I'm entering a work schedule on a sheet named "hours" in Microsoft Excel. I want to create a variable so I can type in "open" or "close" and it automatically recognizes what those times are. So I don't have to manually type in "11:45 pm" or "23:35" every time.

How is it done?

Thanks if you can help.first, need to clarify few things:
1. is it vbs (windows SCRIPTING host - installed by default by windows) or is it vba (built-in inside excel)

I want to create a variable so I can type in "open" or "close" and it automatically recognizes what those times are. So I don't have to manually type in "11:45 pm" or "23:35" every time.

TIMEVALUE
Returns the decimal number of the time represented by a text string. The decimal number is a value ranging from 0 (zero) to 0.99999999, representing the times from 0:00:00 (12:00:00 AM) to 23:59:59 (11:59:59 P.M.).

Syntax
TIMEVALUE(time_text)

Formula Description (RESULT)
=TIMEVALUE("2:24 AM") Decimal part of a day, for the time (0.1)

im a new programmer and I am testing my skills by programming simple little games. right now im using inline functions, i dont actually need them but i want practice with them.



when i compile the program it says " [linker error] undefined reference to `DrawingCards()' "
and " ld returned 1 exit status "
or itll say "'DrawingCards()' used but never DEFINED" and highlight the declaration in the header file.

Im not exactly sure what that means but i double checked everything and it SEEMS to look ok to me


It DECLARE it in the header file "int inline DrawingCards();"

Then define it in a separate source file
"int DrawingCards()
{
int FirstHand = 0;
......
}

In the main loop i call it " PlayerHand += DrawingCards(); "


when it compiles the error comes up in the header file when i declare it: "int inline DrawingCards();"

from what i understand the error means that the compiler thinks im calling the function instead of declaring it. but im probably wrong. any suggestions to help me out?

----Also if i make the function a normal int function it compiles and runs fine. but i need it to be an inline function, i do have i loop in the function but it stops itself after 2 loops.


Or if you COULD just point me in the right direction or where i could obtain this information, i looked else where on information on inline functions and only found that the compiler decides if the function can be inlined and it may not inline them if the function is to big, and i doubt any of my functions are to big most are not even a page worth of lines. Write inline at the first declaration of the function in the header file and the whole code of the function:

inline init DrawingCards()
{
blablablabla
}

Inline functions must not be more than 7 lines of code or so.

As a rule do not make inline functions that are too big and it depends on the compiler.change your
Code: [Select]int DrawingCards()
{
int FirstHand = 0;
......
}
to

Code: [Select]int inline DrawingCards()
{
int FirstHand = 0;
......
}

your declaration in the header file must match the implementation.

How can I find out at run time what java class I am in. Or what java class called me?

thank you.A

In every single class (code) you are in just write a code that will output the INFORMATIONS that is related to the class
Easy i dont know why you want to do that?use reflection.Thanks for the replies. Let me explain the actual problem. I have a main method which reads a FILE and passes the data to a class whose name is a state code. ie AZ, DE,MA etc. Each of these state classes write out data that USES the state code. Each of these state classes is coded by a different person and currently they each have a statement in them that reads:

theState = "xx"; where xx is the name of the class. What I am trying to avoid is one of the programmers using the wrong state code when it is just the name of the class.

what I have come up with is the following method:

private static String myName()
{
String className;
int i = 0;
className = "A";
try
{
int ii = 1 / i;
}
catch (Exception e)
{
StackTraceElement[] se = e.getStackTrace();
String fullClassName = se[1].getClassName();
int lastDot = fullClassName.lastIndexOf(".");
className = fullClassName.substring(++lastDot);
}
return className;
}


Is there a simpler way of doing this. I look up reflection but couldn't figure out how to use it.

Thanks for any help.
what about this.getClassName() instead of purposely causing an error, getting a stack trace and GRABBING the top object?

or am I missing something?this.getClassName() will not compile. I got it to compile. Thanks EVERYONE.

EXITI FIXED IT!! not really programming but i would think that as scriptingQuote from: TChai on March 19, 2009, 11:14:07 AM

not really programming but i would think that as scripting

I don't know if this can e done in batch but can anyone randomize a variables value(in batch)?
Like for example I give these 3 options and the variable gets as value anyone of them.
for example:

value1 - echo Hello
value2 - echo World
value3 - echo "

Now, each time i execute the batch file i want this variable not to have the same value always.
If that can be done I'd need some help.sure can be done

Code: [Select]@echo off

set r=%RANDOM%
echo Random Number=%r%

set/a a=%random% %% 3 + 1
echo a=%a%

if %a%==1 echo Hello
if %a%==2 echo World
if %a%==3 echo "
Explanation:

USING %random% generates a random number between 0 and 32767.

