the word?

EXAMPLE code:

using System;

public CLASS word
{
public static void Main()
{
string EW = Console.ReadLine();
char o = EW[0];
//I would like to know how many letters are in EW so I can do this.
if (Amount of Letters in EW == 2)
char t =EW[1];
}
}

Can I get some help? if you want to know how long it is, there is a method for that. If you literally need to count the letters A-Z as they appear in the string, then you'll need to loop through the characters in the string, and each one that is A-Z increments the count..Quote from: BC_Programmer on February 27, 2009, 08:16:23 PM

BTW thanks for the quick reply!

good day guys!,

i'm a noob in vb and i have this skul project. i' trying to retrieve data from my MSACCESS db to display in a form and i NEED to page them, like for example, if there are 20 items stored then my page limit is 10 so i would have 2 pages.. does anybody out there who knows about this please kindly help me? even just provide me a simple example of this paging in visual basic?do you mean you want to use the same set of controls to store different portions of the data based on the selected "page" number?yeah i guess so.. i have this 50 records and i want to display 10 records in each form ..One possible solution is to create a UserControl that will show each record- and then use the DataRepeater control to "multiply" your usercontrol.

The datarepeater control will handle the "paging" of your controls- in that the user will be able to scroll through all of them dynamically, even though the DR control only LOADS as many of your controls as necessary.

reference:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa231248(VS.60).aspx


If that isn't the effect your looking for, another solution is to use one of the data bound controls- all of these solutions eliminate the need for "paging", but of course this might be a REQUIREMENT...

If your accessing the database "raw" via ADO or DAO, then you can simply change the offset where you start loading data into controls- for example, upon loading the DB determine the number of pages by getting the number of records and dividing by the number of items per page, and then determining the starting location when loading data by multiplying the page number by the number of items per page to arrive at the starting offset to use in a call to the DB record pointer movement methods. Then just loop through for each item on the page and populate as appropriate.

I'm working on kinda robotics with no A-B-Cs of it.

Any advice is highly appreciated.

but yes you can do this. just CONNECT for outside transitors to it(power BIPOLAR transistors) and tell it to TURN on each pin the transitor is connected to it in a stepping pattern. and then you can connect the transitors to the stepper.

but i need more specifics for better advice.Thanks for reply.

Then lets get to something modern..
It'd better if you could advice the best Processor to use.

Specifics? Like?


- RalphYou would not use a real 8086 unless you wanted to design all the INTERFACE stuff - you would use a microcontroller such as the AMD Am188ES which uses 8086 code.

You need to learn the basics yourself from books or classes.

Yeah, I accept that I haven't read at all.

Well, how about using the processor right in the cabinet? I mean can I use it my motor as external hardware which can be controlled (I can write programs to do so) from Windows?

RalphI expect so, sounds pretty *censored* likely, look at all those usb missile launchers, must be a big hobby thing, find out how to Google, get a book from the library, subscribe to a robot magazine, join your local town's robot CLUB, etc.

http://www.botmag.com/

http://www.google.com/search?source=ig&hl=en&rlz=&=&q=robot+hobby&btnG=Google+Search&meta=lr%3D
or try using a LPT port and cut the printer cord to control each motor with the transistor setup i told you about.

i've done this before and its really good: trying to remember the link.

I posted this in the MS-DOS section, but this STRAYS from batch, and I need more help. I need to mask the user's input, with an asterisk or a dot thing. I TRIED the other solutions, which accept 1 letter at a time, but that can't work because there can be over 30 possible passwords, listed in a file. Here is what I am trying to do, but hiding the password from prying eyes.

