 | You beat me by 5 years. I turn 65 on Saturday. Any idea who the oldest (living) Daniweb member is? Dani should be able to query the database to find out.  |
| | What messages/feedback are you getting to tell you what failed?  |
 | Please read the [Daniweb Posting Rules](https://www.daniweb.com/welcome/rules) and [Suggestions For Posting Questions](https://www.daniweb.com/programming/threads/435023/read-this-before-posting-a-question). Pay special attention to the one that says **Do provide evidence of having done some work yourself if posting questions from school or work assignments** |
 | APL Pro: Extremely powerful syntax and rich set of primitive operators (80 or more) designed for mathematical manipulation. Con: The epitome of write-once, read-never coding. You can implement Conway's game of Life in one line. Powerful and concise syntax but I've never seen a language that approaches APLs ability to …  |
 | Make sure you have only one anti-virus package running. You might also try disabling your anti-virus (temporarily) to see if that speeds things up. If that works then it is time to switch to another anti-virus. |
| | You can use `MessageBox`. There are 21 variations but the most basic is Dim result = MessageBox.Show("one or more lines of text") The value of `result` depends on how the box is closed. This, in turn, depends of which combination of buttons you specify. Check out the intellisense popup after … |
 | Re: python program @vegaseat - As a long standing member you should know better than to reward lazy/bad behaviour.  |
 | Based on the little information you provided, your code does exactly what it says it does. Of course, that's likely not what you wanted it to do. Perhaps if you provided a little more information like: 1. What is this code supposed to do 1. What is it actually doing … |
 | You've posted code with almost no indication (other than the thread title) of what it does. If your program does something interesting then please explain what it does and how to run it. A code snippet is usually posted to educate. Without comments it doesn't do that. |
 | Looks like homework to me. So far the only effort you have shown is copy/paste. Please read the [Daniweb Posting Rules](https://www.daniweb.com/welcome/rules) and [Suggestions For Posting Questions](https://www.daniweb.com/programming/threads/435023/read-this-before-posting-a-question).  |
 | If you aren't looking for a home-grown file finder, or if you don't need it integrated with other software, I suggest you have a look at the free Everything Indexer from [voidtools](https://www.voidtools.com/). I gives you real-tme (vurtually) instant feedback on finding files and folders by name. |

| | To all in the last week or so who received a private message from me consisting only of the phrase, `Noli Mentula`, I sincerely apologize. In the previous incarnation of Daniweb, sending a private message was considerably different than in the new version. I had assumed that a message would … |
| | Try using `\"([^\"]*)\"` as your regular expression. This will return matches on all double quoted strings. Using `[^\"]*` instead of `.*` ensures that each double quoted string is taken as a unit. |
| | The day that Americans will decide if they want to step on the brakes or drive off the cliff. |
| | Can you provide more information? For example. you don't drag files onto a USB any more than you drag files onto a serial or parallel. You drag them onto a device attached to a USB interface. What type of device are you using? How are the files being displayed on … |
| | You are not even close to being done. 1. You only get input from the user once instead of within a loop 1. You do not need both `number` and `figure` according to your spec 1. Why are you doing a div and a mod? You should be doing do … |
| | This thread has been solved. Please start a new thread with an appropriate title and more detail than you provided here. |
| | While it's easy for a human to pick out the names by context, it's not so easy for code. How can you determine where the names end and the rest of the sentece begins? What constitutes a name? Is a name always a first name and a last name where … |
 | Are you sure you don't want `'sadasdsad','4'` instead of `'sadasdsad''4'`? |
| | As a first attempt I suggest one loop that steps through the original string char by char as well as a boolean that you can set to true or false depending on whether or not you are within a word. Set it to true if the char is a letter … |
 | I have a folder on my bookmark bar with shortcuts (filters disabled) to the main forums. Just disable the filter and save the URL.  |
| | The easiest way would be to remove a question once it has been asked. |
| | And you posted this because.... Usually when someone is having a problem with their code they go to the trouble of describing the problem, including any error messages, etc., in other words, putting in a little effort. |
 | You'll have to create a list to hold all five numbers so that you can iterate over the list after the numbers have all been read in. When you iterate over the list you can, at that point, calculate and display how much each score differs from the average. |
| | Remember when once upon a time all you had to do to start Windows in safe mode was go all Woody Woodpecker on the F8 key during boot? Well in Windows 10 it seems you have to do just a little more... 1. On the login screen click on the … |
 | Typically a hard drive on an OEM system has multiple partitions. Mine came with five partitions with only one (C:) user partition. You can safely reformat C, and if like me, you created a second user partition (D:) you can format that as well. If you format the entire HD … |