To restrict a random number to a range from 0 to N-1 you use set /a %random% modulus N. The modulus operator is a percent SIGN %. The modulus is the remainder that results from performing integer division. Thus %random% % 10 results in a random number whose lowest value could be 0 and whose highest value could be 9. To shift the range to be from 1 to N you add 1.

Modulus operator - NOTE that in a batch SCRIPT, (as opposed to on the command-line), you need to double up the % to %%.

Thus to generate a random number from 1 to 3 you could write

set /a rnum=%random% % 3 + 1 at the command prompt

and

set /a rnum=%random% %% 3 + 1 in a batch file.

I want to write simple PROGRAM in J2ME for my Sony Ericsson. I have no IDEA about that but well in java.

I don't know where i can start.

Can anyone tell me Reference or idea to learn J2ME? Especially for Sony Ericsson.i used to write application in J2ME long time ago, mostly written specific for nokia.

first you have to download the SDK for the series of phone. for Nokia, there is Series 40, Series 60, etc. and is available for download at Nokia website, or nokia will send you the SDK CD on request.

so for sony ericsson, you could go to their website and check if the sdk for sony is available for download. if not, there is a general j2me sdk availble at java website, i can't remember what was the name, something like STK. as long as you don't use the phone-specific API, the coding roughly should be the same across all java-phone, the difference mainly is in the screen size.

second, the J2ME API Reference, you should GET those, so you will know the available method and PROPERTIES of each object. it's the programming bible, without those, you are basically 'blind'.

Hello,

I have downloaded the updates that i needed for my Win XP PRO. Now I'm trying to write a batch file to start the install of my updates.
I'm able to start the install with the comand: "start" followed by the location, then i used the "then" comand to go to the next update. Th problem is that I want the next update to start after the one before has finished, and not while the first one is still running.
So Will you guys help me please, on how I have to program it, or if there is a better way to accomplish this.

I'm trying to create something like this so I don't need to download the same updates every time.

Thnx

What "then command"? I have never heard of it before.

Type start /? at the prompt to see all the options and the syntax including the /WAIT switch.
I have used "then" in a comand line as followed:

start c:\windowsXPsp3
then
start c:\sp3secrityupdate

I have used the then comand like i would use it in VB: first this comand an "then" the second comand. But the problem is that the batch file starts the comands directly behind eachother, what makes that my updates will install simultaneous and not one by one.
But now I will try what you propose, and will let you know if it works for me.Wow. I always though that in VB the "then" keyword was used with If tests like this

If A = B then
C
End If

So can you please direct me to some documentation that shows this other use that you appear to know about?

Also, you cannot rely on using VB keywords in batch files and expecting them to work. You cannot do this with keywords from Pascal, Fortran, C++, Perl, Python or Bash either. The /wait switch only works for non-gui applications. I tried it with firefox...And found the sad truth. Quote from: Helpmeh on November 19, 2009, 04:58:27 AM

The /wait switch only works for non-gui applications. I tried it with firefox...And found the sad truth.

How come ff works for you and not me?!

pls confirm you are using this format

Code: [Select]start /wait "title" "path\Program"
"title" can be just 2 quotes "" but it can't be omitted

"path\Program" needs quotes if there are any spaces

try this

Code: [Select]start /wait "" calc

There is no THEN command, therefore, you can not use it in IF tests. You are thinking of some other language, VB perhaps?

I was trying to make the whole thing like a program.

Hey guys, I was just wondering if there's a good tutorial out there for creating a simple but not too beginner'ish program in python that explains what everything does in it, because I'm having trouble understanding what all the functions and keywords do in python. If its important, I'm using Python 3.1.1. Thx all http://www.amazon.com/Python-Dummies-Computer-Tech/dp/0471778648/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1258861388&sr=8-1 is a great book on it if you have about $20 to spend. I have a used copy that I picked up for $7 off of ebay and it was good in the fact that it has lots of helpful tips and analogies to help understand stuff and of course some humor thrown in as the For Dummies series generally has mixed in as easter eggs.