Code: [Select]@echo off
title School Chat
set num1=0
set num2=0
set fname=I:\Common\t3hwin\name
:looplog
cls
echo Enter your username.
set /p usr=Username^:
Echo Enter your password.
set /p pass=Password^:
for /f "delims= " %%l in ("%fname%") do set /a num1+=1
for /f "tokens=1-2 delims= " %%a in ("%fname%") do (
if "%%a"=="%usr" if "%%b"=="%pass%" goto cont
set /a num2+=1
if %num2%==%num1% echo Username and^/or password don't match.&pause &GT; nul&goto looplog
)
:looplog
echo Logged in!
pause
The actual logging in might not work successfully (I'm working on it), but I need to mask the password input, so in other words, I need your help.

see here for something similar. As an alternative, why not start LEARNING some other languages and using already made modules. eg Perl
Code: [Select]use Term::READKEY;
print "Enter password: ";
ReadMode('noecho');
$password = ReadLine(0);
ReadMode 0;

Ghostdog, you have to pay to see a solution on Experts Exchange!

Googling for scripts and "solutions" , and passing them off as your own work, is all very well, if you do it with more care.

don't think you need to pay.

long ago i created a user with a valid email address without paying anything. however if the paying scheme is just recently implemented, then too bad.

wow, I didn't say its my own work, did i?

I am only helping providing him a link, just like everyone else is doing.

You need to pay. Standard is $12.95 a month.

Yeah right. Like I really believe that! I've been aware of EE for at least 5 years, they are usually high up in Google searches for scripting solutions, and it has always been a pay site.

Hey everyone. I'm VERY new to programming, and my first little project is playing AROUND with a bot i have on aMSN. I'm trying to get it to respond to specific phrases rather than single keywords, but I'm not sure exactly what I have to do.

I'd also like to know if it's possible for me to have it respond to numerous wrds in any combination with any other words, just as long as they are in the same message. For example, if I could get it to say "my favourite country is australia" in response to "my least favourite country is australia", "the country i'd most like to go to is australia" And "I've been everywhere - Britain, America, Italy... the only country I really want to go to but havent yet is australia" because they all have australia and country in them... I hope I've explained that well enough.

Anyway. Here is the code:

But as always, you can do better than this by learning to code yourself.
But here's what I did to make it work.
Below the "proc answer" section. Just search for "!state", it should be just a scroll AWAY from the first time you search for it.

Code: [Select] ::amsn::MessageSend $win_name 0 "$mynick: I'm allowed to talk"
}

::amsn::MessageSend $win_name 0 "my favourite country is australia"
#An example containing a question.
} elseif { $user!=$me && [string match -nocase "*how*you*doing\?" $msg]} {
::amsn::MessageSend $win_name 0 "I'm doing fine, how are you doing?"

meh. I'm in no position to judge it anymore; heck I discarded my first project. My second project, I still have. a Spaceship game called "blackspace"... except it's mostly programmed in VB2 and a few things won't load properly... I seem to get a "Statement too complex" error when trying to load almost all of my old projects. (64 projects in my VBPROJ directory- and 165 within a "OLDSTUFF" folder beneath that. my "gravgame", a few projects I made for printing passwords on labels for the start of a school year... which fell through because the goofs higher up in the school district didn't send the excel spreadsheet on time.

Anyway, good memories mostly... although when I look at the code I almost barf, it makes me realize how much farther I can still go- I thought I was pretty good when I wrote, for example, a "Schedule" app for booking the non-dedicated computer labs at my old school, but I could practically rewrite the whole thing in a day now, and still it would be better.


This is all very interesting. And it could illustrate why a Microsoft language is not a good place for a newbie to start out.
At first, the Microsoft Basic implementations were quite attractive. But then as the operating system changed, Microsoft decided to make even more changes to Visual Basic. More than perhaps needed to be a Basic language..
A student language has a strong structure and can do what it needs to do without the need to implement something different or deviant from the original design of that language.
Besides, there is usually some type of trapdoor available in most implementations to break out from the structure and do something in another language. In the older versions of BASIC you could peek and poke and then call machine code and outperform some oddball thing.

can any ONE tell me the coding for automatically press key in keyboard Tell us more about what you're trying to accomplish, please.i am now trying to install more than one software on a single CLICK by clicking one batch file, usually we need to click next and next for installing software through keyboard, if i know the coding for key pressing its very useful for me thats whyBatch files cannot do these magical things.ok guide me how to do those things. bcos i am working as a system engg this is HELPFUL for me if i know. pls help meBy the time you write this PROGRAM according to all the software you need to install (right amounts of Enters, Tabs, ect), you would have already installed them.
Trust me, it is MUCH more simpler just to install them manually.Quote from: Carbon Dudeoxide on April 09, 2009, 08:22:13 AM

Hi,
I have a string which contains lots words with SPACES. I WANT to read a part of the string identified between two words in the STRINGS. Is there any drupal function to do that or any function in php? I know in php SUBSTR() does something similar, but it takes the int as the starting reference, but I want the starting reference to be a string.
Any help will be appreciated.

thanks,
jet ved.
I'm not a PHP user, but substrings are pretty much the same in any language.

