Jump to PostYou can just paste the code in Code tags as part of your post. Experience shows that most people won't bother/dare to open a file attachment anyway.

OK, will do that then. Out of interest though, are .java files allowed? And is there an official list of allowed types?

one reason why a lot of people will ignore .jave, .class or .jar files (or other extensions from other languages): you don't actually know what the code does or will try to do on your system, and it might not be something you want it to do.

OK, so it's definitely ignored by the forum correct?
