Nathan, You're so kind. This guy is gonna be eternally grateful.

Anagram solver? Well for a N letter word there are N! permutations - far too many. I have written a similar program and the best approach is to search a dictionary file. First check is the length, then if the anagram and a dictionary word have the same length use INSTR to check the letters are all ...

Seb, I'm not an expert on this, but the numbers 123,132, etc. are a perfect set of the permutations of 3 numbers. Since you didn't show us the PRINT statement, I don't know why you're printing the numbers of the letter positions instead of the letters themselves. My guess is that in order to print b...

By BASIC do you mean all the Basic versions which came before Microsoft Quickbasic and QBasic? These old Basic versions are practically dead now since they're more than 20 years old. QuickBasic and Qbasic, collectively known as QB, are very similar to each other, mostly differing in the development ...

Patz, Nice detective work, and thanks for the background information. I suspected that his file was created with a Unix-type editor based on finding only Linefeeds. What's even worse is a report file generated on a Unix system. These files can have all kinds of line terminators, LF only, CRLF, FormF...

Bulldog, Excuse the expression, but "you're barking up the wrong tree." If you copy/pasted CCC's code from the post above, God knows what line terminators you got. The lines you mention are not too long when viewed with a hex editor. In reality, the longest line is 77 bytes long. CCC maile...

My program is too long to do that, for some reason i can't copy it. But why will the ^line too long message pop up? and can i use the ASM part of the message to pinpoint where the error is?

Quibbler is right, the statement should be: c=a/(b*12) When you put someting into a variable, it's called a "variable assignment". You are "assigning" a value to the variable. All variable assignments are coded with the resultant variable first and then the value that is being as...

Easier still, modify the program to print to a work file. Then, at the end, load the work file into Notepad and print it out.

This is for Nathan1993 and Patz. The code that folows is a little program to validate dates in a YYYYMMDD format. That's all it does, but it does the validation in a way that I call "bulletproof", that is, no invalid date will be accepted. I have been using this date validation logic succe...

Kyle, I tried your program. t runs, but ignores the up/down arrows because you forgot that they are expanded ASCII codes. Down Arrow is chr$(0)+chr$(80) and Up Arrow is chr$(0)+chr$(72) You also have an INKEY looking for a chr$(24). I don't know what that should be. Try these and see. Regards..... M...