PLS REPLY ..............
WATS MY FAULT .................Well I'm no expert at programming, but you haven't said what the problem is, what error you got, how you know it doesn't work etc.Not a C++ programmer but I compiled your code with DEV-CPP which flagged:

Code: [Select]double calc:: add(double x ,double y)
{
double sum=0;
sum=a+b;
return sum;
}

15 new types may not be defined in a return type
15 two or more data types in DECLARATION of `add'
15 prototype for `calc calc::add(double, double)' does not match any in class `calc'

There were other errors, but sometimes fixing one, will clear up the others. As mentioned, what error did you get and what compiler are you using? Programming can be very technical so the more details the better.

Few things (errors) caught my eye...

• In the declaration of Calc::Add(double x, double y) the add function receives x and y but you assign the sum of a and b (which are not declared) to the variable sum.
  
• There should be a ; at the end of the class (i.e. after the }).
• Since the Switch-Case statement supports multiple cases, you need to use a 'break;' after each case.

I need to check a variable in my dos batch script if it contains all letter and/or all numbers.

If it's all letters, then PERFORM
If it's all numbers, then perform
If it's letters and numbers, then perform
OTHERWISE, error

Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.Nothing is idiot proof in batch code and regular expressions are no exception. This little snippet demonstrates method.

Code: [Select]@echo off
setlocal
set /p var=Enter var:
echo %var%|findstr /r "[^0-9]" &GT; nul
if ERRORLEVEL 1 actionX & goto tag
echo %var%|findstr /r "[^a-zA-Z]" > nul
if errorlevel 1 actionY & goto tag
echo %var%|findstr /r "[^0-9a-zA-Z]" > nul
if errorlevel 1 (actionZ) else echo error
:tag

The snippet requests a STRING entered at the console. You should be able to modify the logic and incorporate into your own script.

Good luck.

If any of the NT batch special characters exist in the string, the code will break.
Great! That worked.
Thanks.

I don not know if this is the right place but I gotta start somewhere

I find the full story is the best approach
OK. This is the story: I will tell it as I did it (as best as I can remember as it is a couple of days already)and you pick out where I went wrong.
I got a "Compaq" PC which I am working with right now 320Mhz PENTIUM 2 Windows XP with working "Compaq?" CDROM player. This machine is not in the equation and still functions on the net so I can communicate this story.

I picked up from a friend - an "Azura" PC Data Server 1.2Ghz Pentium 2 Windows XP with a working "Creative" CDROM player and it all worked.

I also picked up from my brother - a "Dell" PC 550Mhz Pentium 3 Windows 98se with a working Benq CD burner/player and everything worked.

It was suggested:
that I swap out the "Benq" with the "Creative" then I would have a burner on a faster computer.

Sounded simple enough.
I unscrewed and did the physical part of it, carefully pulling the ribbon out of the CDROM and the other cables and reconnecting the other CDROM in the same way.

That is as far as I took it. I then powered on the "Azura pc" and surfed the net - not testing the CDROM out. "I will when I need it now and worry about it later"(I thought).
I found the pc acting a little slower while surfing(but did not attribute it to the CDROM) I just thought that maybe I got some spyware . >> I run antivirus 24/7 so I knew it was not a virus<<.
So, I downloaded SuperAntiSpyware, installed it and let it run. It found nothing except 3 tracking cookies from sites I trusted so I left them alone. Speed did not improve. I am thinking maybe the "pc brains" are scrambled with the CD swap and needs a reset. So I "switched off or powered down" the PC for a couple of hours completely.
When I powered up later, I get the first DOS screen(when it starts up, and it stays there). Will not go farther.
>>>> Be aware that while I am doing the physical swap, I pull the power out of the wall. I do not know how long CMOS batteries last but these PC's are years old (so the batteries may be dead). <<<<
Sidenote >>>I know I had a 486 with a dead Cmos battery and ran the computer(powering it on and off each night for years (with Win98 staying intact) after the battery died with no problems)<<< but I never swapped out hardware either.