* I'd go with simple ASCII for the Hangman Game to keep it simple at the command prompt. Later on you can tie in CGI with Python and either IIS or Apache server and make Web Based Games which can look far more professional.why spend your parent's (or your) hard earned moneyneedlessly when you can get for free?? Go to the official web site of Python to learn about Python. Why do people write books and read books about programming in anything? I MEAN, seriously, they can just read the dry and boring technical references.

Heck, why bother with computer books at all? just go with processor, memory, and device specifications, and people can extrapolate the rest for themselves. Or, maybe, these books provide an actual "human" voice to the dry function and statement references.

Back in the day when programs actually came with "hard copy" books, language environments almost non-exclusively came with at least two references- a language reference, and a programmers guide. By the logic provided here would the programmers guide not be extraneous? Why bother with such topics as "getting started" when such space could be used for yet another statement truth table?

Why? the very same reason we HAVE interpreted languages like Python. an analogous statement to "Why read books about it when you have the SDK" is PRETTY much "why use programming languages when we can use machine code?" It sounds silly phrased that way, but that's just what it is.


THAT being said, however; The documentation is vital, and should be a first step in any case. What I contest is the "documentation is always enough" concept; The documentation is written from one perspective, and extra documentation, books, and materials are invaluable as you reach into the upper echelons of a program's designed CAPABILITIES, as it can often help with what would otherwise be an insurmountable hurdle, documentation or no documentation. Oftentimes when confronted with a programming problem of some form, I will read my many programming oriented books; old and NEW. Even the oldest programming books can offer insight into modern programming; it really hasn't changed as much as many of us would like; it's still one of the youngest sciences and while we'd like to think that programming languages like python or .NET or perl are far more advanced then the languages we were using in the 70's they really are far too similar for comfort; we still "speak" to computers in a semi-english "dialect" the only thing that has changed is the grammars and the concepts involved with their arrangement. Saying they are "better" depends entirely on the definition of "better", which can range from the performance of the language to the size of the source code to such esoteric metrics as the average length of it's keywords; each of these particular traits has different values for nearly any programming language and to say one is better then any other is to shut out a world of languages just as the unilanguage english-speaking population would say English is the "best" language.

By shutting out what one believes to be inferior one can become so themselves.


Hmm, once again, a very odd rant-like POST. so after all that "rant", what is your stand?, books or no books? In this age of technology and the web, books are really of little use. True, it may or may not teach you all you need to know about a language, however, the wealth of information about the language is only limited to the author and a few select individuals. look at the PHP doc site for example. I think its good, because people all over the world comes and contribute their code and stuff. Books? what for. there are many stuffs the author may not know and the community has already made aware ofQuote from: gh0std0g74 on November 22, 2009, 01:02:34 AM

This part of the question requires you to complete the coding of a client–
server system that simulates an online international banking application. The
customers of the bank can select their preferred language for communication
with a bank server in order to obtain a report on their account’s BALANCE.

We have provided TWO NetBeans projects (in the file TMA02Q1.zip) for this
question: BankingServer and BankingClient. The code consists of
the following classes.

! The server, which runs indefinitely, is called
InternationalServer. It waits for a client to connect, and then
creates a thread (an instance of a class called
InternationalSession, see below) which controls this client’s
session.

! An InternationalAccount class, which has methods that
implement dialogues in different languages. It also has a dummy value
for the balance of an account.

! An InternationalSession class. An object of this class controls a
session, and invokes the methods of an InternationalAccount
object. The run method of this class first invokes the method that
requests the client to choose one of the following four languages:
English, DUTCH, Italian and Portuguese. It then executes the method
which asks (in the appropriate language) for the client’s account number,
and then reports the current balance of this account. (Note that, in the
InternationalAccount class, the problem has been simplified by
supplying a single dummy value for the balance, so that all accounts have
the same balance.)

! A client, called InternationalClient, which connects to the
InternationalServer server. It provides input for the class
InternationalSession, reads the messages it receives back, and
prints these messages on the screen.
Carry out the following steps.

