I think hes really checking to see how many people will respond to a very old thread. So far 3, counting me. ;)

Do you need to be a programmer to be a mathmatician? Or does the inverse logic not apply?

I was actively looking for a solution to the problem of how to manage encapsulating many different topics targeted to different audiences under one roof,

IMHO, you are looking for the solution to a problem that does not exist. And that really sounds just like the middle-management buzz-word-bull-crap I used to hear in countless meetings back in the day. In the corporate world, that might get you some points with a clueless boss, but I don't think you're in that world. And I hope you aren't.

Understood. I realize my post may not be clear, but if you notice I never say anything about you wanting to copy them or to be like them.

But you are also one of the most attentive administrators (if not the most) of all the forums I participate on. It's your personal attention to the day to day, and even hour to hour, operation of this forum that I appreciate more than anything else that is non-content related.

I get the impression you drink a lot of coffe, you are always tinkering with something on the website. Or at least it seems that way.

Just because big sites do something doesn't mean it's a good thing. They probably have people that need to justify their salaries so they make marginal changes and claim some valuable benefit, even though your common sense tells you this is just a cosmetic change that does not improve content, layout or function.

The color theme/scheme thing is of very marginal benefit at best. I see this as more of a fad than anything else. The big sites that do this will abandon it when too many other sites start to copy the idea. But it's not harming anything so if you like it, great.

Your code is hard to understand. You appear to be checking for the existence of a hash key:

if(exists $name {$a}){

even though the syntax is a little messed up (a space between $name and {$a}) it probably still works.

but then you are using aray syntax when you try to delete later on, such as:

delete $name[$j];

square brackets [] are array indexing, curly brackets {} are hash keys. So I can't tell what it is you are actually trying to do by looking at your code. Are you removing something from an array or a hash?

while (defined (my $line = <IN>)) { 
   chomp ($line);
  [B] next if ($line =~ m/^#/);[/B]
   #save the unimportant interval for later on
   my $unimportant_characters = $1 if $line =~ m/^\*\s+(.+)/;
   my ($character, $penalty) = split (/\s+/,$line); 
   push  @character, $character;
   push  @penalty, $penalty;
}

this line is messing up your entire script (as it is anyway) :

my $unimportant_characters = $1 if $line = ~ m/^\*\s+(.+)/;

if you did some basic debugging by printing variables to the screen you would see the above line is returning a bizarre value to $line. The culprit is the gap between "= ~". There should be no gap: "=~". What you did was create an assignment to $line "=" which changed the value of $line to 4294967295. So the next line in your script is being evaluated like this for every line of the file:

my (4294967295, ) = split (' ',4294967295)

so @characters is populated with the value 4294967295 for each line of the file. What you end up with at the end of that block is:

@character = (4294967295 4294967295 4294967295 4294967295 4294967295 4294967295 4294967295 4294967295 4294967295 4294967295 4294967295 4294967295 4294967295)
@penalty = ()

instead of:

@character = (T T G A C A * T A T A AT T)
@penalty = (7 8 6 5 5 5 15-21 8 8 6 6 5 8)

I did not check the rest of your script. Correct the above syntax error "= ~" and retry your script.

A very thoughtful solution. It does help the pages to load faster.

Thank you very much,
Kevin

I think I understand your explanation. Have you made any progress?

I was getting the JS warning when reading this thread and other threads. I only read threads in the Community Feedback and Perl forums, and I was getting the JS warning in both of those forums when readings threads, any threads.

finding the position of the match should be easy enough, but I don't unerstand the penalty or what it does.

the output should then be:
the program found ONKLE PHIL (ATG) at position 1 and 13 and ONKLE TOM (TGC) at position 9... hmm now the numbers beside the letters are penalty whenever its not founding an A at position one its get a penalty of 3 and the secound position if its not a T it gets a 4 if my diviation nr is put on 5 it will ignore all the characters we have look for untill now because 7 is bigger than 5, after that we get to the third letter etc...!!!!!!

This is all quite confusing to me. Are you aware there are many modules already written to work on this kind of data, and there is also bioperl. I think it's www.bioperl.org

yeah okay I see, a stupid question : is my comment then saved if I wanna used it later!!!

No. You would have to save lines that are comments to a variable or an array/list.