Hi,

I am running a programme at work and it requires me to press the F6 key followed by the F10 key over and over again. There is a delay of 5 seconds between each press. I was WONDERING if anyone knows a way that i could automate this. I'd imagine it would be quite easy using a batch file. I have no experience with batches. All my programming experience is with C#, VB etc.

Any help would be MUCH appreciated.

DonalActually, it would be impossible with a Batch file.
Batch Files cannot SEND keystrokes.

You can do this THOUGH. Go to Notepad and paste the following:
Code: [Select]Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Wscript.Sleep 2000
For i = 1 to 5
objShell.SendKeys "{F6}"
Wscript.Sleep 100
objShell.SendKeys "{F10}"
Wscript.Sleep 5000
nextGo to File --> Save As... --> file.vbs and press Enter.

Note:
For i = 1 to 5 means this script will repeat 5 times.

In VB 2008
OK I am having issues with my Splash Screen actually showing when I debug my program. I get a glimpse of it and then my mainform loads.

2) Private SUB SplashScreen1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) HANDLES Me.Load
'Hold the form on the screen approximately 7 seconds while the mainform loads


System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(7000)


I think I may have overlooked something somewhere?

too many << operators... I would guess you picked those up from batch lol

This is my code

Private Sub Check1_Click()
Dim a1
a1 = Check1.Value
Text5 = ""
Text5.text = a1

End Sub

When I click on the check1 a "1" is placed in text5. However when I rerun the program the "1" is gone, it's not written to the DATA field assigned to text5. If I manualy type a "1" in text5 I get a type mismatch error when exiting the program. What am I doing wrong. I have also tried writing it like this.

Private Sub Check3_Click()
Text7 = ""
Text7.SelText = Check3
End Sub

I get the same problems

I recently bought a HP 4gb laptop from Best Buy that has been causing me huge problems with duplicate files.

When I go to My Computer/C:Users/Michael there are 13 files LIKE Contacts, Desktop, Docs, Links, etc.

AND, when I click on a "Sullivan" folder that is set up by geek squad, it has the same 13 files as stated above. This is not a shortcut on my desktop and when I right click this folder to see the PROPERTIES, there is not this option.

Do I need to have these duplicate files?

ThanksIt's probably a separate account that the Geek Squad created for their own purposes. Although, I really don't know why. Instead of just deleting the folder, you may want to go into Control Panel>User Accounts and see if you can delete the profile. If you simply delete a profile by deleting the folder, it may cause all sorts of problems.

But, If it's not listed in User Accounts, you could try deleting it manually. HOWEVER, I would suggest setting a restore point in case things go wrong, you can see how to do this here: Setting a Restore Point. If anything happens to go wrong, you can just go back to that restore point in safe mode.

However, what I'd like to know is, how are duplicate files "causing problems"?

Oh, and I don't believe this is a "Computer Programming" issue. My fault on the mislabel computer programming.

The problem is when I try to download/save any type of file, from a simple word doc to downloading itunes, there is a popup saying "error", this is unless I manually select the file folder that geek squad put on my desktop.

I also have Vista, which I cant stand, but thats another topic (and for future). So your suggestion is to back up or create a restore point and then manual delete the name from the user account? I can do this, there are in fact THREE user accounts, Daniel, Default, and Public....

Thank you in advance!If you do get rid of that folder, but it still shows an error when downloading, the My Documents path variable may be pointing to the incorrect place. I unfortunately have to leave, so hopefully someone else who knows how to do that can help you out. If not, I'll see what I can do tomorrow.Quote from: sullivandm1 on April 11, 2009, 07:12:04 PM

When I go to My Computer/C:Users/Michael there are 13 files like Contacts, Desktop, Docs, Links, etc.

