 | I've never been a fan of readme files. They are fine for project files where you will likely need note of building an application, or for distribution packages where you might need extra information on installing a package. But sometimes you want to add a comment to a file (perhaps … |
 | What you are asking is like a mechanic posting the question "how do I build a car". Your question is to big to be addressed on this site. If you've read the Daniweb [Posting Rules](https://www.daniweb.com/welcome/rules) then you'd know that we expect you to show some effort first. |
 | Try FastStone. It's free and has the feature you want (and quite a few more). |
 | I'm pretty sure he means hovering the mouse over the thread title to preview the contents. |
 | The first things you need are a Langstrom seven-inch gangly wrench and a 7/16" catheter truncheon bolt.  |
 | At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I don't see why new threads containing code, or tagged with C++, java, vb, etc. can't be automatically moved to the programming forum. Why involve the moderators at all? |
| | Sometimes these folders are created during the installation process. They can safely be deleted but occasionally this can be difficult. You might try deleting the folder from a command shell running as Admin.  |
 | Re: outlook problem The only problem I've had with Outlook is that it is so difficult to find the options. Menus and sub-menus, each with buttons, buttons, buttons, advanced options, etc. I use Outlook on my wife's laptop and Thunderbird (which I prefer) on mine. One of these days I'll convert Outlook to … |
| | This might help until you fix the actual problem. Open a shell as Administrator and add the following line to `C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\etc\HOSTS` 127.0.0.1 wonderlandads.com  |
| | Try google with your exact question.  |
| | I have been having a problem for a few months with the video driver for my Dell laptop. The hardware/driver are from Intel. The driver from 2016-09-29 works just fine. It has a feature that I use regularly to rotate the display via hotkeys - very convenient for document reading. … |
 | I suspect the problem is with the field named `E-mail`. Either put delimeters around it like `[E-mail]` or, better yet, rename the field to `email`. |
| | >I'd like to have someone take a look and at least tell me what type of encryption was used I don't know if it will do any good but perhaps you could post one of the scripts for us to see. >I used a free, vendor-supplied utility Can you tell … |
| | If all else fails there is always the free version of [Resilio Sync](https://www.resilio.com/individuals/) formerly BitTorrent Sync. I use it to sync a folder on my laptop (Winnipeg) with one in Long Island. |
| | Here's an interesting little scenario. You get challenged to a game of coin toss. Both players pick a sequence of coin toss results (heads or tails). The coin is repeatedly tossed until the sequence for one of the players occurs. The loser pays the winner a dollar. You'd assume that …  |
 | >from the lack of activity on DW these days On the plus side, I can be offline for several days (got to camp on Thrsday but had to wait until today to go to town and activate my internet & phone for the summer) and still get caught up with …  |
 | Re: What is DOM? Yes. It's the description of the structure and API (application programming interface) of a document. For details please see the [w3 description](https://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-Core/introduction.html). |
 | I can't imagine that I/O wasn't one of the first things covered in whatever programming course you are taking but here is an example Dim text() = {"line 1", "line 2", "line 3"} Dim sw As New System.IO.StreamWriter("D:\output.txt") For Each line As String In text sw.WriteLine(line) Next sw.Close()  |
 | Re: Programming Sure thing. Where are you stuck? We **will** help but we won't do your homework for you. If you don't have any code then I suggest you write pseudo-code and post that.  |
 | Re: help me for C++ >Suggest an edit I suggest you reword and repost your question. I couldn't make heads or tails out of what you are asking. What is a `fine`? What is a `drawer`? What do you mean by `the first line of the first line`? Examples with an actual array might help. |
 | Looking at your data I interpret it as being lists of lists. Data Set 1 consists of two lists A B C D Data Set 2 consists of two lists A Q C B C D So break your problem down. Instead of comparing two Data Sets you are comparing … |
| | Re: Merchandising You had T-Shirts (and probably coffee mugs) and didn't tell me when I came to visit? Shame on you :-( |
| | You can win up to [$55,000 to optimize NASA's Fluid Dynamics code](https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2017/05/nasa-wants-you-to-make-its-fortran-code-run-faster/). See the link for details. |
| | @Subbu_2 - If you want to know when this issue is sorted out then I suggest you bookmark the thread and check on it periodically instead of putting the onus on the OP to contact you. Or, if you go to the first post in the thread and click on … |
| | I got the chest thing last winter and for the first time in years I managed to fight it off before it turned into bronchitis. Hope you are feeling better soon. |