1 Open the projects and inspect the code.
2 Write the code for the class InternationalServer which should do
the following:
! Wait to make a connection with each client at a port with an
appropriate port number outputting a message to the screen saying that
it is waiting for a client.
! Once a client is CONNECTED, create a thread (using the class
InternationalSession), provide it with the correct input and
output streams, and set the thread running.
3 Complete the class
4 Run the server.
5 Run four clients, one in each language.
4
Include the NetBeans projects in your Solutions zip and copy the following
items to your Solution Document.
(i) A copy of the code for your InternationalServer class.
(ii) The code for the completed statements for class
InternationalClient (note that there is no need to supply the code
for the whole class).
(iii)A SCREENSHOT of NetBeans with the Output window visible showing that
the server is running and waiting for a client.
(iv) A screenshot of NetBeans with the Output window visible showing a
client’s dialogue in Dutch.
Then answer the following question:
(v) In class InternationalClient there are readLine statements
associated with two different BufferedReaders on the lines marked
//1 and //2. By tracing through the code, explain for each readLine
statement where the data being read originates fromIs this a school assignment?Quote from: mroilfield on November 22, 2009, 04:56:00 AM

I hate to tell you this Ub, but you are barking up the wrong tree.

We don't do homework here, we did enough of our own earlier in life.

i doubt anyone actually wants you here.

I'm not very proficient in VBS, infact, I took this script from another thread on this FORUM, I'm just trying to implement it to my needs.

Set WshShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")

Set objTarget = objShell.NameSpace(outFolder)
intOptions = 256

%file% expands to input from the batch file the vbscript will be run from. %cd% expands to %cd% normally. I want the script to take a zip file (that is located in the current directory) and place the extracted files in a folder that has the same name as the zip file (minus the extension).

This is the message I get when I try and run the batch file (the contents of which I will show after):

Hello all,

I have another question! I would like to know how to make a batch either click a link on a page just opened, or just DOWNLOAD a file from a specified web url.

The reason for this is to automate an update process, without asking the user to click the download button.

I was able to find a PROGRAM to install that would do this, but i am looking for a more batchy version of this. Thanks in advance! There is a third-party program that can do what you want, but I can't remember what it is...hopefully another member can provide it. Thanks for the quick reply!
I was able to find wget.exe and webfetch.exe, however neither seem to be able to resolve my host, nor simply download the file at the specified path for that matter.

Anyone know of any other command executable programs?please specify the PROBLEM you are having with wget & show the code you are using

Hello all,

Just as the topic states, I cannot set a variable from an entry in a text FILE due to a space at the end of the entry. For example the program WRITES to the file here:

Code: [Select]ECHO %user% >> user.ini
Then attempts to read from it here:

Code: [Select]set /p user= <user.ini
But when it reads the VALUE its got a space at the end. This is unacceptable because this variable is used for a directory.
My QUESTION is, is there any way to remove a character from the end of the input? Or any other way around this?Code: [Select]ECHO %user% >> user.iniIs not right.Quote from: Geek-9pm on November 29, 2009, 10:29:30 PM

Hello all,

I have a few programs written in batch that perform deletions and other functions that take a variable amount of time.
I need to find a way to display the progress of the certain functions, so that the user doesn't think that the cmd just locked up. I remember something about a hash command, but have been unsuccessful at locating any documentation on it.

If you need more information please ask, your help is much appreciated.There is no 'hash command'. However maybe what you heard of is people echoing hash symbols (#) to the console as a progres indicator. You can echo them without a CRLF like this

0>nul set /p=#

If you are using a loop you can PUT that LINE at the end or start of the loop so each time around 1 # symbol gets shown.



Thanks for the quick reply. Hmm, this is very interesting. I am currently trying to show the progress of the following function:

Code: [Select]RD /Q /S "%programfiles(x86)%\largefolder"

Is this even possible? I just don't see how I could put that in a loop to change the current outcome. Perhaps someone can tell me a way to achieve this. You cannot show the "progress" of a single command like that. What you could do, I guess, is break it up, that is delete all the files in (and below) that FOLDER one by one, showing a symbol each time. Then remove the empty folder which is done with no delay.




Do this:

Code: [Select]echo Working, please be patient.......

(some other code)

(some other code)

It's the most sensible. But if you must.

If the amount of files is set you could do something like:

Code: [Select](file action)
cls
echo [||||| ]
(file action)
cls
echo [||||||| ]
(file action)
cls
echo [|||||||||||]
echo.
echo Done!

I can't think of anything else.

