There is no such command in MS-Windows -- lpr is a linux program.

About 3 tablespoons hemp seeds, I bought them just yesterday after hearing about them on Dr Oz tv show. They taste like finly chopped nazel nuts.

You could use global variables, that that is normally fround upon because it can lead to bugs and errors.

you sould nest the functions like this: functionB(a,b,FunctionA(a,b));

That's a common sorting problem with numerical data represented as strings. Correct the problem by right-aligning the numbers, embed either spaces or 0s to the beginning of each number so that all numbers are the same width. for example the first value, 10, would become 0010 so that it's the same width as 5555.

Don't put the password in MySetting in the first place. Hardcode the password inside your program when connecting to the db, or prompt for password then put the text in the connection string.

how to send text/graphics to a printer depends on the operating system. If the printer is attached to LPT1 port (most are USB or wifi nowdays) then just open LPT1 as if it were a text file. Otherwise it's pretty complicated, as shown in this Microsoft article

I don't know how to do it with Linux computers, something to do with postscript.

Windows 7/8 have a program that changes existing partition size so that you can create new partitions. I've done it several times with no problems. There's also Partition Magic, but if you have Windows 7 or 8 you don't need it.

why isn't this code work??/

You need to explain a bit more. Do you take your car to a machanic and just say "it doesn't work". Of course not, you tell him the symptoms, such as it doesn't start. Programming is a bit like that -- we can't tell you why "it doesn't work" unless we know what's wrong with it.

I had to google for it because I never heard of it. But my emoticon is (:| (Yawn)

show you my WHAT??

WallMart doesn't sell walls either. If the names of businesses had to represent what they sell then there would be very few businesses.

Just replace textBox1.Text with string objects. Using ddanbe's suggestion

List<string> items;
                    foreach (string ln in split)
                    {
                        string n;
                        if (count > 4 && count < 8)
                        {
                            n += (ln + Environment.NewLine);
                        }
                        items.add(n);
                        count++;
                    }

Not possible unless you save the info to a text file and re-read it when the program starts. Once the program terminates evrything is lost, just like when you turn your computer off.

List<string> CVSValues

Looks like C++ to me, does C# have similar containers?

how old is the computer? what brand internet card? Is it internal to the motherboard of an add-on card?

By using ReadToEnd() you lose track of individual lines, so you'd have to know beforehand how many columns are on a line then extract them from the array as if everything was in one big line of the file. So you'd have to set it up something like this:

 const int ColumnsPerLine = 10;
 int count = 0;
 foreach (string s in stringArray)
 {
    ++count;
    if (count > 4 && count < 7)
       textBox1.Text += (s + Environment.NewLine);
    if( count >= ColumnsPerLine)
       count = 0; // reset for next line
 }

I would think it would be a lot more understandable if the file were just read one line at a time, like in your original post.

Are you mixing C++ and C#? No need for that loop.

If you have a lot of items to display then use a listbox instead of a textbox so that you can see them all. textbox doesn't have a scrollbar.

If you don't care about which values are on which lines, then why not combine lines 3 and 4 so that it does split only once?

            StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(filepath);
                string fileString = sr.ReadToEnd();
                string[] stringArray = fileString.Split(new char[] {',','\n'});
                int count = 0;
                foreach (string s in stringArray)
                {
                    if (count++ > 4)
                        textBox1.Text += (s + Environment.NewLine);
                }

That joke is older than I am :)

The code I posted will do exactly that. Why are you using an array of lines?

If you want each value to appear in the text box on it's own line, then below is one way to do it. I couldn't get it to work the way you tried it.

            using (StreamReader readFile = new StreamReader("C:..."))
            {
                string line;
                while ((line = readFile.ReadLine()) != null)
                {
                    string[] split = line.Split(',');
                    int count = 0;
                    foreach (string ln in split)
                    {
                        if( count++ > 2) // ignore first 3 columns
                            textBox1.Text += (ln + Environment.NewLine);
                    }
                }
            }

See the examples here how to split the string into it's individual tokens

Begin by placing a FlowLayoutPanel control on the left side of the window, then put other controls on top of it. Change the background color of all controls to whatever color you want them to be.

what compiler are you using? Please post the contents of the *.c file where the error appears, or at least the part from line 1 until the line that contains the error.

