What do you mean by "command line stuff"? This is very vague. System() can be used to control your program, yes, using commands like "PAUSE" and "CLS," however I would suggest using something like...

Yeah, I didn't understand a thing you said. Can you maybe explain in English, then we can help you.

Why don't you do as the error message says and replace the dot with a space?

No problem. I hope you become good at GUI C++ programming. We need more C++ programmers...

If you are using Windows, then you can use the Windows API to complete your task. Otherwise, for cross platform GUI Programming (for Linux/UNIX/Mac) use something else like Tcl/Tk or Qt4.

Is this for a homework assignment? If it is, show some effort before asking for us to do it for you.

I mean I guess you could do something like

if (usersGuess > random) {
cout << "Too high!" << endl;
}
if (usersGuess < random) {
cout << "Too low!" << endl;
}
else {
cout...

I don't see the problem with DirectX. It's fine for what you're trying to do. And the people that say "I hate Microsoft," stop ranting about it. Face it, the world uses Windows, and there's nothing...

Yes, there is. Not with just built in C++, as far as I know, but using Qt4, as I do, you can. You can also use Tcl/Tk with C++ (I think...). With the book "C++ GUI Programming With Qt4" by Jasmin...

You need to, in Dev-C++, make a new project file, and then make a new source file (File -> New -> Source File) and name it "main.cpp".

Thank you for the information! You've helped a lot. I do have experience with writing parsers and doing network programming, so I think I'll give it a crack. Thanks again.

-- Hehe, I'd give you...

How would one go about doing such a task in C++?


EDIT: Rephrase: Would it be easy for one to complete this task? I don't want you to do it for me, that would be very stupid, seeing as I want to...

Would it be possible to write a proxy in C++? I mean a CLI application that would take a users input (a site name) and open Internet Explorer / FireFox to that page, bypassing network restrictions...

YES! Now how do I add to your rep?

And my school doesn't have a compiler. I mean like having qbasic on a flashdrive -- no installer needed, but I can run applications and program there... Is there a premade compiler that is for that?

It does install registry settings. I use Dev-C++ as my main IDE (when I use an IDE that is). I guess I'll have to deal. And how does this "seem illegal"? I just want to program a bit at school where...

I have a 2gig flashdrive. Are there any that can actually be installed on it?

I don't think you understand what I'm asking. I mean like a compiler that I can put on my flashdrive so that I can program and execute cpp files at school.

Well, I was just wondering. You saying portable has awoken another question: Is there a portable ide/compiler that I can put on a flashdrive (no installer, preferrably) that I can use at school and...

Is there a way to open, say, cout, and edit it to your own personal use?

On another account I had Visual Basic 2005 .NET, but I wiped the account about a week ago.

Hehe. I know that it's a lot more than 11 mb, but thanks about the .net framework -- I had to make a new user because my old one was corrupt on this pc. I'll install it now.

EDIT: Uhg same error...

Sure!

Express Edition, all of them fail when installing. (I need Visual C++, C#, and J#)

Thanks for the suggestion, but that's what I've been doing all along. Firefox doesn't let me just "Run" the application, so I save it to my desktop and then run it. Same error.

Yes. It was an ~11MB download. I've tried redownloading about 5 times now, same error.

I downloaded the installer for Visual C++ from the Microsoft website, and when I run it, I get this error message (below).

Help me!

I know. I was just saying that I'm gonna stick with Dev-C++. I might buy 5.5...

I'll stick with Dev-C++... Borlan 4.52 doesn't support using namespace std; and #include <iostream> for some reason (HELP!)...

Thank you very much for your quick response! You responded to my other post in seconds flat as well...

Before I start, is Borland C++ free? Or do you have to pay money for it?

Second, I found a Borland C++ 4.5.2 CD in my dad's old computer bag. If I install it on XP, will it have any compatibility...