Ok i just hooked my pc up again today cause i went from my grandparents back to my apt and well i got on it and it was acting weird. Like when id click on a icon on the desktop it would highlight a few of them then if i tried to type it was like typing in all caps and stuff. i restarted it a couple TIMES and nothing. ran a couple programs on it to find out if it was a virus or something else on here and nothing showed up.. was confused.. all the help would be appreciated thanksI don't know what programs you ran to find out if it was "a virus or something else", but you should run a full scan with your AV utility with the current definitions (you have one installed, yes?) and with MalwareBytes.i ran AVG, superantispyware, and spybot, nothin with them.. but i had a friend email me back and im RUNNING a malware program right now..actually i THINK its the same one you mentioned..thanks..Try Kaspersky Anti-Virus it finds approximately 99% of the viruses I had which other application did not RECOGNIZE. The down-side is it eats a lot of memory, so I turn it off when my pc is fine.Hello,

In my opinion, run a full scan with MalwareBytes and let it clean your computer. If that doesn't help post an HijackThis Log of your computer. You will have to run it as administrator if you're using MS Vista or Win7.

Hi all,

I've found some stuff on the web about Windows doesn't support fork() and some people say use spawn() but I can't see a clear example of how to do it.

Here's what I'm TRYING to code with the fork() call. Can anyone suggest how I'd substitute spawn so I can execv the 3rd-party executable SYNCHRONOUSLY and get its return code?
Code: [Select]#include <sys/types.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>

main(int argc, CHAR *ARGV[])

{
FILE *fp;
int pid, status, died, i;
time_t now;

fp = fopen("C:\\path\\to\\cmdlog.txt","a+");
time(&now);
FPRINTF(fp,"Started %s%s", ctime(&now), argv[0]);
for(i=1;i<argc;i++)
fprintf(fp," %s", argv[i]);
fprintf(fp,"\n");
fclose(fp);

// pid=fork();
argv[0] = "C:\\path\\to\\original-command.exe";
execv("C:\\path\\to\\original-command", argv);
// died = wait(&status);

fp = fopen("C:\\path\\to\\cmdlog.txt","a+");
time(&now);
fprintf(fp, "Completed %s\n", ctime(&now));
fclose(fp);

// return status;
return 0;
}I've finally cracked it.

The following official article from Microsoft was way over complicated and I couldn't understand it
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/190351

but luckily I found this article which explains it in simple terms
http://www.cprogramming.com/faq/cgi-bin/smartfaq.cgi?answer=1044654269&id=1043284392

The solution is really simple
Code: [Select]#include <sys/types.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <process.h>

main(int argc, char *argv[])

{
FILE *fp;
int pid, status, died, i;
time_t now;

fp = fopen("C:\\path\\to\\cmdlog.txt","a+");
time(&now);
fprintf(fp,"Started %s%s", ctime(&now), argv[0]);
for(i=1;i<argc;i++)
fprintf(fp," %s", argv[i]);
fprintf(fp,"\n");
fclose(fp);

argv[0] = "C:\\path\\to\\original-command.exe";
status = spawnv(P_WAIT, "C:\\path\\to\\original-command.exe", argv);

fp = fopen("C:\\path\\to\\cmdlog.txt","a+");
time(&now);
fprintf(fp, "Completed %s\n", ctime(&now));
fclose(fp);

return status;
}

Hi,

I want to rename them them so they are PREFIXED with the current date AND time (e.g. 200912080626_file1.txt)
and then I want to move them to C:\testarchive

Is that possible?

I have started to code in D (finally, a real programming language), and I will say, it is quite nice. It is fairly similar to C. In fact, it gives you access to some of the C libraries. SkyIDE is a great choice for D, because it's just an all around awesome IDE, looks like Visual Studio. If anyone wants to know how to get started, you can PM me. tell me something about D. or give me link to readit myselfQuote from: Bukhari1986 on November 29, 2009, 10:20:05 AM

Yes i couldnt find it, it was hidden, THANKS alot

its deprecated, you have to say "using namespace STD"
like this:

#include
using namespace std;
void main()
{
cout << "Hello World!"
}

you're probably following too old tutorialsif you use vham.exe you can make this automatic.
1.just write your source
2.PRESS edit>executable>
3.write your name of your game/program
4.save it typ in dos IE00 CHK
5. if your program has no error it is succesfully else the program will fail like a flashI think this is what you wanted? Your original code does run after doing the compiling. I compiled with M$ visual C++ 2008 express edition (on Vista 32 bit home edition)