| | How does your thread title in any way relate to your question? |
 | Re: I Want learn C++ How long does it take to walk from New York to Miami? It depends on how fast you walk and how determined you are to get there. How much you learn on the way depends on what you do on the journey.  |
 | I couldn't help but notice that you don't ever check to see if the account has enough $$$ in it to satisfy the request. |
| | I found it was safe to not rely on default behaviour. Pre-2008 (before retirement) the scripts I wrote/maintained had to bulk insert 8000+ records at a time. In order to maintain consistency I would massage the data and add a date/time field to the records. That way I could guarantee …  |
| | Can you please be more specific? Perhaps someone here can help if there is a particular area you are having trouble with but don't expect anyone to write you a tutorial. There are very likely tutorials available if you take the time to try google. |
| | My geo-location was being displayed as Cambridge (I returned from there on Monday) so I told daniweb to update, which it did, except it now reported me as `Winnipeg, Manitoba - 3,897 miles away`. What am I 3,897 miles away from? Then, when I click on `Member Connect` it says …  |
| | My wife's laptop is a Dell Latitude E6520. A good enough machine except for one annoying quirk. The wireless card keeps disabling itself. We have it configured so that closing the lid puts it to sleep. When it wakes up, the wireless card is disabled. Before you ask, I already … |
 | I think you should have a look at regular expressions. If you use the pattern `\b[a-zA-Z']+\b` it will return a `Matches` collection where each match is one word. You can loop over the matches collection and increment your coounter for eachc match that has a length > 6. The pattern … |
| | It wasn't bad enough that Skype nagged me with "your current version will soon stop working" every time I brought up the GUI. When I ignored the upgrade requests is started popping up notices even when I wasn't using Skype. So I finally bit the bullet and did the upgrade … |
 | Re: array First step is to read the [Daniweb Posting Rules](https://www.daniweb.com/welcome/rules) and [Suggestions For Posting Questions](https://www.daniweb.com/programming/threads/435023/read-this-before-posting-a-question). Pay close attention to the "show effort" parts. We do not reward laziness.I see you couldn't even be bothered to say what language you were using. Although, since you didn't actiually ask a question, can I … |
 | The only way to learn programming is by doing it. There are a lot of books out there that claim to teach you `X` language in `Y` days. No book can do that. All a book like that can do is teach you the syntax. Language consists of syntax, grammer … |
 | Re: Nice Interface All right. Now that I have used it for a bit and discovered/learned the new paridigm, all I have to say is `sweet`. Excellent job, Dani. |
| | Easily done but you should consider... 1. We don't do your homework 1. We don't appreciate it when you revive/hijack an old thread 1. You really need to read the [Daniweb Posting Rules](https://www.daniweb.com/welcome/rules) and [Suggestions For Posting Questions](https://www.daniweb.com/programming/threads/435023/read-this-before-posting-a-question).  |
| | Pretty slick looking. Still feeling my way around. |
| | Re: Design bug? I just got my first look at the new site. Interesting, but now I have to learn how to do stuff all over again. First thing I noticed was that I couldn't read any content because the pending messages were pasted over top on the right hand side forcing me … |
 | I think your problem is with while (option != 'y' || option != 'Y'); In other words, keep processing the loop while the entered character is not `y` or not `Y`. You can see that if you enter `y` then the expression evaluates to while (TRUE || FALSE); and if … |

 | Aaarrgh. I posted my reply to the wrong message. Serves me right for doing this at 6:00 am. OK. I recommend using the free version of Macrium Reflect. In order to do a differential image you must first do a full image otherwise you won't have an image to compare … |
| | It's supposed to restart automatically. In fact, I did the update myself a couple of days ago and it restarted automatically several times during the update process. If this isn't what you are referring to then please provide more details. |
| | My personal preference would be to use a global (and document it well). It's the most straightforward and simplest way. Creating a class for a simple counter or throwing pointers around helter-skelter just muddies things up. If you wanbt an analogy, purists say that you should never ever use a … |
| | ASUS Computers I recently had dealings with Asus. The situation was regarding a malfunctioning keyboard. The computer is a several-year-old (no longer under warranty) Asus K53E laptop. It belongs to my father-in-law and because he is somewhat careless with food (he is 91 so this is understandable), something eventually got … |
| | I'm not at all shocked. I watch the news and I use my brain. I see what's been going on down south these past decades. I'm so glad my son moved from Long Island to the UK. They aren't completely batshit crazy there yet (Brexit notwithstanding). |
| | >Does logging in to a system that requires no password count as "hacking"? There was a case a while ago where two men discovered that they could manipulate a video poker machine by pressing buttons in a very specific sequence. They were charged with hacking when they won a pile … |
The End.
