Login script problem

hahaha that would explain it, the programming stuff I have done is totally different ( and not to say I like microsoft when I mention the languages I have done ).

 

Did some ANSI standard C++ ( No mfc or any of that yet )

 

A little bit of Java

 

Mostly visual basic 6 , ASP and other then that just vbscripts and some javascripts.

 

I really enjoy programming so far.

 

Dont spose you know any good tutorial sites or have any good resources you could send me ( books would be nice lol ).

 

Maybe you could give me some personal lessons on c#.NET lol ( Dreams on hahaha )

well I will be darned.

 

I tested it out and for this vbscript :

 

TwoPos = InStrRev("12345678987654321", "2")

MsgBox TwoPos

 

It returns 16

 

Sorry Gecko, looks like I couldn't count. It sounds like you've sussed it all out though.

[mac_shinobi]

I didnt count, I let the computer do the counting for me, i just copied and pasted it into a new script for testing purposes and made it return the results via a msgbox obviously lol.

 

Ok now for my other thread, stuck on installing gaim, I think I need x11 but I tried to install that and it tells me it cant install because it already has newer software installed or something like that, how the heck do i fix that ?

[kingswood]

Have you updated the OS (System Preferences > Software Update)? X11 is on your installation disc- put the disc in and search for the package and just install from there. If that fails, download the version from the Apple website. I have always been able to get GAIM running easily after installing X11.

Always pull down the latest version, never rely on the one from your installation disc unless it is an emergency.

oh that explains it lol, I will give open office a go I think it may of updated it cos it popped up and asked me about updates and I just checked em all and clicked update and it said it was updating to mac os x 10.4.4 as apposed to 10.4.2 obviously.

 

sucks that it only has a 12" screen but its portable, I will give it that much lol.

 

I got the vga cable so I can hook it to my 21" crt which is 12" inches inverted lol.

 

I used the flux capacitor to invert the 12" inches , hooorraayy !!

 

At least I dont need the patch and ok its the low end power book but in the words of Jim Carrey "I like it a lot!!!"
