Not programming but desperate for answer

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!"

The problem is that we, as programmers, are used to thinking in binary: we either vote 1 or 5. I never saw people voting 2, 3 or 4... :~ Yes, even I am blogging now!

Help, anyone...I need to know the syntax to search for all files that start with any 10 characters and have a DLL extension. I know the *.dll but what do I put for the 10 characters????????? Thanks in advance

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 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

Now there is a great idea :) - Anders Money talks, but all mine ever says is "Goodbye!" ShotKeeper, my Photo Album / Organizer Application [^]

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.

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"
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
