Hey all,

Im doing some heavy calculations on my PC using visual studio 2010 and its taking ages to compute.

when i LOOK at SYSTEM process the PROGRAM is limited to using 50% of my CPU, do you know if there is anyway to increase this? or even better is there a supercomputer available for the public to use when doing heavy calculations>?how are you doing "heavy calculations" with Visual Studio?Quote from: BC_Programmer on January 26, 2011, 04:11:05 AM

how are you doing "heavy calculations" with Visual Studio?

Im trying to load "Microsoft Internet CONTROLS" COMPONENT but I got the ERROR "File not found..." etc.. but I managed to fix that by using RegEdit and CHANGING some value. But not it gives me the error ""C:\Window\system32\ieframe.dll" could not be loaded".

I am confuzzeld and need help prontoooo

THANKS!

I want to MAKE a Desktop, gadget-like program which will display my RSS feeds on the desktop, however I have no strong knowledge in programming so this is a problem =\

I have VISUAL Basic, im guessing I would be able to make it with that but not sure how.

Help anyone...?

THANKS Yea, this is the bit when you guys post

i just started to read C++ for dummys and i have coded a CONVERTER for tempature using the tutorial and when i run it through the compiler i get an error on line 13, the complier im using is dev C++ ....

could some one look through the code to see what the mistake is .. i have just started to LEAN C++

Code: [Select]//
// Program to convert temperature from Celsius degree units:
// units into Fahrenheit degree units:
// Farhrenheit = Celsius *(212 - 32)/100 +32
//
#include <cstdio>
#include <cstdlib>
using namespace std;
int main(int nNumberofargs, char* pszArgs[])
{
//ENTER the temperature in Celsius
int celsius;
cout << "Enter the temperature in Celsius :" ;
cin >> celsius;

// calculate cinversion factor for Celsius
// to Fahrenheit
intfactor;
factor = 212 -32;

// use conversion factor to convert Celsius
// into Fahrenheit values
int fahrenheit;
fahrenheit = factor * celsius/100 + 32 ;

//output the results (followed by Newline)
cout << Fahrenheit value is :";
cout << fahrenheit << endl ;

// wait untill user is READY befor terminating program
// to allow the user to see the program results
system( "PAUSE");
RETURN 0;
}
Not knowing much about C++, I found all the corrections on Google (hint, hint)

Code: [Select]//
// Program to convert temperature from Celsius degree units:
// units into Fahrenheit degree units:
// Farhrenheit = Celsius *(212 - 32)/100 +32
//
#include <cstdio>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main(int nNumberofargs, char* pszArgs[])
{
//enter the temperature in Celsius
int celsius;
cout << "Enter the temperature in Celsius :" ;
cin >> celsius;

// calculate cinversion factor for Celsius
// to Fahrenheit
int factor;
factor = 212 -32;

// use conversion factor to convert Celsius
// into Fahrenheit values
int fahrenheit;
fahrenheit = factor * celsius/100 + 32 ;

//output the results (followed by Newline)
cout << "Fahrenheit value is :";
cout << fahrenheit << endl ;

// wait untill user is ready befor terminating program
// to allow the user to see the program results
system( "PAUSE");
return 0;
}

1) cout and cin require a #include <iostream> statement
2) intfactor - two words; it's a declaration not a variable name
3) RETURN works as lowercase; C++ must be case sensitive

Once the compiler bugs are worked out, the program seems to work. Any plans to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius?

Good luck.

Hello everyone

I want to DELETE a file CREATED by automated windows 7 (integrated in windows 7 DVD). Before I added the bold line " del /f /q %systemroot%\setup" to the script below, the computer restarted automatically after windows installation was finished . The script does delete the files in "%systemroot%\setup", but it does not restart automatically after windows installation is over, as it did before adding that line. I know i messed it up (my fault). I'm sure I missed something with the script SYNTAX. What shoul I do to make it work/restart as before?

