You're right, getting yesterday's date is not a simple matter. You need to have a table or array of the number of days in each month, plus when you're dealing with February, you need to have logic to determine leap year. I've done this before, so why don't you post the code that you have for this an...

Checkout the COMMAND$ function. Using the same command-line that you posted, your program can get the names of the 2 files as follows: c$ = command$ 'get the command-line, except for the .EXE name. s = instr(c$," ") 'find location of space delimiter between filenames. if s = 0 then print "Invalid or...

...... QB Express will come, but I've got to tell you, "The Race" is my baby, and "Unicorn Boy" (my cartoon) is my second child. QB Express right now is my red-headed stepchild -- still a priority, but at the bottom of the list. I've just got too many projects going on at once, and I have to choose...

We use qbasic to do some engineering for us and at the end of the program it asks to print. i would like instead of printing to save it or send it to word so i can save the file and print when i want. i would love to send someone the program so they can tell me how to do this. :?: If I understand y...

Thammel, I'm kinda lost now regarding your problem. Don't let the guys kid you about being an engineer. I've worked with many sharp engineers. I have found that basically they don't like to program --- it's really not their bag. They only program to solve some given problem, so they can get back to ...

Hi, I'm a long time QB user at work - an engineer, of course. Suddenly I"m having a very slow response when I do my FO - it takes about a minute to display the directory structure and since I'm about 4 layers down it takes about 4 minutes or so to open the code. This is very annoying! We're using W...

I think the problem is the following:

Code: Select all

while x < 30 
print freshSTU(x), freshGPA(x) 
x = x + 1 
wend

Before the while, you need to set x=0,
otherwise the while will start off with x equal to what it was before.

Yeah, but like many others, he hasn't come back to acknowledge the help given nor anything. ***** What a surprise... But yeah, I was harsher than needed, because I forgot to check his postcount. This guy actually has one, and so I should just have left the topic without posting at all. My bad. Not ...

...... The program is almost done, i just need professional help to perfect it. Actually, you program looks good, but has a lot of problems, especially with the nested WHILE/WENDs. One problem with WHILE/WENDs is that there is no EXIT WHILE. So try to use DO/LOOPs instead where you can get out with...

Hey guys, I think we were a bit too rough on Jason. Yes, I agree, the post is about homework. However, he's not asking us to do the homework, he's just asking for a little help to fix it up. He also posted a pretty nice program so we can see that he's well ahead on doing the homework. Give the kid a...

"are you prepared for emergencies with a kit?" I've been following this thread for a week now. Basically, Sid, you have a good idea, and some of your suggestions, and those by others, are good. I would just like to clarify that it's impossible to be prepared for every kind of disaster or mishap sit...

Hey Pete..... I personally dont like "must to register/log in" ..... I don't much like having to register when I'm just looking for some information on a site that I got from a Google search. But in the case of a guest coming to this forum, he's usually going to post a question or ask for help. In ...

When you save a QBASIC Program to a text file and store variables in it, is there anyway to encrypt the numbers so people using the program can't alter the variables? I think you guys are missing DWolf's point. His concern is that the user of the program can load the source file into QBasic and usi...