Another hint: check calibration.h to see if it expects some macro definitions to be defined before including that file. Look for lines that begin with #ifdef or #ifndef

I don't think explorer.exe can be removed -- it's an integral part of the operating system. See this article about a lawsuit.

And we've seen in California, and now in Washington, what happens when the people start demanding the labeling of food.

What are you talking about??

We don't have Taco Bell here. It's because of consumer protection laws against false representation. Basically, you cannot sell a "beef taco" if you cannot show that it actually contains beef. That's why Taco Bell (and a few other american chains) don't exist in Quebec.

That's just stupid! How can Toco Bell NOT prove that their tocos contain beef? What else could they contain -- kangaroos or horsemeat? All the inspectors have to do is watch them make it and test the ingredients.

That paradox has been the subject of several time-travel movies, such as Dr. Who. When time traveling you're not allowed to alter history, it's caled a Temporal paradox

I would think professors would encourage students to learn how to do research -- learn how to use google to find answers to questions. Afterall, that's what happens on-the-job. That doesn't mean find someone to do write their programs for them, but to ask questions, something like what DaniWeb encourages. Do those same professors who object to students getting outside help also object to students working with tutors?

I love Irish Mist, but can't drink it any more. Now I just drink diet Pepsi, water, and ice tea.

New buttons are nice -- but will you please add tool tips so that we know what they are? For example buttons for Report Post (Flag) and the other one next to it (I have no idea what it does).

Here's a great tutorial to get you started with vb.net, I refer to it often myself.

This worked for me ok (note: I changed the name of the database to be one that's already on my computer). Also used System.IO.File.Copy() instead of win32 api copyfile().

    Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Dim path As String = Application.StartupPath & "\Database1.accdb"
        Dim backup As New FolderBrowserDialog
        Dim backuptext As String
        If backup.ShowDialog() = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then
            backuptext = backup.SelectedPath
        End If
        System.IO.File.Copy(path, backuptext & "/POP.mdb")
    End Sub

I don't know -- that article was based on some congressional report

Based on eight years of research and analysis, 50 years of data from nuclear tests and EMP simulators, and never-before-attempted EMP tests, the commission found that any nuclear weapon, even a low-yield one, could potentially pose a catastrophic EMP threat to the United States, mainly because of the great fragility of the electric grid.

So, are you saying that's just a lot of bullshit??

See this thread. Why does the code start with '' and end with '' ???

after line 9 add another line to call strlen() to get the length of the line just read. If you want all the lines in the file then add them up into an int variable that you can use later in the program.

[

int sum = 0;
while( fgets(...) ) // replace ... with actual parameters
{
    sum += strlen(text);
}

](null)

According to the article whose link I posted

A single nuclear weapon detonated at an altitude of 400 kilometers over the United States would project an EMP field over the entire country, as well as parts of Canada and Mexico.

But you are right -- we'd have many more problems to worry about than EMP if that ever happened.

First, gets() gets text from the keyboard, not from a data file. What you want is fgets() to read the text file. Do you know how to read text files? If not, here is a short tutorial

Taco Bell and poor service.

Service is ok at the Toco Bell where I live. Another store is combined with KFC.

if it's const char array then you won't be able to add text from a text file to it. But maybe what you want is a function whose parameter is const char*?

I don't have an account at that site and I don't have any problems reading it.

By EMPS do you mean this?

Do it in small parts so that you don't get overwhelmed. First, write the program and inputs three integers. After you get that working, you can add some more to sum up the three integers as you enter them. After that, so each of the other parts, and soon you will have the program written.