| | >pls design and develop a basic program dat converts minutes into days Judging by your post it is possible that you have not read the Daniweb [Posting Rules](https://www.daniweb.com/welcome/rules) and [Terms of Service](https://www.daniweb.com/welcome/tos). Please give these a read. You might also want to [Read This Before Posting a Question](https://www.daniweb.com/programming/threads/435023/read-this-before-posting-a-question) Here is … |
 | The advice was given as >Don't use double as Booleans. Your question was >Why can't you use a double as a boolean ? You weren't told that you couldn't. You were told, in effect, that you shouldn't. There's a big difference. You shouldn't run with scissors and you shouldn't use … |

 | Unless you are connecting to the db using the server name and the database instance in which case you server name in the connection string would look like \\164.128.12.93\dbserver \\merlin\dbserver assuming that the IP address of the server is 164.128.12.93 or the server name is merlin. |
 | I'm assuming it is powered by the USB connection. If so, does it work when you use a short cable? If it does than I'm guessing that it just barely gets enough power through the short cable and the power drop over the longer cable means it isn't getting enough …  |

| | Show us the code. |
| | If you are going to revive a six-year-old thread at least try to squeeze in a verb. |
| | I used to do that all the time. I wrote a large number of command line scripts to simplify network admin tasks. For example, adding a network printer to a workstation took me 15 seconds from the command line. Compare that to navigating through multiple GUI windows. The only downside … |
 | |
| | There is a simple way to add multiple textboxes to a form at runtime and store references to them in an array so that they can be accessed by index. I created an example a few months ago to demonstrate this technique using buttons but you can easily use any … |
| | You google "python convert string to integer" and pick one of the 536,000 results instead of asking someone here to do it for you. |
 | Help you with it? yes. But we are not going to do it for you. Show us what you have so far. |
 | I don't know about in jail. I thought they'd just confiscate the equipment. Be nice to know for my next trip down south. |
 | It is possible that your connection somehow got switched to "metered". If set to metered, downloads are deferred, although for how long I am not sure. I've attached a script (vbs) that you can execute to get a connection's metered/non-metered status and set it to one state or the other. … |
| | 1. This thread was already marked as solved. 1. I really doubt that an XP answer needs further updating.  |
| | Three steps: 1. Set the position of the start of the selected text 1. Set the length of the selected text 1. Change the font size by specifying a new font with only the size changed Example - Let's assume a RichTextBox named `rtb` (for brevity). Let's say you want … |
| | Re: Js - Good Parts I don't use lambdas. THey may be concise but I find them generally cryptic and I value clarity over conciseness. |
 | Works for me here as well in Canada. Windows 10 & Chrome. Also works in Firefox. I might help if you told us what OS and browser, or even what device you are trying to view it on. It's kind of like saying "My car doesn't work. What is wrong … |
 | Temporary data, by definition, does not need to be saved. If you are referring to saving in one session, then restoring it in another, you would use either My.Settings (which you don't seem to want to use) or some other external store like a database or other file. Typically you … |
| | I'm at the cottage for the summer. Out here I have a metered connection and I try to keep under 3 gig per month (or I have to pay extra). Until this year that hasn't been a problem. This year, however, I have Windows 10. With Windows 7 I could …  |
| | For anyone who is having trouble with regular expressions, I suggest you have a look at [this site](https://regexper.com/#%5Cd%7B1%2C3%7D) by Jeff Avallone. It takes a regular expression in the native (cryptic) format and produces a visual display of the same expression. For example, ^[a-z0-9_-]{3,16}$ becomes  and the pattern for … |
 | How do you want this to work? Your brief description leaves several possibilities. No point in suggesting the ones you don't want. For example, you could have a textbox with a text changed event handler that automatically populates a listbox based on what you type as you type it. This … |
 | I love doing Sudoku puzzles. What I don't like doing is doing them by hand with pencil and paper so I wrote a vb.net app that takes out the drudgery (writing, erasing, writing, erasing...). It doesn't have any smarts built in (that would take away the fun part). What it … |
The End.
