Nice!

Do you mean like

rd /q/s C:\DOCUME~1\John\Cookies
rd /q/s C:\DOCUME~1\Jill\Cookies
rd /q/s C:\DOCUME~1\Johann\Cookies

?

It is always great to give a nice, complete example and to be completely ignored not only at the time the example was given, but also a full year later.

It is because you have misunderstood something.

A string is not a simple POD type -- it is an object type -- which you cannot write directly to file (according to Delphi standards [and also ISO...

I suggest you take a read through The Function Pointer Tutorials (http://www.newty.de/fpt/), particularly this one (http://www.newty.de/fpt/fpt.html#r_value).

I would use some typedefs to help:

If you have actually fork()ed (or spawn()ed) a child process, and you just want to check whether or not it has terminated, you want the waitpid() (http://linux.die.net/man/2/waitpid) function.

A std::vector is guaranteed to maintan contiguous data space -- meaning it cannot handle really large data.

Use a std::deque instead. I looks much the same, but the data need not be stored...

There is no simple answer.

You might want to look through The GUI Toolkit, Framework Page (http://www.free-soft.org/guitool/).

TrollTech Qt is a good choice if you can use it -- it has some...

You should read up on virtual methods.

You don't need to use strcat()... Please don't suggest using the C string library to manipulate C++ strings.

AD already addressed your question. You should be using getline() to get user input:

The first thing you need to do is break your dependence on the system() function. It spawns a new shell (cmd.exe, probably), changes the directory for that new shell, then terminates. Your program's...

Sorry I was so grouchy.

There are differences in the make between POSIX and Windows, as well as some problems with the MSYS make (which is POSIX, AFAIK).

You should be using your ~MinGW\bin\mingw32-make.exe program when...

Well, Hiroshe, since your brain power is obviously so much greater than mine, the answer to your input question is simply: you've already figured it out.

Writing portable code has nothing to do...

johnyjj2 if you really want help, please post your code.

What you've listed so far is nonsense.

Standard C doesn't have any concept of console or graphics displays. Hence, what you are trying to do is technically impossible.

If you are using a graphics library then you should be able to get...

Wow, look a gift horse in the mouth...

If the library that ships with your OS isn't sufficient, or you want something portable (which <conio.h> isn't, BTW), try NCurses.

For Windows:...

It would, as VernonDozier suggested, be easy enough to code your own version...

Here's a simple stab at it:

Whitespace between the keyword end and the period is not significant.

Perhaps you should post more code? It is hard to diagnose what is wrong.

With FPC, you must be sure to have the {$goto on}...

Standard C doesn't have anything to do with it.

You need to modify the input stream's mode to "unbuffered". You probably want to turn off "echo" also.

Both of these things are OS-dependent...

Check out the <csetjmp> (http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/clibrary/csetjmp/) library.

Don't mess with the stack. Otherwise you invite death.

The GCC does not supply gotoxy() with <conio.h>.

Since it is a Windows program, why not use the SetConsoleCursorPosition() (http://www.google.com/search?btnI=1&q=msdn+SetConsoleCursorPosition)...

Unfortunately I never did have much time to sink into it, so I never did figure out what caused it. I still think it has to do with memory paging or something...

I just optimized the tar out of...

In both instances you are misusing the GetCDHandle() (http://akrip.sourceforge.net/api/api3_4.html) function.

The function takes a pointer to an extant GETCDHAND struct.

Sorry to respond to this late... but I wanted to post info also...

The getline() function has the obnoxious habit of returning a not good() stream for final blank fields...

For a single blank...

It is easy enough with the mouse events.

The MouseMove event handler should do something like the following pseudocode:

Unfortunately, there really isn't a very amazing way to do directory browsing natively.

That aside, there is also useful information like this:
Centering the Select Directory dialog...

You are looking at the form resource data. Essentially, when the original program was written (in Delphi), the programmer used a TImage component in the forms designer, double clicked the Picture...

No, it isn't solved. Wait until it is. ;-)

Eh, why not?

According to the Delphi documentation, the TScreen.Fonts only lists "screen" fonts. You may want to also check in TPrinter.Fonts, as the font you want is technically for use with the printer...

The .DFM file is linked into the executable as an RCDATA resource, which is just a compressed text version of the .DFM file (a few versions of Delphi save the DFM in compressed format, but most do...

I agree with AD that the FTP is probably what is going wrong.

FTP defaults to text mode. You must explicitly set it to binary mode before copying files.

What are you writing? An OS?

We're not a translation service. You may want to try the Looking to Hire (http://www.daniweb.com/forums/forum72.html) forum.

I don't currently have access to Solaris ATM... alas, but perhaps it is something as simple as needing a blank line after each target:

The wait() (http://linux.die.net/man/2/wait) function monitors the state of a process, not its I/O streams. What you really want is the poll() (http://linux.die.net/man/2/poll) or select()...

Alas, the OP want's to know how to insert those obnoxious commas (,) in between digits.

Remember to use integer division and modulo (remainder) to split numbers apart (/ and %).
