i recommend starting with C++ as well but i also recommend you just learn the basics and when you get those good and done then work your way up into all the more complicated stuff :) good luck

Private Sub Form_Load()

is the correct syntax

click on one of the links above :) and if they are all taken then ask and give your name and email addy to send it too :)

yeah that is really close to spam and for the fact that there really isnt enough radiation comeing out of your computer to hurt you. i have dont a science project on this and i know that the numbers are so little that it dont even matter. if i have to i can pull out my report and find out the numbers coming from the monitor :)

i believe you can but im not exactly sure how you would get this working

http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/siddarth20000228.php3

that is the first site that game up when searching for php and ms access :) good luck

you could use mysql for free just thought i would throw that out :)

dont know exactly what i was doing wrong as i havent taken time to compare the code that i was give but here is what works

// file: main.cpp
 // author: Kyle Kjorsvik
 // date: 8/31/04
 // class: CSIS 352
 
 // This is the file that contains the main function for assignment 1.
 
 #include <iostream>
 #include <fstream>
 #include <string>
 #include "date.h"
 //#include "inout.h"
 //#include "agecalc.h"
 //#include "data.h"
 
 using namespace std;
 
 struct birthdate{
 	string name;
 	string bdate;
 };
 
 int main() {
 	const int maxvalue = 10;
 	birthdate bd[maxvalue + 1];
 	int i = 0, j;
 
 	ifstream inFile("data");
 	if (inFile.fail()) {
 		cerr << "An error occurred. Unable to read input file." << endl;
 		exit(1);
 	}
 	cout << "File opened" << endl;
 
 	while(!inFile.eof() && i < maxvalue) {
 		getline(inFile, bd[i].name, ',');
 		getline(inFile, bd[i].bdate);
 		++i;
 	}
 	inFile.close();
 
 	for (j=i-1; j>=0; j--){//print backwards for giggles
 		cout << "\t" << bd[j].name << "\t" << bd[j].bdate << endl;
 	}
 
 	return 0;
 }

Ok my problem is i have a struct and im tring to ready a line into the array of structs using fstream. here is the code i have its just a basic layout of what will come later on. but here it is :)

// file: main.cpp
    // author: Kyle Kjorsvik
    // date: 8/31/04
    // class: CSIS 352
    
    // This is the file that contains the main function for assignment 1.
    
    #include <iostream>
    #include <fstream>
    #include <string>
    #include "date.h"
    //#include "inout.h"
    //#include "agecalc.h"
    //#include "data.h"
    
    using namespace std;
    
    struct birthdate
    {
    		char name[];
    		char bdate[];
    };
    
    int main()
    {
    		char chrName[25];
    		int maxvalue = 10;
    		birthdate bd[maxvalue + 1];
    		int i = 0;
    
    		ifstream inFile("data"); // input file
    		if (inFile.fail())
    		{
 			 cerr << "An error occurred. Unable to read input file." << endl;
    				exit(1);
    		}
    		cout << "File opened" << endl;
    
    		while(!inFile.eof())
    		{
 				inFile.get(bd[i].name[],25,",");
    			    //cout << bd[i].name << endl;
    				++i;
    		}
    
    		inFile.close();
    		return 0;
    }

and here is the file i am reading in

i need to read it in sperating the name and the birthdate. using the comma as the seperator. can someone help me on how i should be reading this into the array of structs? thanks

edit: if you need more info let me know :)

in my mind calc is harder but then again i love programming. i used to love math till i didnt touch any math classes for 2 years then i took trig my 3rd year of college and it almost killed me. but its all depends on the person :)

phpBB is suppose to be caught up with vb and invision by the time 2.2 comes out. but im not sure :) we will just have to wait and see

welcome to the forums :)
i believe this is the 3 time i have said welcome :) great to see you again eric bland :)

Hello . i'm posting on behalf of my friend who can't access the net . He's installed linux redhat 9.0 in graphical mode and choosed minimum installation . He's formatted the drives and his hd is 30gb . He was asked to choose a password while installing . After the installation process completed , he had to give his username as " root " and his choosen password to get in . The problem is , he can't see anything in graphical mode . All he sees after logging in as the root user is something like " rootuser@localhost root " and nothing else . please provide directions on how to get to the mouse-dependent desktop environment and how not to log in as root and the benifit of doing so .

well you said he choose minimal install. and with a minimal isntall that doesnt include gui. it only leaves the basic stuff. so have him reinstall but this time dont choose minimal :)

atleast im pretty sure that minimal doesnt include gui. i cant remember as it has been quite some time. so if the startx doesnt work my guess is it is not install :)

it is a nice feature. on some forums its all i use to look at posts. i dont use it here but on most niche sites i do where everything is about the same thing :)

is this os goin to be a complete full featured os. if so i think you are goin to have a hell of a time trying to get all the features you want out of this just using assembly. i would create as much as you can with assembly and then do the rest in C. i think it would just make things easier on you :) but do the main development in assembly

