Once it's in an external configuration file, it no longer matters whether it's the mapped Q: drive or \\serverQ\share1 that's referenced because it can be changed without changing the software.

One guidelines for C/C++ programmerNo, I will never do this. I would leave the job interview if I was 'corrected' on this when I wrote code.

Twitter: and I thought Facebook was inane...Althoug it may look like it's a bunch of adolescent drivel sometimes, ironically, actual adolescents are conspicuous by their absence.

3G Mobile Broadband (UK)I have a Vodafone one too, I only signed up to get a cheap laptop. My experience is largely similar, but I've only tried it a couple of times. Julian

Billie Piper returning to Dr Who.Now, hold on just a cotton-picking minute. I quite fancy Catherine Tate, but I accept I wouldn't climb over Billie to get to her.

Odd formattingYour sympathy has overwhelmed me. :laugh: You're right though, it's fine at home. That's what I get for killing time at work...

Odd formattingIs it just me, or have the icons gone funny. I'm getting a grey (gray) folder icon, which causes each line to be badly formatted. I thought for a moment that it was related to FF 3 Beta, but it wasn't. Julian N.

How to display # using / and %Another possibility is comething like this. Obviously this will destroy the input value, but if its needed it can be saved first.
// value is the 5-digit input value int[] digit = new int[5](); for( int i = 4; i >= 0; --i ) { digit[i] = value % 10; value /= 10; }

Text Message SpamIn Britain, SMS is always free to receive and most people have a plan where it's free to send or virtually so. I haven't experienced any trouble with spam texts, I occasionally get offers from my phone provider, but little else. OTOH, I don't download ringtones or games, or give out my mobile number to anyone I don't know face-to-face, so YMMV.