You will have to read both files. But lets look at his part of the code you posted:

open(IN,'<',$signaldescription ) or die "Could not find file\n";
my @character = ();
my @penalty = ();
my $comment ='';
while (defined (my $line = <IN>)) {
   chomp ($line);
   if ($line =~ m/^#/) {
      if ($comment ne ''){
         my ($character, $penalty) = split (' ',$line);
         push @character, $character;
         push @penalty, $penalty;
      }
   }
}

$comment is defined as '' (an empty string). Then in the code you check to see if $comment is not equal to an empty string, but of course it is, so the next three lines (the expressions) never are evaluated. If the intention is to skip comments

open(IN,'<',$signaldescription ) or die "Could not find file\n";
my @character = ();
my @penalty = ();
while (defined (my $line = <IN>)) {
   next if $line =~ m/^#/;
   chomp ($line);
   my ($character, $penalty) = split (' ',$line);
   push @character, $character;
   push @penalty, $penalty;
}

hehehe... I see you're back online, what a surprise.

what a drama queen.... you need to step back from your computer anyway, IMHO. You take this chatting stuff way too serious. Don't let the door hit your behind on the way out. Keep your promise and make that your last post, thanks.

I am confused by what you said.

($comment ne '') is not a way to ignore something after you read it, but I am not sure what you mean by "after you read[ed] it".

The past tense of "read" is spelled "read" in english, not readed, the pronunciation is different though.

If you wanted to ignore lines that start with "#" in a loop:

next if (/^#/);

No errors, but there is a bit of an annoying delay while the browser seems to be calculating those rounded corners. That could be because this computer I use for surfing the internet is an old 800mhz windows98 system.

what is $comment being used for?

my $comment ='';

further on you have:

if ($comment ne ''){

but $comment is blank ('') so that condition is always false so the expressions that follow are never evaluated.

The demo is not giving my browser any problems.

I am no longer getting the JS warning. That seems to be it. I did notice right after I would click the "stop script" button the rounded corners would pop into the display, but I never assosicated them with the problem.

a little bit of an enigma..... don't let it go to your head ;)

EDIT: that wink smiley looks bad, I am of course just kidding with you

tgreer,

You last post explains alot (http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/post358440-45.html).

I've been in a similar situation in the past and can appreciate your continued interest in somthing you were active in helping to shape and direct. Sometimes those parting of ways are bitter-sweet.

Since you did not have to explain yourself one iota to me, I appreciate that you did. It gives me insight I did not have before.

Regards,
Kevin

Good, so it seems you've answered your own question quite nicely, though I'm sure some would dispute your conclusions. Amazing, what a little research can do!

I think any conclusion I might try and surmise would be incomplete at best. I get the feeling there has been a lot of water under the bridge that I am totally unaware of. I will leave it at that, like I said I was really just curious. I'm not questioning your interest in this website, which seems to be very genuine to me.

I just found you to be a little bit of an enigma is all. But that is explained by my own ignorance about most of what goes on around here. Since I prefer it that way, I probably should not be asking you for any insight anyway.

Anyways, take care, maybe catch you around in the feedback forum from time to time.

Kevin

tgreer,

I don't understand your interest in how daniweb is structured. I had assumed you must be fairly active in the IT forums, but checking your post history, it appears to be 95%+ posting in the feedback forum for several months now.

I went back to Nov 2006 to find your last post in an IT forum (c++ I think it was). I might have missed one or two, but really, your main activity for several months is just posting in the feedback forum.

Am I missing something? You seem to have stoped being a contributing member a while back, at last as far as IT contributions is concerned. I see you have a "team colleague" designation, but I don't know what that signifies.

I am just curious is all, feel free to ignore my comments or tell me to mind my own business. Just seems odd to me that you seem to care that much when you're no longer really active in the IT aspect of daniweb.

Regards,
Kevin

If have the time I might try and help. Your question, or questions, are really more than asking for general help and will take some time to try and assist you with.

Look into using the Expect or Expect::Simple module.

http://search.cpan.org/search?query=expect&mode=all

LWP::UserAgent is good for this type of stuff:

http://search.cpan.org/~gaas/libwww-perl-5.805/lib/LWP/UserAgent.pm

Now I'm getting it everytime I view a page in a thread, and when I click "continue" I sometimes get the warning a second time. I guess I'll check in with daniweb in a few days and see if the problem has cleared up because this is too frustrating.

I got the warning and the was no globalspec ad displayed on the page.

I'm still getting the unresponsive script warning, seems to happen only in threads, not when viewing forum indexes. Happens about 30 to 40% of the time when viewing a thread. The page just stop dead in it's tracks for a few seconds, can't scroll or anything, and then the warning.

