      ??????????.dll Some people think of it as a six-pack; I consider it more of a support group.

        I'm assuming you're using the Search Assistant (little dog), but when you type in your file name to search for.. just type the following: ??????????.dll The ? serves as a place holder similar to the "_" that's used in a SQL like statement. I hope this helps. :) DrMaltz "The Code King"

          On a similar thread, does anyone know how to search for certain characters on Google? How would I search for a file name for example: "file.ext" without it mathcing both the name and extension seperately?

            I'm not sure about this but I recently found out that if you want to search for a word/phrase in only one type of document you could type text filetype:swf, and it will search for all flash movies containing "text". I was surprised to find out that google indexes the binary flash files. Another useful (sometimes) thing I found out is that you can use multiple wildcards in phrase searches, try this for example: "my name is * and i am a *". :) Rado

                Everything on this site get voted down. Sometimes because it's a crappy post, and sometimes just because of the people that write it. IMHO the voting system makes more damage then good, and it should be removed... Or... Maybe Chris should make it a bit intelligent, so when someone always vote a 1 for the same people, then the system should ignore their votes. - Anders Money talks, but all mine ever says is "Goodbye!"

I did a google search yesterday that finally yielded an answer I was desperately looking for. I typed in something like this: "foo bar" "fiz bin blah" Note the use of two phrases in separate quotes. Found the answer on the first returned link, and resulted in a very different return than enclosing the entire string in quotes. Google is great! Marc Microsoft MVP, Visual C# MyXaml MyXaml Blog

                                  What sucks is that there's not way to know who voted you down (or up). If the list of those who voted and how they each voted were made public, most people would think twice before down-voting someone. Regards, Alvaro

                                      That implies a data base record for each vote in addition to each post. I have a feeling Chris M. would find that a bit much.

                                        The command prompt command "dir ???.dll" will list all dll files with one, two or three characters before the '.' - so ten '?' would match any .dll files with 1 to 10 character file names. At least that is what happens in XP. Steve

                                          That implies a data base record for each vote in addition to each post. I have a feeling Chris M. would find that a bit much.

                                          The thing is, in order to calculate the total, Chris takes into account each voter's ranking (Gold, Platinum, etc.). So I imagine he has to keep track of each vote (and voter) individually to tally the total -- unless he found a much more clever way to do it. Regards, Alvaro
