Hi Flirt85, You seem to be a pretty good programmer, judging from your code. Having looked at your inventory program also, I notice some things that I consider bad habits. 1) You seem to prefer processing input data directly out of DATA statements. I prefer to set up one or more arrays, and READ the...

I am making a progam that in it i ask the user for the date and an explanation. I want to add that info the end of a file each time it is entered(Like a log file.)..... If you are asking the user for the date and an explanation, then it's not really a log file, but an accumulation or record of what...

Pete,

That's great news about your job! I wish you the best.

Also, have a wonderful time in Ethiopia. How exciting! Shucks, I've always wanted to go to Africa since watching Tarzan movies when I was a kid.

You mean like no one speaking english and you being white around all the mexicans? Or is it just the poverty? Sorry, I'm just kind of interested in this kind of stuff..... Speaking or not speaking English, is not a problem 'cause I'm also fluent in Spanish. What is annoying about this is that many,...

Cool, I didn't know that. What brought you to Sunny Mexico? Long story. My wife was born in Mexico and could not adjust to living in the States. So, in 1983, we moved down to Mexico City where her family is. I was lucky and was able to find a programming job right away. I am not too keen on Mexico....

Interesting how it takes someone from Mexico to remind us Americans about our heritage. The only nearby date that I recall is April 20th; Adolph Hitler's birthday.

Actually, I merely live in Mexico, but I am an American, by birth, by upbringing, and by heart.

Making it easy to understand is fine, but it also has to have some fundamental facts.

I library is a collection of subroutines that are in an external program and "included" into you program. Because many people need speed-intesive routines for games and QB lacks and speed in graphics, libraries are ofton written to replace QB's graphics routines with faster and more routi...

Piolho, Just noticed the following PRINT statement in your program. PRINT #1, X$,",", Y$,",", Z$; 1) First of all, you never opened any file as #1. 2) The Z$ variable was never assigned anywhere. 3) The PRINT statement ends with a semicolon, which means that you will never output...

...... Problem is, my program's output contained hi-bit Ascii characters for line drawing. In NotePad, these characters look like special (foreign) characters 'n stuff, but not lines. And that's the way they'd print too. ...... I had a similar problem years ago. Solutions: 1) On an option or switch...

On a low-traffic forum like this, the more forums you have, the worse it is. There aren't enough posts to fill more forums, so they would just sit there empty and get in the way. I think that's one of the biggest problems a lot of small sites have; they create dozens of forums and there aren't enou...

Mystic, Just out of curiosity, what does "OR" mean on the following statement that you provided?

Thanks for all your feedback, guys, especially all the details by Lurah.

Can't wait until I get my Windows machine fixed, and not have to keep treading into the unknown.

Regarding "Join the Linux Revolution." My Windows machine has been down for several weeks, and I've been using my son's machine that has Linux Ubuntu. So, I didn't actually join the Linux revolution, I latched on to the nearest system available to me. Let me tell you about my experiences. ...

You mention a file grerater than 32K, but I assume that the problem is that you have records that are over 32K each. If this is true, you have a real problem. Even if you opened the file for binary and read the records in smaller chunks, you still may have problems if you need to have an entire reco...

Zamaster, By now you've figured out that there are many ways to get to the directories and filenames. Lurah's way gets you the names of all the directories. Then, for each directory, you have to do another SHELL with a DIR to get its filenames. You also need to figure out how to handle Windows long ...
