The Weird and The Wonderful

Is it "elephant", or is that just what you shouted when you found this code? :rolleyes: "These people looked deep within my soul and assigned me a number based on the order in which I joined." - Homer

It stays here

Looks like the code will work and is more justification for my signature line. :) Just because the code works, it doesn't mean that it is good code.

(VB5 came out in 97.) Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

They should have called it Cortana. edit: *checks insider news* wait .. they did call it Cortana? OK then

Heh. I am not all that used to Vi(m), but this extension seems to be quite powerful. <voice type="Ebeneezer Scrooge"> Bah. dumb bugs </voice>

AFAIK, VBox simply returns 0 (Success) if you try to power off a machine that is already powered off through the VBox Management API, which makes sense to me. <voice type="Ebeneezer Scrooge"> Bah. dumb bugs </voice>

Then it's too bad the optimizer will remove it. :sigh: This space intentionally left blank.

Ah you are right - sorry for overseeing your first post - So Forget my post. :-O But at least I knew about this and that it's documented - thank you anyway for clarification

I will gladly deny. I am not that kind of person to lead others. I prefer solitary work. Microsoft ... the only place where VARIANT_TRUE != true

Not quite... the "$f," only interpolates the value of the f scalar... so the result is the single string: 'field1,field2,field3,field4,field5,field6,field7,field8,field9,field10,field11,field12,field13,field14,field15,field16,field17,field18' Seriously pointless!

I also found something similar today my $select = ""; my (@fields) = ("field1", "field2", "field3", "field4", "field5", "field6", "field7", "field8", "field9", "field10", "field11", "field12", "field13", "field14", "field15", "field16", "field17", "field18"); foreach my $f (@fields) { $select .= "$f,"; } chop $select; For those unfamiliar, @name= array variable, $name = scalar variable. 'chop' is interpreted as a function call with the intentional side effect of removing the last character from the scalar you pass it. As a bonus, plaintext strings surrounded by double quotes must be parsed by the interpreter (this is Perl) and variable names within them are replaced with values.

Just supplying the correct name and an empty id string should do the trick. ;) The good thing about pessimism is, that you are always either right or pleasently surprised.