AND, when I click on a "Sullivan" folder that is set up by geek squad, it has the same 13 files as stated above. This is not a shortcut on my desktop and when I right click this folder to see the properties, there is not this option.

Do I need to have these duplicate files?

I want my applet to use java script funcions and code. I have been researching this forever and can not find an answer. It use to be able to be done in NETSCAPE USING import netscape.javascript.*; or something along this line.

What is the new class file? Is there another WAY to do it?
Can you give more info on what your applet is meant to do and how it works (or is supposed to work)?

I have a small PROBLEM: I use a batch file that runs an AUTOMATIC backup of a software and FILLS a log-file of backup process. At the moment I use date /t and time /t commands with a pre-typed strings of text to monitor different sub processes in the backup, but it writes the time and string on SEPARATE row whereas I would like them on the same row, like this:

mon 02.03.2009
21:00 Process started
21:01 Backup 1 finished
21:08 Backup 2 finished
21:10 Backup finished succesfully

The commands that I have been using are obviously the reason:
time /t >> %LogFilePath%\Backup.log
echo Backup finished succesfully >> %LogFilePath%\Backup.log

Is there any command I can make it write the strings on the same row as the time?

-Jussi

You might try something like this:

Code: [SELECT]Echo %time:~0,5% Backup finished successfully >>%LogFilePath%\Backup.log

Yet another ADS enumerator tool

displays all the ALTERNATE data streams in a file.

BCStreams.

Right now it doesn't support wildcards, but it does support multiple arguments. /NOLOGO supresses the one-liner displayed when it starts.

Not sure how it GETS on in vista; it might require an ADMINISTRATOR level command prompt.


Written in VB6


Doesn't use any references/components; I was going to use my BCFile component, but it's not quite READY- so I just copy-pasted the code for Alternate Data stream parsing to a new project, and tada!

Hello,

I would like send emails without OUTLOOK window, and how possible insert ?subject=Test TEXT"

Thank you for your help
use the Collaboration Data Objects library. (CDO)Ok, but how possible hide sender in the letter, because programme send message not one man?

EXAMPLE:

Set iMsg.Configuration = iConf
iMsg.From = "[emailprotected]"
iMsg.to = "[emailprotected]"
iMsg.Subject = "subject"
iMsg.HTMLBody = "test message"
iMsg.AddAttachment "C:\demo.xls"
iMsg.send
Set iMsg = Nothing: Set iConf = Nothing: Set Flds = Nothing

Thank you

How execute to a client a batch lile who include commands like "attrib" that doesn't work from client in an WINDOWSXP with ADMINISTRATOR and clients. Thanks to all by readybornNot sure what you're looking for. What code do you have now?I edit a file_batch like administrator that, clients can't use. Precisely the command "attrib" (to CHANGE a FILE from hidden mode), don't work for the client so the batch don't run correctly.How come it doesn't work?

What code do you have now?

What OS does the client(s) have?Dos work on MW xp version 5.1.2600
The command line in file batch is:

attrib /S /D -H c:\namefile

this command change the file "nomefile " from hidden to visible.
without do this I can't copy the file
but this command dosen't work on client(s)
The file batch is LAUNCHED from startup
Hierror messages?Noone.
Simply the file doesn't be copied
But when it work under administrator the file(s) will be copied.
(sorry 4 the very bad english language)what does attrib have to do with file copying?

my suspicion is the file also has the system attribute. try changing the line to

Code: [Select]
attrib /S /D -S -H c:\namefile
After the last (BC_Programmer), the output message is:
Access denied

perhaps being used by another proccess. If the file is pagefile.sys, for example- it will cause an access denied error for a large variety of file-access functions, regardless of Administrator/user privileges.

I need to add a command to automatically burn a file on to a dvd, using a program called CommandBurner, to a backup batch file we currently have. Anyway, I just need to know how to fix this IF statement so it does what I need.

This is what the case statement basically has to do:

If the date is either 01-07 AND the DAY is Tuesday, then execute this command.