Thanks in advance

Script:

@ECHO off

for %%A in (C: D: E: F: G: H: I: J: K: L: M: N: O: P: Q: R: S: T: U: V: W: X: Y: Z do (
if exist %%A\bootmgr (
if not exist %%A\setup.exe (
echo.
echo Installing to drive %%A
echo.
if exist %%A\menu.lst attrib %%A\menu.lst -h -r -s

I am working on a small game in VB6. All of my sounds are in OGG format. I found a DLL here: http://www.blastbay.com/oggdec.php
I can't get it to work fully with VB. I can get it to decode the OGG and save it as a WAV file, but I need it to play from RAM. I think the problem is that I am getting the declarations wrong because it was INDENTED to be used in C. Can someone help me get this to decode into RAM and play the decoded data through the speakers?

I am sure BC can answer this. . . Right?


Thanks.Anyone know?

I'd rather have an answer saying "I don't know" , not just ignoring my post.I Shall attempt to create VB6 compatible declarations.

I've had great success using two other libraries- BASS and IRRKlang; they aren't public domain like this one, but they aren't a pain to use (they include VB6 declarations and SAMPLES, even).

Quote

I Shall attempt to create VB6 compatible declarations.

Could you post that

By the way: the DLL only decodes the data; it doesn't actually provide any way to play it.

Then use my utility found here: http://www.mediafire.com/?ga696x3j2ar4jna

If they have already installed 7-zip they can just use the right-click context menu to turn it into a SFX Archive.

Could somebody PLEASE explain to me how to make a MultiLine textbox scroll to the bottom automatically? I am using VB .NET 2010. I just can't figure it out.

%FLEEXYSet the selection start to the end of the textbox and USE the ScrollToCaret() method:

Code: [SELECT]textBox1.SelectionStart=textBox1.Text.Length
textBox1.ScrollToCaret()
You could do other things as WELL, such as saving the original caret position or any selections that were made, depending on when you are triggering this CHANGE and how you are using the textbox.

Hello, good evening.

I'm having a hard time with this on how to search and compare the STRING array to the TEXTBOX, and REPLACE the text in the textbox.

Here's my code:
Code: [Select]import javax.microedition.midlet.*;
import javax.microedition.lcdui.*;
import javax.microedition.lcdui.TextBox;
import javax.microedition.lcdui.CommandListener;
import javax.microedition.lcdui.Command;

public class TextBoxMIDlet extends MIDlet implements CommandListener
{
private Display display;
private static String[] txtWord = {"txt","spk","lol","np","brb"};
private static String[] realWord = {"text","speak","laugh out loud","no problem","be right back"};
private Command txtspk = new Command("CORRECT Textspeak", Command.ITEM, 0);
private Command exit = new Command("Exit", Command.EXIT, 0);
private TextBox t;

public TextBoxMIDlet() {
display = Display.getDisplay(this);
}

public void startApp() {
t = new TextBox ("TextBox Example", null, 256, TextField.ANY);
t.addCommand(txtspk);
t.addCommand(exit);
t.setCommandListener(this);
display.setCurrent(t);
}

public void pauseApp() {}

public void destroyApp(boolean UNCONDITIONAL){}

public void commandAction(Command command, Displayable displayable)
{
if (command == exit)
{
destroyApp(true);
notifyDestroyed();
}
if (command == txtspk)
{
for(int a = 0; a < txtWord.length; a++)
{
if(t.getString().equalsIgnoreCase(realWord[a]))
{
t = t.getString().substring(realWord[a]);
}
}
System.out.println(t);
}
}
}
I'm having a problem with this this part:
Code: [Select] if (command == txtspk)
{
for(int a = 0; a < txtWord.length; a++)
{
if(t.getString().equalsIgnoreCase(realWord[a]))
{
t = t.getString().substring(realWord[a]);
}
}
System.out.println(t);
}
I don't know how to figure it out. What's the exact syntax should I put there?

Hope someone will help me with this.

