Re: Speed up processing a certain string


The pattern is roughly "word word number number number word number number"
e.g.: "D1 SOD523 285 705 0 DX.410052E 0 0"

Can I expect a regular expression to be faster yet flexible enough to cover up all my premises?


I took Stargates example and just let the regular expression replace your blanks ...

Re: Fixing a bad column inside an image ?

I fiddled around with the image given above and found a solution at least for this image.

The thought behind is, that a whole column is too bright, so that its brightness should peek out if compared to the column before.
When found such a column, calculate the average of each pixel in the previous ...

A temporary workaround could be to find and replace the same pattern and hit "replace all".
The find/replace dialogue will tell you how often it has replaced the searchpattern.

Re: Multithreaded read/write/parsing of files

Using an SQLite database as skywalk mentioned should be especially usefull when parsing thru the file more than once.

Maybe it even works if you create an in-memory db (i never had such big amounts of data so i can't say if the SQLite-engine swaps data from RAM to disk in that case).

When using a ...

Re: Saving 8bit Raw data as 8bit 256 color JPG no way

I have reviewed all posts regarding GDI+ and FreeImage but unfortunately didn't find anything useful.
I have Jpeg images encoded (in Photoshop) but this not the solution I need.
You could try libjpeg (or libjpeg-turbo) and include the .dll to your project or you could call some external tool to ...

Re: Saving 8bit Raw data as 8bit 256 color JPG no way

Haven't tried it, but why not taking the BMP-image from memory with CatchImage() and saving it as JPG?

You could change your ProcedureDLL Save8bitImage() like this (untested!)
Protected img_no