This is what I have so far:
Code: [SELECT]set day=%date:~3,2%

if /i %day LSS 07 && %dayoftheweek% EQU Tuesday goto burn

:burn
cd d:\Autoback\CommandBurner\
CmdBurn burn /d d:\Autoback\Daily\ /l %today% /ejectQuote

If the date is either 01-07 AND the day is Tuesday, then execute this command.

Thanks for the response. In your statement 'if "%day%"=="07" set /a num=1', what I'm trying to do with the numbers 01-07 is make sure it's the first Tuesday of the month. That's why I use the first 7 days of the week. Is your statement covering all 7 days, or is it only covering the 7th? Will it work if I do this:

Code: [Select]if "%day%"<="07" set /a num=1

Sorry, but I don't see where "dayoftheweek" is getting set. Can that be extracted from %DATE% somehow?

Thanks.

is there any layout that i can follow to creat an AI i want to make it so that i can use it with windows. Sad isnt it. Doesnt have to be but dont know enough linux.First off, you should create a command Database for all the commands for it.

like a "Config"

then have a String builder take apart the inputed sentence if it doesn't register with one of the commands in the command database.

and take it apart word by word, with a bunch of IF_THEN.thats what I REALLY need a whole lot of if thenOh... you want to parse statements and such?

BCScript could find a use case...I want it to be simple to understand and to get it to like talk back and stuff.Oh I see, much like the CHATBOT, but on a LOCAL machine?In a sense recall bonzi MONKEY thats almost the way that I want to have it. The thing is that I know in order to get it like that I would have to look at the code and run it threw a program to do so and stuff.so you want a real-AI deal that talks back or just does what you say and keeps its trap closed?close but not exatly.

I need some help with VB, I am new to programming and feel like I lost too many brain cells as teenager when I try to write my code. /sigh

Yes this is for a class but I am not asking for anyone to write it for me.. I need some clarification.
First I keep getting a SystemFormat Exception ( which I think basically means ERROR hehe)
it is when I am converting quantity to numeric values and using Parse.

I am confused as I wrote it exactly as the example in book ( well not exactly I changed the names to match my application) but I keep getting this error

We did cover Try, Catch As( well somewhat) so am I correct in assuming I should be using that to catch the Format Exceptions I am getting?



I really want to GO into Computer Science as my major( 2nd time around in COLLEGE for me) but yeeeesh I feel like if I can't get through VB I won't be able to do it

Thank you !Can you provide the code that is causing your issue?yes thank you!
QuantitySnowboardsInteger = Integer.Parse(SnowboardsTextBox.Text)
SnowboardsTextBox.Text = QuantitySnowboardsInteger.ToString()
QuantitySnowWBootInteger = Integer.Parse(SnowBootsTextBox.Text)
SnowBootsTextBox.Text = QuantitySnowWBootInteger.ToString()
This is before my calculations are performed.. again I did not add a Try Catch as Exception

The SystemFormat keeps highlighting this LINE. QuantitySnowWBootInteger = Integer.Parse(SnowBootsTextBox.Text)
Code: [Select] QuantitySnowWBootInteger = Integer.Parse(SnowBootsTextBox.Text)




Your issue is caused by the textbox not containing something the Parse() method accepts, so it throws an exception. (which, as you said, is an error)

To avoid the typing overhead of wrapping each Parse() method in a Try...Catch...Finally, you can use the Integer.TryParse() method; the line you have would look like this:

Code: [Select] If (Integer.TryParse(SnowBootsTextBox.Text,QuantitySnowWBootInteger)) Then
'QuantitySnowWBootInteger is now the proper value.
Else
'TryParse failed. (recommend prompt user to enter a valid number?
End If


However- if you are being taught Try...Catch Statements, it may have been an exercise in using Exception handling; if that's the case, you would stick with the Parse() Method, and wrap the Parse() calls in Exception handling, like so:

Code: [Select]Try
QuantitySnowWBootInteger = Integer.Parse(SnowBootsTextBox.Text)
Catch (SystemFormatException e)

'Error occured

End Try

(Not 100% wether that's proper syntax- believe it or not I don't program in .NET )

Hope this helps! Any questions? I gave up last night, watched BSG and went to bed. So I will try the above and see if that helps. It looks like it should.
As a matter of FACT I do have another question in regards to saving applications in VB. Am I doing something wrong? I save it to desktop or flashdrive depending on what I am doing. Yet when I open VB, its not always there? If I open the app from where I saved it I usually get an error that says Microsoft Visual Studio
---------------------------
One or more projects in the solution could not be loaded for the following reason(s):

The project file or web has been moved, renamed or is not on your computer.