Ok tell me you created a boot floppy disc. :)

well if not you can put the rescue cd in that they have online and boot from there and re-install grub to the master boot record. you dont need to re install linux :)

download area
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/2/i386/iso/

im not sure but i think you could use the core 2 rescue disk to get into your core 1 install. well it should work so download this file
FC2-i386-rescuecd.iso at the addy above :) and give that a try and then re
instal grub once you are in

good luck guys and gals :)

I dont believe there is actually. but maybe im wrong.

the only way i could think that that would work. is if you where to set up a resellers account with some hosting company that way you can instead of reselling the extra space you just keep the extra space and set yourself up with multiple accounts :) well good luck :)

No Problem im here to help :)

http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/other-formats/html_single/IPCHAINS-HOWTO.html

I personally have never had that problem with vb. I dont know what the problem could be but if i can come up with something i will let you know :)

yeah i also recommend learning by doing as that is really the best way to do anything with linux. if you cant figure it out you can ask here, just linux. or <shamelessplug> http://www.linuxforums.org <-i mod there </shamelessplug> but they are all great places and then the best place of all to help get something done with linux is google.com/linux you will learn that that is your best friend when learning linux it helps alot but the forums at linuxforums.org helped me the most :)

well i had never heard of it but it seems pretty interesting :)

welcome to daniweb :)

i dont believe there are any forum software that come completely search engine friendly. and for vb at 160 for an owned lisence is not to bad for a great piece of software. but invision atleast you can use it for free but you wont get any support out of invision themselfs unless you buy a lisence and i have heard that when 2.0 comes out you will have a little tag at the bottom of the forum that says trail version. but if you would want invision support you are paying 199 for a owned license for ever :) but i dont know. i really like invision and there is alot that really like vb. it is an on going debate between forum owners :)

yeah i would recommend using the mod_rewrite i personally havent used it yet on my invision forum but i know you can. and there is also a search engine friendly mod that you can add to the invision forum i personally havent had much problem getting indexed but i need to do the mod_rewrite to get more of my pages indexed :)

rent-a-coder.com :) they have ppl looking for ppl to program for them but the amount ppl are willing to pay is alittle lower then one would like probably but you can put your own bids in and everything. if you do this let us know how it goes. i have been thinking about using the site but havent gotten time lately :)

i would recommend php as i personally find it the best solution for creating web pages :) cgi is pretty good using perl but perl is stronger as a system scripting language instead of a web language php is probably your best choice for web programming :)

to compile i believe you would run javac file.java and it should compile and to run it you would just use java file.class
and that should do it i believe :) you will have to locate these 2 files on your system javac and java i but not sure. this is of course if you are just running a command line program and not an applet :)
http://www.iam.ubc.ca/guides/javatut99/native1.1/stepbystep/

i have always just used text pad to do all my java stuff in cause you can set it up to compile and run your program :)

you would save it as a .php file and then you will have to upload it to your server that has php running on it and what it should look like is that it will pring hello world in the body of the html doc :)

yes they can i currently have linux running on my laptop which is a toshiba pc with nothing that is different when the computer shipped with win xp :)

do you run your own mail server on your server? if so here is a gnu program that mite help out http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/

here is another one i have heard good things about too
http://www.greatcircle.com/majordomo/

i have never used either of them but they both my be great software :)

it makes sense. you could go back to using the domain techtalkforums.com that was a great domain for the site :D

and then just use daniweb.com for your own personal web site

i personally ask ppl to be mods when they are trusted members of the community. if they seem to answer alot of posts and are knowledgable in the subject matter and i trust them to give them the power to be a mod then i will ask them to be a mod for the site :)

personally not really. the only reason i would think that a person would feel that way is that the forums that have corperate backing tend to be huge sites with over 30,000 members and out of that many members there is probably quite a few ppl that know alot of what they are talking about. i know that when i need a quick answer i will sometimes go to one of the bigger corperate sites as you can normally get someone to post an answer for you with in a min or two after posting and if not atleast it has been read by alot of ppl and hopefully they will know soon. but i also dont like the idea at bigger sites you have a better chance of getting flamed by other members who think your question was stupid and you dont see that with close-knit community forums like this one. pretty much everyone is pretty laid back and will help out no matter how stupid the question is :)

i would have to say that a site can grow and be great even if the admin never posts more then a few times a week if that. cause i have seen it happen before and but i would have to say that i always like seeing the admin the forums posting when they get the chance because it shows that that they care about the site. i also believe that mods do a great job at keeping this and all forums running ;) but the behind the scenes stuff is just as important as the posts and the community :)

i like the idea of a close-knit community where it feels more like a family :) that is why i like this place and linuxforums.org they both have no corporate backing and i like it that way. it just feels like you know the people that use the forum better. the few forums that i use that have a corporate backing are more formal and you dont feel they know you very well :)

i think we should do another contest ;) as i have a new site i want to put up for the vote ;)