1.Open start menu
2. In the search box, type CMD and press Enter when CMD is found
3. open up the folder where your EXE exists if not already there. Then type in name of program.
4. I did the above three STEPS and I see following (and I just saved the FILE as "jack.exe in a folder named C++")

NOTE: don't just double click EXE to attempt running it, actually manually open CMD then run it. Else, the program might just exit too quickly for you to see actually the result. This might be why you think program is not working, or you only see a quick flash and then nothing again IF you are sure that you have followed the appropriate steps to compiling your code via your compiler

Here is screenshot of result:




Here is code I compiled:
Code: [Select]#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
char clr[5] = {'o','h','d','s','c'};
char nmr[10] = {'0','A','J','Q','K','@','#','7','8','9'};

cout << "The Jack of Spades (3;2) is abbreviated: " << clr[3] << "" << nmr[2];


cout << "How Awesome...";

cin.get();
return 0;
}
I got rid of int a, because it is an unused variable as is. Don't know what you wanted use a to do. And I find M$ Visual C++ express edition (the free edition of their professional software) to be relatively good to use.

Im trying to call a program from my c++ program, ive got it to work if i put the program im CALLING in c:/ but if i put it in a folder with a SPACE in its name like 'C:/Program Files' it doesnt see anything after the space, if there is a better way to call programs please let me know. Help will be greatly appreciated.

Once I eMailed a college instructor. I was just inquiring about a programming class that was offered at the time. He mentioned that if I want to learn programming, I should learn trigonometry. Of course I didn't understand what the heck that meant. But later I read in Upgrading and Repairing PCs that if you want to take advantage of the Arithmatic Logic Unit in any cpu, code has to be specifically written for it. Since the ALU deals with "more complex" math operations, I could only conclude that this is what the instructor was talking about.. Is this accurate? What is the relationship between mathematics and the field of computer SCIENCE?
Quote

Computer science is broadly concerned with the application of both mathematics and logic to the task of designing and controlling computers. Certain branches of mathematics are of special value in computer science such as boolean algebra and discrete mathematics. One place where math is applied is in the microprocessor unit of a computer which executes a stream of simple operations including arithmetic operations.

And really, I don't see why you'd need much of a background in trigonometry;

What is that supposed to mean?
Real Life engineering problems are solved using some branch of trigonometry.

He mentioned that if I want to learn programming, I should learn trigonometry.

Higher or basic mathematics train you to think logically in developing programs.

"hey, I want to learn programming."
"oh really? Well, I think, you should learn trigonometry first."
which is completely baseless; there is no statement of pre-requisites

But in formal education, this is a prerequisite right?

If I launch a SIMPLE bat FILE from a path on a network:
\\WinSrv\cr5\Dept400\me\Testing\batFiles\

then the bat executes goes to a Unix path and grabs a file (my question is this) it should then place it in here:
\\WinSrv\cr5\Dept400\me\Testing\batFiles\
Since that was where the bat file was launched from ? But I am not getting that result. Testing it in the C:\ it worked fine from the WinSrv path it did not work.

Is there a better way?

Glad I was able to help.

I need a little bit help with batch-files: how can I rename a folder in a bat-file so that it CONTAINS a current date - such as folder1_20090108 (or any other date string format)? Without the need of typing the date myself, of course

I'm planning to create a simple batch file that would make a backup copy of one certain folder that contains my school project, and need that date to identify the version.

Cheers

JussiIt's always difficult when we do not know the format of your date which you didn't advise. Here is a rename if your date format is 'day mm/dd/yyyy' - not tested.

Ren folder1 folder1_%date:~-4%%date:~4,2%%date:~7,2%

Renamed folder should be in the format folder1_yyyymmdd

You can substitute Copy for Ren when you copy the folder, no sense in copying then renaming.

Hope this helps.Quote from: Dusty on January 09, 2010, 02:30:47 AM

So, I am still in high school and want to pursue a career in computer programming. Before I do, I wanted to check out what it is like. I have been reading stuff, and a lot of people start way before they graduate high school Soo, I wanted to know if any one knew any good websites/applications I could get to teach me the fundamentals of programming on my mac. I have OS X 10.4.11 Tiger. Thanks ahead for any help. Macs use the X-Code Program for developing however if you are starting out I would recommend Microsoft Visual Basic which is PC only - If you have an Intel Mac you could set up a dual boot with OSX and Windows so you can use VB.What is your long-term objective?
Do you wish to be an actual programmer?
Oar are you more inclined to manage people and business decisions?
Either way, you do well to find a well-structured study guide.
Are you a good reader? How are your communication skills?
And have you made use of the advice you have in your neighborhood?