Thanks advance.Anyone?Quote from: SHENGTON on January 20, 2011, 09:20:41 AM

I really dont know much about programming so i'm asking for alot of help. I am trying to convert a SOURCE into a .exe file that anyone can install. The source is the nintendo 64 emulator 1964 version 1.1. Can anyone offer some help with this matter?Pardon me. If you don't know now to do it why would you want to?

People who work with that kind of material have to have a knowledge of what they are doing. I is not the sort of ting that the average computer user would do. Instead, one would download an exe ready to go. One that someone else has already compiled, linked, debugged, tested and evaluated. Otherwise, novice offering a new untested program to others is no favor at all.

I am trying to add the new version of 1964 to a emulation website, but the way the uploader is set up is the real problem. It only allows .exe programs to be upoaded. I have a linux laptop if that would help me.

Enroll in a "C" programming course at your junior college. The college will furnish all computers and the "C" complier.

The complier will convert the "C” source code to an .exe executable. If the source code is not "C", choose the complier that converts (COMPLIES) the source code you have.

p.s. You must decide which programming course and language you need. Good Luck

Dear sir
I want to learn software/programming. I heared that for this we have to start from c language.Is it correct? if yes,
can u suggest me any free tutorial whcih can I download in PDF formate in my computer?I know only word and excel to use.

Thanks

While It certainly doesn't hurt, you don't need to know how your instrument works to make music.

Sometime in the future we may not program our computers.
We will talk ton them.

Try to learn from w3schools.com !! its great ...

After using windows for to make batch files for a while, i decided to upgrade. I now have Ubuntu and am going to learn C programming. How do i start? do i need a program to write the SCRIPTS in, like eclipse for Java or what?
Thanks

Programming in C is almost programming in assembly.
Learn C++. It is a 'middle' language.It nis much easier to get started.

um... no it's not. C++ is a superset of C. Therefore by definition it will be harder to learn. It's sort of like saying "don't bother learning basic arithmetic, you should start with calculus"

C++ includes the stuff ... cplusplus.com has a great tutorial so you may want to start here!

I recommend w3schoos.com is also good !!

I WANT write a program that forks a copy of itself. The PARENT should ask the user for an integer. The PARENT should SEND that integer through a pipe to the CHILD. The CHILD should do something with it and send it back through a pipe to the parent. The PARENT should print out the integer.

I know how to fork but I do not know how to communicate with PIPES. Please help by providing me with a good site to READ up on c++ pipes and what the code is to send and receive through pipes in c++.

Thank you

i made a program to GET the factors for a NUMBER but i get weird answers back such as Quote

20 has these factors 3999008,3999008,0,0,0,0

1) why should i use endl instead of /n

2)is this the most efficient method of getting factors

I am curious as to if there is a better way to write an output to a file using PERL than the method that I am using below, which is a mixture of PERL and DOS(batch):

system "echo $a $b $c >>WriteList.txt";


Where variables $a, $b, and $c are passed directly into the Echo output of a DOS Shell batched type of environment which then uses the >> redirection and append to EOF to write the output of PERL's variable strings to text file.

*This does work, but to me it just seems sloppy to have to pass variables outside of PERL into a SYSTEM call which then runs as if you were in DOS. The same SYSTEM(" "); call can also be run in C++ and perform the same passing of variables out of C++ into DOS command lines, BUT C++ has its FILE OPEN, Write, and FILE CLOSE function so that you dont need to perform a SYSTEM Call. So that is why I am thinking that I am running this in an ugly frankensteined state, which just happens to work. And figured I'd check to see if someone with more PERL experience might point out how to perform this without a frankensteined method of mixed guts!