C++ :) its would beable to do everything you want it to and would be a stand alone exe file :) and you can get compilers free for it :)

im goin to say the very few times i use IE i use the google toolbar :) its really nice i like it

i know what you mean as i am just like that but have found that i need to talk more so i can get more info out of ppl so i know what i am actually suppose to do on a project :)

well from my year of work experience is that the more you can communicate when being give a project the more you will get to start the project as what kind of specifications are wanted and what not. if you cant communcate well you will be give a very vague discriptions of what they want and it isnt that easy to figure out what is wanted of the program you are suppose to write for them. :) just my 2 cents :)

im not sure if this tutioral will help you out much but it mite
http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3100

this is a tut about getting winmodems that have a lucent chip set working. if you find out your modem isnt lucent let us know i can find a few more tuts about winmodems that dont use the lucent chipset :)

yeah i just didnt tell the admin at linuxforums.org (where i mod too) that i am modding over here to. if so i cant remember tho :)

but as for what distro i would say start out with say fedora get the feel of linux or something like that but if you really want to get down and dirt with linux you should think about a different distro like slackware (best distro in my mind ;) ) or gentoo. but the problem with gentoo is that it has not installer at all but this also means that you learn alot just installing the system :) and slackware is the oldest distro of linux available today as for on the 11th of this month it will be exactly 11 years old :) and it is probably the most unix like distro out there :) its really not that hard to get installed on my first time i messed on on the boot stuff but my second time i had it in a few seconds and have never had a problem since :) i say it is my favorite distro. but you will hear this from everyone and everyone will ahve a different opinion on the best distro out there everyone supports there own distro :)

edit: i just relized how many smiles i used lol

i believe that you should really learn linux as well since as stated before it is in the unix family so much of what you learn will beable to be used on any unix box. that is what i have noticed anyway. the two books mentioned above are great books as they are o'reilly books and i find that any book from them is normally not notch :)
i have also heard that the linux bible books are great too. they have them for specific distros as well :)
and as for a linux suport site my fav would have to be <shamelessplug> www.linuxforums.org </shamelessplug> :)

but this site is also great for linux help as there are ppl here from many different linux support forums :) like me from linuxforums.org and alot of ppl from justlinux.com and linuxquestions.org :) so if you stay around here there is always linux ppl around :)

the actual problem was that the host i had didnt have alot of things turned on in the configurations of php. and they where limiting everything so it wouldnt run. and after a week of not hearing from them i canceled my hosting account and moved to a good host with great support. so it wasnt a problem with invision at all and the only reason i dont have great support for invision is cause i cant afford to pay for the support ;) if i decide to pay for support i will switch over to vb as they are cheaper :)

Ok here it goes i was wondering if anyone here knew of all the specs a good cms (content management system) should have. i have planning on writing one to help me learn php. and i know this would be a nice project as it is complicated and has alot of stuff needed so if anyone can tell me what kind of features and specs they expect out of a cms that would be great thanks [img]http://www.programmingforums.org/forum/html/emoticons/smile.gif[/img]

i have been told this mite be something not a good idea and have been recommended to do a "write an XHTML Strict/CSS forum software in PHP!" but if anyone can come up with a good project that will teach me every skill well most skills i need to learn for php that would be great [img]http://www.programmingforums.org/forum/html/emoticons/smile.gif[/img]

i think i mite have to start studing up and some day take that baby :) it seems like a good idea

yeah me to but i just assumed that this was windows being talked about :)

good tip binary mayhen i never new you could do that. i will have to look into that :)

well see i have a few theories about this. i think it would be better off for me to do good in my grades in the CIS department then to have bad grades in the CS department. cause after 1 year of CS i have a 1.45 GPA and that sucks but when i was in my old school and got my degree in computer programming which was an AS degree. i had a 3.29 which is good in my mind could be better but still good. and the fact that if i go slow by only goin parttime now i will take prolly 5 years to finish my CIS degree and by that time i will have 6 years work experience and it wont matter what degree i have cause to most jobs they look for ppl with a BS in CS or 5 years experience so i would still beable to get a job cause i am currently working as a computer programmer. so would this CIS degree and the Expiernce be good for me.

ps. i am still switching schools no matter what cause the current school i am in is so much research centered that they dont care about there students and the school i am switching to right accross the river in our sister city has less research to it. and i have talked to the Chair of the computer science department over there adn he has said that there is less theory stuff …