No need to apologize. No, I have no personal axe to grind here. The only source of bitterness is IntelliTXT, a topic I've already exhausted, and which has nothing to do with the concerns about the changing atmosphere and member demographics of Daniweb.

When I say Daniweb has changed for the worse, that the quality of postings has deteriorated, that we're attracting non-technical members, and that the staff seems much more tolerant of all of the above - that's exactly what I mean and the only motive is to let the administration know about the concern, and provide others who might feel the same an opportunity to say "yeah, what he said".

OK, that explains your concerns (to me) much more clearly. That is perfectly reasonable and rational and very understandable.

I get the sense that you are motivated by personal reasons, but what those reasons are I have no clue. Sort of like hearing two people arguing, you can tell they are angry or upset, but you have no idea why. It seems like you are upset about something more than just the quality or quantity of "geek" posts. But maybe not, maybe I am just getting the wrong impression. If I am, my apologies.

Your penchant for hyperbole makes it hard for me to take you seriously. You use words like "pollute" and "desease" to describe the problem as you see it. It makes your opinion seem less than objective, but maybe it is less than objective and that is your point? I honestly don't know.

But I do get the sense of some underlying motive for your comments about the quality of posts and how it affects this forum. I could be totally wrong, I'm just giving you my honest opinion, and maybe my perception of your motivation is wrong, but it comes across as negative and critical instead of helpful or insightful.

is that "all forums" or "this category"? When I look at "all forums" there are mostly IT forums displayed but also feedback and lounge threads.

Guess I can't edit the post with all the javascript anymore. Any moderator or adminstrator that wants to remove that post or the javascript please feel free to do so.

Well, when I visited the site this morning, I got the uresponsive script warning once out of 3 page views (perl forum main page first no problem, then Daniweb community forum main page no problem, then this thread and I got the warning). But there are no javascript errors in the error console so who knows. Hopefully it is a temporary problem.

Sorry for posting that ugly javascript stuff earlier, I will remove it.

well for what it's worth, this is what clicking on the JQuery error displays:

Something tells me it's the ad? (We switched ad servers today) Are you using an ad blocker?

I disabled ad blocker plus and it is still happening.

You ask who wouldn't? I wouldn't. I could care less what anyone here thinks about me or what they say about me, not that anyone does. You shouldn't either, but thats your decision to make.

I assume if it is happening to me it must be happening to others. I am using FireFox 2 on dial up (56k).

See attachment.

Christina, Josh, et al,

I won't hold it against you for acting your age, I assume you won't hold it against me and other "old" people for acting ours.

You youngsters are cool, I have no problem with anything you do and haven't had a problem with anything you say or how you say it. I may be a bit speechless about some of your prolific posting activity, and might not comprehend why you care about bad rep (or even good rep) but thats really none of my business.

We were all young and teenagers once, you guys can look forward to trading places with us old folk and scolding the future "myspace crowd" for being care-free and silly and wasting too much time chatting on IT forums.

..but its hard to help people when their posts don't even make sense! Do they use like crappy translators or do they just type every English word that they know?:-/

True, but some of the translations are hilarious.

If you could change one thing ...

get rid of that floating pop-up when you mouse over topics. Obnoxious, now it follows you around like a cockroach, get rid of it. Plus the script seems to be causing a long delay in page loads.

OK, well, fix those errors otherwise your code will not even compile.

First thing you have to do is fix the errors:

Global symbol "@karaktere" requires explicit package name at script line 68.
Global symbol "$fastafilename" requires explicit package name at script line 72.
Global symbol "$reversecomplementdna" requires explicit package name at script line 83.
Global symbol "$reversecomplementdna" requires explicit package name at script line 84.
syntax error at script line 88, near "}"

How come you are not getting help from a teacher or fellow student?

It's those word games that she plays!;) lol.. I'm no1 to talk about that though.

But seriously, I think something should be changed about the rep system.. It has a specific purpose, and people abuse it way too often. I think it would be beneficial for people's names to be posted when they rep. For one, it would stop people from abusing the system. If you neg. rep someone for a stupid reason, you will be neg. repped back. But on the same token, if the neg. rep is deserved, I don't think there will be a rep war. If some1 neg. repped me for a good reason, I would not be angry or neg. rep them back.

First, I think anyone that takes rep seriousy needs to take a break from their computer.

Daniweb seems to have a group of members that is here more for the entertainment value and less the webdev stuff. Those members will abuse, and I use that word loosely, the rep system, seeing it as just part of the fun and games. I call it the myspace crowd for lack of a better description.

there is a reply on the the other forum you posted this same question on.

Is this school work?
