So what ? C# would also do it quickly with a regular expression. That does not help much if you're doing work on data from a data source in C++, now does it ?

Consider a character if you want to search for one element and a string otherwise. Find('@'); // 0 is default Find("string"); Kuphryn

maybe something along the line of IsNumeric(string.GetAt(0)) ? I am not sure of output of string.GetAt(0), there fore assuming that you are extracting the first character from the string. hope this helps

Fantastic, thanks guys. I think my heads still stuck somewhere painful after my birthday drinks last night :)

Phil, thou art a god :) Knew it had to be something stupid that I was doing, thanks for that link too :) /me gets out my winsocks books to see about your question :)

Just tried it, as well as fixing my counter messup that Append did the trick. Thanks again :)

hehe, a sneaky bit of info hidden in the periodicals, thanks for pointing it out Colin, I'm sure its going to come in handy :) Thanks guys, you're stars :)

Nope, I tried that a couple of days ago but no luck. I've tried it on a couple of different servers and using different commands but didn't help :( Thanks for replying though :)

No, I did not loose my mind. But now that you point it out, and I think about it, I will admit that I was wrong. No excuse can be made for ignorance. :rolleyes: CPUA 0x5041 Sonork 100.11743 Chicken Little "So it can now be written in stone as a testament to humanities achievments "PJ did Pi at CP"."

hehe, thanks for all the help guys, more pointers are always welcome :) My program would be starting the other process up so I'll take a good look at hooks(thanks). The main reason for doing it is because there is a group of us working on a set of programs. We're all students and bored doing the usual 2nd year programming stuff so we're writing some other games and apps and taking requests from local businesses for fun. Just now the way we work it is that we have everyone send in the executables once they're finished their programs but we're trying to get this program and the ftp site-to-site program up and running to make life easier. Because we don't send the sources around we like to be able to check that our programs are working on others machines as well so we can then pass them on. Anyway, thanks for the tips and keep them coming :) if anyone knows the solution to my CFtpConnection::Command problems feel free to help :)

Sorry, forgot to mention that I'm using VS.Net to make this, so its that version of MFC thats being used. So far all I've discovered that the CmdResponseType is defined as an enum in the afxinet.h file, but I can't for the life of me make any use of it at all :( Thanks for any help I may get

Hi! Download whole package from winace.com (http://www.emerge.de/ftp/dev/unacedll.exe). It contains not just only dll, but also documentation and sample sources which are rather helpful. Mukkie

No probs on getting to pick the txt file but what I need is for the program to be able to notice duplicate entries in the txt file and then pick one of them out, ignoring the rest of the duplicates. Easy - let STL do the dirty work for you. If you store the information in an STL set, it will discard duplicates as you go. I've written an article on this, just search for 'graus map set' to find it. You can also read a text file into an STL container in just three lines of code - I show that in my STL articles as well. I don't see anything wrong with the string you're setting, but if you're getting an escape code erro,r chances are you tried to insert a \, and forgot to put two of them, as \\ is the code for \, as \ denotes the begining of an escape code, such as \n for newline, or \r for return. Don't feel silly, you should see some of the stuff I asked when I was starting. We all start somewhere. Christian The tragedy of cyberspace - that so much can travel so far, and yet mean so little.
