Exactly. Please show your work, and we'll help you troubleshoot your code.

What's it doing/not doing?

Posting code is one thing, but if you describe what is supposed to happen, someone can help you target what the problem is.

Thread closed. Please don't double-post.

You can program Access databases with VB, I know that for a fact. VBA is just a subset of VB, if I'm not mistaken.

Are you sure you shouldn't be posting this in the VB forum? That sounds like a...

Can't you just post a link to the source code, rather than keep pasting it into this thread?

It does work. The "Command Prompt", as it is called, supports a range of DOS commands. cls, for instance, is one of them.

baboon4000:

Don't make duplicate postings on this forum. You already asked your question. If no one can answer it, we can't help you. Otherwise, you'll just have to be patient and wait for...

Lay off the caps, there, friend-- no need to shout. I didn't see any code posted where you attempted that yourself. We can't help if you don't show some code to troubleshoot-- we're not here to write...

Please don't label your thread as Urgent-- it implies that your problem is more important than others. Help is given here on a first-come, first-served basis.

Isn't asking "What's the best compiler" like asking "What's the best text editor/OS/Language/Deity/etc"?

Let me remind everyone that we're here to help. If you have beef with someone, take it up...

Seriously. It's a help forum here. Isn't a little counterproductive to go,

you don't know why you shouldn't use goto? Well, I'm not going to tell you!!! :p

Share the knowledge, and I'll learn...

Exactly.

You're not really helping by writing their code for them-- that's helping folks cheat.

Don't be a crutch.

I think that's called cheating when you're supposed to write the app on your own...

How is it against the GPL? Sounds like he was just trying to use the software as an example. He gave you his modified source, but you just didn't understand it until now ;)

"Image hosted by Tripod" was the picture I got...

Do not do people's homework for them. Please read this:

Have you tried taking the source for a program like pico or ee, and looking over them for ideas? Prior work is everywhere in this situation.

VeG,

Stop hijacking other people's threads. I deleted your offtopic comments from other threads, and the only reason why I'm leaving this one up is to send you a message. Please start another...

eastgate:

tags. Learn them. Use them. I was going to edit all of your comments and add them, but they're way too long to go through them all. Please use tags in all of your code posting, so we...

Folks, start your own threads. With the length of this thread, it's more than likely your requests for help will be ignored.

Oh great... yet another language she can rip on people for. Thanks a lot, gang! ;)

:D

if you're opening pico from a command line, couldn't you just type the path to the file as an argument?

pico /path/to/file.c

It's possible that they're poking at you because you didn't post any code. Please read the Announcement (http://daniweb.com/techtalkforums/announcement.php?f=8&announcementid=2).

Even if this...

Okay, let's let this thread fall to the depths of oblivion. I think we've debated this argument to its reasonable conclusion....

If anything, let's not get back to the flames. Please keep things civil here, lest I be forced to close the thread.

Why the repost? Just keep posting in the other thread.

Okay, this post was needlessly stabby, if I may say so. If you've looked anywhere through the forum, you'd see that Narue and 1o0oBhP both know a thing or two about programming, not that they need...

I think what they're trying to say is there might not be a simple way of doing it. I don't think you'll find some do_what_i_want_it_to_do(); function out there to plug into your program. This may be...

I know.

But, instead of posting it to a forum, get to coding. Someone here might be able to help you, but I'm focused on how your post seemed to convey a sense of urgency that we're not required...

That's nice. I need a new car, I need the vehicle, as soon as possible. Let's both sit here and wait to see who gets one first.

It's okay to post a question like this, as you've shown some...

You probably won't be able to do as you've described. But, you should be able to at least install the actual program files to the hard drive, if available space was a concern.

That figure just for VC++.NET doesn't startle me too much. My "Typical" install of the entire Visual Studio.NET Enterprise Architect takes up nearly 5 GB if you count the MSDN documentaton.

Why didn't I close this thread initially as off-topic?

It's cool to post stuff like this, just in the appropriate forum. Feel free to take this discussion to the Geek's Lounge, where off-topic...

Just by searching Google with the terms "c++" + "regexp", I came up with a header called <regexp.h> , for whatever that's worth.

please don't name your threads like this anymore.

Urgent::need help is just plain rude. It implies your thread is more important than others, when this forum prioritizes help requests on a first...

Christmas is not about subverting software demo protections, I'm afraid. I'm sure you were being lighthearted about your suggestion, but I had to delete it all the same. Let me go ahead and let...

Yes, numerous times. Good catch ;) Shows how useful the search function is, right?

Can you do us all a favor? Plz don't uz AOLspk in hr. U dont need 2 uz cute wurdz here.

If you're asking for help in a forum, the absolute best thing you can do is be as clear as possible, which...

Have you tried browsing the source for the Linux fdformat for ideas? It does all of that stuff, IIRC.

Not meaning to sound rude at all. I'm just stating the obvious there, and in fact showing you what we're all about. We're here to help, so you don't need to ask for it! :D I'm just making a silly...
