Nothing's wrong with strings that can contain embedded NULLs. The fact that NULL terminated strings are so popular is mainly historic. There are times when it's handy or even necessary for a string to contain embedded NULLs, for example the Win32 SHFileOperation[^] function uses strings that have embedded NULLs. Steve

There is no such tool, other than you. You have to manually convert the code by rewriting it by hand. I can't find any such converter. A guide to posting questions on CodeProject[^] Dave Kreskowiak Microsoft MVP Visual Developer - Visual Basic      2006, 2007, 2008 But no longer in 2009...

a. I've been in QA far too long. And my Math background makes me quite anal(ytical). :) b. Nothing like working at dawn for things to dawn. That's the problem with adding CSS attributes to every minutia these days, everything requires a DIV tag around it. Glad you got it fixed.

Suggestions: 1) Use GetShortPathName(). 2) Use UrlEscape(). I'm not sure if either will work, however.

The simplest way would be to use an iframe to display the CGI page within the html document. This would be like a window displaying the cgi content on the html page. If you're up to bit a Javascript you could look into using XmlHttpRequest and parsing the values from the CGI page and injecting them into the html page output. This is more tricky, will rely on JS being enabled and need the CGI page and html page to be on the same domain - but it will allow you to have a more integrated appearance.

Thanks, I didn't note the suggestion part of it -- just saw Bugs and thought it was not right to post it there. I have posted it there now. Hope it helps us all. Regards:) N. Sharjith

You can read the database using perl. There are libraries for that. You can create html using perl. There are libraries for that. And of course perl does CGI. Presumably you already have a way to host on the internet that supports CGI.

Follow the link: http://thechriswalker.net/select-drag/[^] The demo uses list instead of Table. But I am sure you could make it wih list also. Hope this will help you. Anurag Gandhi. http://www.gandhisoft.com Life is a computer program and every one is the programmer of his own life.

Here[^] is my article on my TelnetSocket. Have a look and let me know what you think.

you could try Jython[^]

The problem here is that the date string already contains the quotes - using the placeholder binding means the database driver does the quoting for you. To make your code above work, you just need to replace the $string='\'2010-04-16\''; with $string='2010-04-16';.

Try POSIX::mktime() - you can use that to turn dates and times into a time_t, then add N weeks worth of seconds and turn it back using localtime().

Thanks that works great. Here is what i came up with. #!/usr/bin/perl use Date::Calc qw(Delta_Days); use Time::Piece; ($sec, $min,$hour,$mday,$mon,$year,$wday,$yday,$isdst)=localtime(time); open (MYDATA, "data.txt") or die ("Error: cannot open file 'ARGV[0]'\n"); my @lines1 = <MYDATA>; # chomp @lines1; my $t = Time::Piece->strptime("@lines1", "%b %d,%Y"); $year1 = $year + 1900; $mon1 = $mon + 1; $mday1 = $mday; $year2 = ( $t->strftime("%Y")); $mon2 = ( $t->strftime("%m")); $mday2 = ( $t->strftime("%d")); $difference = Delta_Days($year1, $mon1, $mday , $year2, $mon2, $mday2); print "There were $difference days between Nat and Bree\n"; print "email user\n" if $difference <= 15; data.txt Jan 24, 2010

Since you are running this from a UI form, I would use a BackgroundWorker. This allows you to trap an event when the BackgroundWorker ends, and you can tell whether it completed normally, or whether it failed with an exception and if so what exception it received.
