Re: Looking to hire a Purebasic programmer for a project

You could just ask in Off Topic. Skillsets here vary widely across technologies, so a coder who'd be perfect for one project could easily be of little use on another. You need to outline briefly what the project is and what specific skills you're looking for.

I considered doing that, but I was ...

Re: Link Crawler Algorithm

DarkPlayer,

I tried the code and it only retrieved the base url. I then plugged in my Regular Expression and it worked better. However, I am a little rusty at putting together RegEx, it has been a while since I have spent any amount of time with them. FYI, here is the RegEx that I came up which was ...

Re: Link Crawler Algorithm

Hi,

i would not recommend recursion, because this can cause an Stack Overflow if you have a lot of Hyperlinks.
The simplest way would be to add all found Links from the current page to a LinkedList. When you are ready with the current page, you simply continue with the pages in the LinkedList ...

Link Crawler Algorithm

Hi,

I am having a brain freeze and looking for some suggestions. :?

I want to make a small program that will crawl a URL and "harvest" the <a href"......"/> links.

The first part of this project, proved relatively easy (for a newbie). So far, I am able to download any html page and grab all the ...

Re: Expand TreeGadget

I guess placement on of the SetGadgetItemState must be critical as I had originally placed this function after each AddGadgetItem and it did not work for me. However, when I arranged the order like you have suggested, all is working well.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH from Canada!

Expand TreeGadget

I have searched high and low and I can not figure out how to have the TreeGadget default to expanded. I have seen many references in this forum to what must be a old, and now non existent method of expanding the tree.

The suggestion in the user manual says to set the SetGadgetItemState with #PB ...

Is it safe to assume that you have not made any progress as it is now a 37 MONTHS since you made this post? :shock:

Re: The Future of PB

As a newbie, sure I had stupid questions. But I didn't come in and
start saying the language is doomed and the party is over, did I?
He hasn't done it, too. He just asked, if it could be, that
our loved language is dead. :lol:

OMG, not again! Another newbie waltzes in and starts worrying about the future
of a language that has been going strong and supported for 10 years now. :(

The Future of PB

Being new to the "PB platform", I have spent many hours scouring this forum and anything I can find. I realize that the latest release 4.51 was June 2010, however, I can't help but feel like maybe I should not spend too much time learning this system. Most, if not all of the limited information or ...

Re: Validating a website

Well, I am new to Purebasic and I was hoping that there would be a function or so that would even allow me to ping port 80, but I can't even find that. Since you mentioned, it, how would I do that? Maybe the Forum-Search will give you a helpful result.


I was searching this form for about an hour ...