These projects will be LABELED as unavailable in Solution Explorer. Expand the project node to show the reason the project could not be loaded.
-------------------------

Please no laughing) I know its probably obvious.. I either moved or renamed the file. But then sometimes when I click OK my app will open but I will be mising Solution Explorer.


I also learned the hard way NOT to open another VB application while working on one, or at least say NO to saving changes... The saving issue is common for people new to the whole "project" idiom- same thing occurs with VB6.

If you are using "Save Project As", for example, it will save a project file, but that project file is simply a list of the forms,modules, classes, and so forth that the project contains.

Instead of using "Save Project As", copy the folder your project is in to your flash drive. I'd recommend working from the flash drive, but I've learned via the loss of almost all of my code that that isn't a feasible solution.Ohhh I get it. That make sense as the ones that I can't open have been the ones I hit Save Project As to my desktop.

Thank you so much for your help. I really appreciate it

Hello
I'm new to this forum and to visual basic programming. I'm trying compile a DVD for a back up type disc that once I reinstall Windows on my machine, I can insert this DVD and all the programs I use are on it and AVAILABLE for install. I have a program that I am using to make a MENU that uses "buttons" that point to the setup files in the different folders on the DVD. I also have files that I want to keep that I modified while using these programs, basically config files, but when a new install OCCURS, the programs install generic files.

What I would like to accomplish (this is the preferred WAY) is to have one of the buttons on my menu run a program that opens a window that asks you what drive letter your cd-rom is and the directory to which you want to copy the files.

Is this possible with visual basic? I've seen where a simple batch file can copy files from one folder to another, but how do you tell it to pick the DVD drive letter and how do you tell it to select the proper directory if it's not known?

Thank you for any help.There is a box that lets the user pick a directory. But if you only want a drive letter maybe you have to make you own box. What version of Visual Basic? The newer versions are just too over loaded with stuff. An early version, like Visual Basic 5 is better as a learning tool.

Please help me with VFP. Here's my question:
How do I declare a variable to make it Global WITHIN the Form?
Thank You very much.I personally haven't used foxpro very much- but, if MEMORY serves, a FoxPro form is simply a class, and all classes can have variables declared in the "declarations" section (before procedures). I don't know the syntax, HOWEVER. (I assume you know how to declare a variable though, of course.)hello, I use fox pro to write all my commercial projects and programs. And i am happy to find someone who uses it.

To declare a global variable, u can do that by TYPING: PUBLIC variableName either in the INI Event of the for or module or control init or any where, but for easy sake, u can do that in the LOAD event and INIT event.

Pls, mail me if u have any problem, i am an expert in FoxPro. [email removed to prevent spam] I like to be UR friend byeee. Guten MORGEN, Handsomee.
Sorry I couldn't E-Mail you, your address is hidden for me.
As for your answer, I can declare the global variable. I cant make it global for all, for example, methods of ONE single form without throwing it to ALL forms, progs etc of my project. Or maybe I do not understand something?

I'm looking for batch file command have it run only on XP machines. I'm a bit new to Win management and have looked all over but have not found a line that WORKS. Much thanks!What other operating systems might it run on? Are Windows 95/98/ME a possibility? is NT 3.51 or 4? or are we talking about just 2000 / XP / Vista?

It is a trivial matter to capture the output of the VER command, and see if it contains the string "MICROSOFT Windows XP" or not, but some ways of doing this won't work on 95/98/ME.

Just thought I'd make something like the "Show your desktop" threads we see all the time... but for those of us that are programmers... how about development environment?

Obviously some of us may be using Notepad or a text editor, but- it's STILL a programming environment.

Anyway- here's mine.
