Thx!

I know. I just dont want to search for all the readstring / writestring and add the #PB_Ascii, I could skip one and mess it even more.

Hi!

I have a program, writen 3 years ago.

Now I have to make some changes and it is messing by database. It recorded items a BYTE ASCII and now it is using UNICODE.

Is there a way to tell the compiler to use the old BYTE ASCII system?

If not, is there a way to force all readstring and ...

I will give a shot to this "net use..." thing. The real problem is that I don't if the user has selected a normal folder, or a networked one.

My idea was disable the "copy" button if destination wasn't available, but perhaps, give them an error msg after copying error is enough.

Anyway, thank you ...

I have made this proc to check if a directory exist or not:

Procedure.i DirExist(path.s)

If FileSize(path)=-2
ProcedureReturn #True
Else
ProcedureReturn
EndIf

EndProcedure

Also, I have a "Z:" unit (windows) on my computer: it is a shared folder (another computer through a wifi ...

Hi!

Can you explain me what is your program for?

Thank you.

Simply Bluetooth if each guest agrees to wait his turn to send his photos.
OR
A shared folder (guest account) and a Wi-Fi hotspot (prevent guests from having to use the Internet and speed up transfers)
:wink:

-Bluetooth: LoL. Could be, but not. And BT is slow...

-Shared: not bad if guests on ...

Too complicated to ask a random guy to install apache on his computer... Thx anyway.

Why should the guests transfer the pictures to the internet?

They do not have to transfer pictures to the internet. Using internet for this is one of the possible solutions.

AS I explained, my client wants to print photos done by the event' guests.

Imagine you are on a wedding, you make a ...

I have a request from a client, and I am not sure how to do it.

He have a computer in an event (like a wedding) with a printer.

He wants to receive photos by the guests so he can print them.

It has to be done as easily as possible.

I think it has to be done with spider basic, but I am asking ...

This is the code:

-White can have any value from 0 to 255, with no decimals. It can be a float or a integer.


procedure white-gamma(white)

gwhite.f=white/255

for n=0 to ALOT

If white<>255 ; ### White Point correction
r=*red\a*gwhite:If r>255:r=255:EndIf:*red\a=r
g=*green\a*gwhite:If g>255:g ...

If a is of type Ascii, you will never be able to get a value above 255. It will always overflow. So you condition "a > 255" will never be true.
b.a = 100
a.a = 200

a + b
Debug a ; shows 44
Well, it works like this without branching, and therefore the prefetching of your CPU can help to make it ...

Problems of not speaking non-native language.

If you have a byte/ascii variable, and add over 255, then it start again:

a.ascii=200+100=300, and a is really 300-256=44, so a=44

so

a.ascii=200
a=a+100
if a>255
a=255
endif


will never work as the "a.ascii" is a loop between 0 to 255.

a.q=200
a=a+100
if a>255
a=255
endif


does work.

I ...

Yeah, I know.

If I define "a" as ascii, I will never get a value over 255, so I can't know if it was.

In my code (it is an "image color levels / gamma" ), I use this:


Protected *red.Ascii, *green.Ascii, *blue.Ascii, x,y,r,g,b,gwhite.f,gblack.f
r=*red\a*gwhite:If r>255:r=255:EndIf:*red\a=r