I have just rebuilt an old IBM Aptiva and have put just DOS 6.22 on it. I am going to use this SYSTEM just for old DOS games and would like to have a menu to make it easy for everyone who may use it to choose which game they would like to play. QBASIC is already on here but my problem is that I have not used it in over 25 years and have forgotten how to use it. I have a total of 18 categories that I will have on it, maybe more later as I expand. Some categories to get started with are: Trivia; Board and Card Games; 3D Shooting; Simulation; and Space. Some games to get me started with and their cat.: 3D Shooting; DOOM, DOOM II, Duke Nukem 3D; Simulation; SimTower, SimCity, SimCity 2000; Trivia; Bible Trivia, STAR Trek: TNG, Star Trek; Space; EGA Trek. As for the file path, I know I will have to insert that myself but should be marked so that I know where. Thank you so much in advance.

AndyWhich version of QBASIC?
from dos you can run a QNASIC program this way

QBASIC MENU /RUN

It will load and run MENU.BAS, if it is a valid file.

Code: [Select]10 REM SIMPLE MENU
PRINT "your choice"
PRINT "1 Nuke eem"
PRINT "2 Sim Ciry"
INPUT a
IF a = 1 THEN SHELL "DIR N*"
IF a = 2 THEN SHELL "DIR S*"
GOTO 10
Thank you, that helped a little. I have expaned on that a lot.

''Perhaps I have the syntax wrong?

Any helpful advice would be greatly appreciatedThis is wrong.

Code: [Select]set code= <code.ini
You need help with the set command.
Say this:
help set
And read it over.
for READING and parsing ini files, you can use vbscript
Code: [Select]Set objFS=CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
strFile = WScript.Arguments.Item(0)
WScript.Echo objFS.OpenTextFile(strFile).ReadLine

I need the hspice code oh wow

having worked on a circuit simulator (a SPICE clone for the Sinclair QL) in the 1980s I can TELL you that you need a much, much more specialised forum than this one, good though it is.

Hello, I am trying to create a screen capture program with Xvfb SERVER, ImageMagick and Khtml2PNG.
I seem to be having some issues and was hoping someone could help me out.

I have everything installed and working on a centos WHM/CPanel system and am able to generate the screen shots and save them to root folder from shell with the following commands.

Xvfb :2 -screen 0 1024x768x24&
export DISPLAY=localhost:2.0
khtml2png2 --SW 200 --sh 150 http://www.example.com example.png

It works 100% fine when you run it from shell.

I have created the following php script to run the exact same commands but get no RESULTS.

$connection = ssh2_connect('xxxxxxxxxxxxxx', 22);
ssh2_auth_password($connection, 'root', 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxx');

$stream = ssh2_exec($connection, 'Xvfb :2 -screen 0 1024x768x24&');
sleep(15);
$stream = ssh2_exec($connection, 'export DISPLAY=localhost:2.0');
sleep(2);
$stream = ssh2_exec($connection, 'khtml2png2 --sw 200 --sh 150 http://www.example.com example.png');
sleep(7);

echo "All done!";
?&GT;


Does anyone know why this would work fine from shell but NOT work at all when I run it from the php script?

My acer aspire laptop doesn't play some games such as call of duty 4, it just says 'Video card or driver doesn't support UBYTE4N vertex data' How can i solve this problem? Hello,
Did you Google that?
UBYTE4N
There are a number of references to this all over the Internet. You could've just did a Google by yourselves and found lots of people already had this problem. Anyway, the general story is that your hardware is just not compatible with that game. So, either forget the game, or buy new hardware.
If you think there should be a simpler answer, sorry, it's not likely.

