Good teamwork with Pallini :) Webchat in Europe :java: (only 4K)

Of course I don't believe that's the actual code and I'm pretty sure it hides tons of code behind. Anyway my point is still valid (and you know that ;P). BTW it is friday, have a :beer: or two.

I can't tell you how many times I've tried to find this function - I KNEW there had to be one... I always looked at the list of "String Manipulation Routines", saw strtok and its description, and said to myself "What the hell is a token?" :doh: Thankfully, I followed your link and looked at the example. You're right - this could ease my life in a LOT of cases! :thumbsup: Thank you, sir! MZR

In main(), del is of type BYTE and sizeof(del) is 1. Once it's passed to separate, del is of type LPBYTE and sizeof(del) is 4.

Quite correct - but at the same time, you can't implement EVERYTHING yourself (you're using a compiler you haven't written yourself, I presume :)). It's most important to learn concepts, how they work, and when to apply them. Implementation? Not always so important. Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p

Mike the Red wrote: How do I determine what is efficent/inefficient, or, more specifically, given two algorithms to accomplish a task, how do I determine which is more efficient? you have to identify at all the different actions each algorithm takes, how many times each action is performed for a given input, and the relative costs of those actions. then you can see which operations dominate the processing time for each algorithm. knowing that will help you get an idea as to which algorithm is going to do better for a given input. it might turn out that one algorithm is very fast for small input, but is terrible for large input; so you can switch between them. Mike the Red wrote: Is the most memory-efficient always the fastest-executing? no. and for reasonable amounts of memory, there's probably very little correlation between memory usage and performance. if using more memory lets you turn an O(N2) algorithm (execution time increases with the square of the input size) into a O(1) algorithm (execution time is constant, regardless of the size of the input), use the memory.

The issue is that a standalone constructor call is creating a new instance that you do nothing with, then exits not having actually initialized anything in the instance it was called for. It may be a bit of a hack, but for my class I was able to get away with the method below. Really, though, anything with a properly overloaded operator= should be fine, I think. CClass::Class() { int iDefault = 1000.0f; *this = Class( iDefault ); } Edit: Frankly, though, I feel like I'm brain-farting on something here. I, too, expected it to work like you originally detailed. modified on Friday, June 5, 2009 2:19 PM

After many, many rebuilds and relocating return; statements, I finally found the problem.. Some bad code... too embarassingly bad to post... was copying bad data to m_HR and returning before execution even reached the SHGetFolderPath bit... :~ I thank you both for your help. :thumbsup: MZR

Looks like I've got some serious reading to do... Thanks for pointing the way, frx96!

You must use _tsplitpath. In the dir parameter you will get the path minus the filename. Now you can concatenate the .tlb filename using _tcsncat_s. «_Superman_»

:-D I don't know how none of my searches turned that up, but thank you. I pulled up NetUseAdd in the help file, and the first thing (ok, second thing) it says is that you don't have to actually map the drive - you can use it to just authenticate with the server for future transactions. This should be perfect! Thanks, Mr. Crow - what a great help! :-D