The other thing I have to figure out is why I can only write a maximum of 60,000 lines per hour with this program on both a Pentium 3 (600Mhz) and a Dual-Core Atom. Thinking that maybe the excessive Open/Close >> appending might be hammering the drive and wasting time. But the HD LED does not stay on constant, so I dont think that is the problem. Because if the HD was being flooded with file open/close's I WOULD expect to see a solid LED lit and lots of drive arm rattling..lol

Was thinking that maybe if I printed out 100 lines then wrote to file, it might be more HD friendly and might execute faster, but the CPU on the P3 is pegged at 100% and the Dual-Core Atom is hovering between 53-60% and both when timed were executing the program the same speed pretty much at a little less than 30,000 lines written in 30 minutes. With close to 450,000 lines to write, this is going to take a while, and it seems that even throwing faster processing power at it isnt going to help me for some reason the way that i have it currently executing.Yes, it would be better to read and write files inside of pearl.
http://perl.about.com/od/perltutorials/a/readwritefiles.htm
The above is a basic tutorial on pearl open, read and write. And don't forget to close when done.
Here is one on append.
http://www.pageresource.com/cgirec/ptut15.htmopen the file...
Code: [Select]open(APPENDFILE,">>WriteList.txt") || die("Error opening WriteList.txt");
print to the file
Code: [Select]print APPENDFILE "$a $b $c";
close the file:
Code: [Select]close(APPENDFILE);

If you are looping in some way as you output the data or otherwise are outputting more then once per script run you should open the file early on, perform all the writes on it, and then close it.


By the way, shelling out to any other application to perform a task is always going to be slower then performing that same task in the same environment. Setting up Process INFORMATION and starting a new task is a very expensive operation. Also, doing it that way is a rather ugly kludge.if you are using Perl, then use Perl. There is no need to use batch any more than calling the Perl interpreter to run your Perl script.
Always looks at the documentation for what you need. And I suggest you dive deeper into the language (if you want) because it can practically replace batch for what you are doing. Plus, there are humongous amount of libraries you can use to do other complex stuff, eg big integer maths, pdf generation, HTML parsing , etc...Quote from: Geek-9pm on December 29, 2010, 08:50:24 PM

Yes, it would be better to read and write files inside of pearl.

Perl was originally named "Pearl," after the Parable of the Pearl from the Gospel .

But I guess you are to young to know that.

Wrong. Being "named" and being "officially used" are two different things. Before Perl, there's also a PEARL language (since 1977). after that, Larry changed the spelling to Perl. Get that in your head.

A pearl is a round shiny object produced by mollusks and used in jewelry.

Pearl may also REFER to:
# Pearl (given name)
# Bruce Pearl (born 1960), head basketball coach - University of Tennessee
# Daniel Pearl (1963–2002), American journalist who was kidnapped and murdered in Pakistan
Canada
* Pearl, Ontario

[edit] Hungary
* Gyöngyös, a town whose name means "Made of Pearls"

[edit] Iceland
* The Pearl (Perlan), a 1991 landmark building in Reykjavík, Iceland
# The Pearl, an 1867 legal case; see: List of United States Supreme Court cases, volume 72
# Polar Environment Atmospheric RESEARCH Laboratory, an Arctic Atmospheric laboratory at Eureka, Nunavut, Canada
# Pearl (color), a pale tint of off-white. It is a representation of the average color of a pearl
# Pearl (radio play), a 1978 radio play by award-winning English playwright John Arden
# Pearl (DART station)
....

Wall discovered the existing PEARL programming language before Perl's official release and changed the spelling of the name.

When referring to the language, the name is normally capitalized (Perl) as a proper noun.

Larry Wall began work on Perl in 1987, while working as a programmer at Unisys,[7] and released version 1.0 to the comp.sources.misc newsgroup on December 18, 1987.[8] The language expanded rapidly over the next few years.

Perl 2, released in 1988, featured a better regular expression engine. Perl 3, released in 1989, added support for binary data streams.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perl

Perl can refer to:
* Perl, a programming language.

Place names
* Perl, Germany, a municipality in Saarland, Germany

Last names
* Hille Perl, a German musician who performs the viola da gamba and the lirone
* Martin Lewis Perl, an American physicist and Nobel Prize laureate

Thanks everyone for the useful info...plus also about the Perl name history =) never knew PERL has been around since 1977. To just think I might have been able to play with PERL on my TRS-80 way way back..lol