But please do not go away mad. allow me to ask you about the vendor that sold you the software. He should have posted on his website information about the requirements for the game. If not, then you have a valid reason to ask for a refund. This is so even if you are ready open package. Here in the United States, I assume you BOUGHT it from a vendor here in the United States, there are laws regarding information and accuracy in ADVERTISING. If the game had been advertised in such a way as to imply or suggest that it would work on any of the newer COMPUTERS, including yours, then you would have reasonable cause to complain against this vendor.
If that says it's your case, we would like to know who that vendor is so that the rest of us can be aware.
in the future, go to the website http://www.canyourunit.com to see if you can run a gameQuote from: Geek-9pm on December 19, 2009, 01:09:23 PM

hello
Does somebody knows about RADIX 2 SRT division ?
I cant understand all of it !

z : dividend
d : divisor
Q : quotient
s : remainder

this is the algorithm(pseudo CODE) :

z = s(0)
for j=1 to k
if 2s(j-1) > 1/2 then
q(j) = 1;
s(j) = 2s(j-1) -d ;
els if s(j-1) <-1/2 then
q(j) = -1;
s(j) = 2s(j-1) +d ;
else
q(j) = 0;
s(j) = 2s(j-1);
end if ;
end for;


and this is an example :


z0.01000101
d0.1010
-d1.0110
=============================
s(0)0.01000101
2s(0)0.1000101>1/2 so q(-1)=1
+(-d)
=============================
s(1)1.1110101
2s(1)1.110101in [-1/2,1/2) so q(-2)=0
=============================
s(2)1.110101
2s(2)1.10101<-1/2 so q(-3)=-1
+d0.1010
=============================
s(3)0.01001
2s(3)0.1001>1/2 so q(-4)=1
+(-d)1.0110
=============================
s(4) 1.1111negative so add to correct
2s(4)0.1010
=============================
s(4)0.1001
s0.0000 1001
q0.10(-1)1uncorrect BSD quotient
q0.0110convert and subtract ulp

i think this is not true : (line 13)
s(2)1.110101
2s(2)1.10101<-1/2 so q(-3)=-1
+d0.1010

and what is "ulp" and how convert 0.1.(-1)1 to 0.0110 ?

I have a project I need to create a program for, but first I need to decide what language to learn in order to create the program. I'm considering Basic, C++ or Java, but any other suggestion would be nice. I've been asked if I could do this by some friends who are teachers here. They want to use it in a summer camp they're doing.

About the program:
The program is for a live-action, turn-based RPG of sorts. The program needs to keep TRACK of certain statistics, modifying the values each turn based on user input (values added from things like trade) and computer monitored statistics (levels that fluctuate each turn based on variables), display small pictures alongside text (jpg or other format of images contained in a folder with the program), and some other functions.

Layout:
There will be one main window which lists all of the statistics, has an "end turn" button, and also buttons to access a glossary of terms and to save certain final statistics to a text file for printing from another computer without the program (so printing from the program itself won't be necessary). The program will also need to create a save file, so the program can be closed and resumed later (as the game will take place over 3+ days). A pop-up window will be needed (or change within the same window) for entering of trade information with other players and possibly some other things.

Requirements:
Not many. It just needs to be an executable in the end and run in Windows XP. It doesn't have to be visually stunning or DEMANDING, as I believe the laptops they're using are a bit old, and they're all using XP.

Experience:
My programming experience is with Basic (not Visual Basic, but Basic) which I learnt in high school years ago. I also have a lot of experience with scripting for Neverwinter Nights, Neverwinter Nights 2, and Dragon Age (all pretty similar in their scripting), and from what I understand, that scripting language is supposed to be very similar to C++ or Java.

I have 3 months to learn a language and write this simple (well, seems simple to me) program. Which language would probably be the easiest to accomplish this with? I don't mind buying a book or spending a bit of money, just want to make sure I start down the right road before I GET going on this.if you want any future in this, learn C++, Java is pretty much deadQuote from: robin1232 on December 22, 2009, 04:26:29 PM

if you want any future in this, learn C++, Java is pretty much dead

A few years ago Java was the Great Next Thing!.

Do the project in Visual Basic.

You already have a project defined. So this is not about where the future. It is about getting a job done now that you can do with other people now.

But, if you must, here is a nice tutorial where a simple thing is done in both Visual Basic and C++ and the code is shown.

Your choice.

I have to second the Visual Basic idea. a lot easier to learn then C++, and C++ would be overkill anyway.

Basically, it boils down to wether you want to spend twice as long on the project just to have it in C++; Not usually something that is worth it.

And java... well, don't get me started on that "revolutionary" language that changed everything and yet changed nothing all at once.

Microsoft is doing very little to adopt stuff that is closely tied to UNIX.

Like C? Because, you know, it's only what windows is written in, after all.

Do you do web?
Microsoft® just launched Microsoft® WebsiteSpark™. It's a must-have program for independent web developers and web development companies, where you get software, support, and biz resources at no upfront cost for three years.
