Just how difficult would it be to design my own computer language? Is there a complier-compiler available that will churn out a compiler (or preferably an interpreter) if I give it a grammar in BNF for example? I would like to design a language that can do things with blocks of text, as described in questions above. Maths etc not needed. Would it be possible to find a freeware compiler for a simple version of BASIC written in Forth, for example, and modify it to my needs? Perhaps what I want to do is something like an old-fashioned macro-preprocessor. 92.27.154.180 ( talk) 00:28, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
Perhaps a Template processor or something related to it is what I am seeking. Chances are there is already a language out there that can do what I want, if I can find it. The essential thing is to be able to deal with blocks of text (such as paragraphs or even pages) rather than just lines. 78.151.128.59 ( talk) 12:25, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
I prefer just simple plain text files. A paragraph has a blank line (ie two carriage-returns) above and below it. A page has a page-break character above and below it. Or the start or end of the file as appropriate. I did not think AWK could deal with blocks of text, only lines? Perhaps Perl etc could do what I want, but its hidden by a lot of other stuff that I don't want to use. 78.151.128.59 ( talk) 13:06, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
gawk 'BEGIN{RS="\n\n"}{print "Para: " FNR "\n"; print $0 "\n"}' [your input file]
. For Python, you can just read the whole text and split pages on one regexp for pages, and on another for paragraphs. Of course you need to decide what you want to do if a paragraph is on two pages... --

I'm really interested in this whole netbook thing, but am left with questions regarding their actual performance. Would most netbooks be able to handle running an XAMPP instance along with an IDE like PHPEdit or Netbeans and an open browser? Or would that max out the current average hardware setup available? 218.25.32.210 ( talk) 02:37, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
Help. My toolbar (if thats the correct name for it) has suddenly vanished - the gray bar across the top of a window that says file, edit ... tools etc. Instead there's a dark blue bar across the top with an e in lighter blue with a gold ring on it which does nothing, then a gray bar with the address, refresh and google search stuff, then another gray bar with a star which does nothing and a W. How can I get back to normal? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.64.88.193 ( talk) 04:13, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
Microsoft Windows XP, Media Center Edition, Version 2002, Service Pack 3. This information hasn't changed since I had my old top of the screen. The new dark blue and gray top is on all internet screens. Thanks for replying. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.64.88.193 ( talk) 08:13, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
Hi Astronaut. Thanks for writing. I tried F11 and the whole gray and blue top disappeared, so I had nothing. I tried right-clicking on each level and the only thing I got was a small box which said " Restore to smaller screen (in light gray, not useable) Move, Size, _ Minimize, X Close Alt + F4." By looking at my ADD and REMOVE PROGRAMS I saw that I have Windows Internet Explorer 8 with five updates and Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 with 3 updates. I tried removing Explorer 8 and it gave me all kinds of warnings that many programs might not work properly if I did that. The first time I quit, but I get so much grief (for example Task Manager is terrible) that I went back and removed Explorer 8 and let the chips fall where they may. Well I got into a terrible loop as soon as I got back from restart which seemed to come from my registry so I was able to restore back to being stuck with Explorer 8. Besides, that might not even be the problem, since this blue top has only been around for a day or two and I got Explorer 8 in October. I tried removing two recent non-security updates but it didn't make any difference. Please help. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.77.181.227 ( talk) 15:28, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
I pressed Alt and nothing happened, no difference. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.233.227.101 ( talk) 20:02, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
The bar across the top which normally says "File Edit View Favoirtes Tools Help" is missing. There is no "View" but thanks for replying. I pressed F10, and all the other Fs - nothing happens except with F11 I gain and lose what bars I have. On the right of the "W" bar is a blank gray square which, when I click on it gives me a new blank screen on top of what I doing, and a small square between the star and the "W" which has four even smaller boxes in it which, when I click on them enables me to switch from one window to the other. When I first got Explorer 8 I could get up to seven bars across the top and the toolbar was one of the bars which I could uncheck. Therefore I think this problem might have something to do with Explorer 8. ALSO it only happens when I'm on the internet, when I'm looking at something within my PC I get the normal toolbar. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.77.193.59 ( talk) 17:34, 21 November 2009 (UTC)
WOW Thanks for telling me about imageshack, it's really interesting and useful. I took a printscreen of this page as I see it and saved it by paint>edit>paste>save and here it is: this image I hope you can see it. As you can see I don't have the pink areas and all the other things which you have, and no F key makes any difference except F11 makes the whole top disappear and clicking on the square gray box gives me another, blank screen and a little box between the star and the W which I can use to switch from one of my screens to the other. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.77.193.59 ( talk) 20:40, 21 November 2009 (UTC) Here I used the other window to switch from here to imageshack, took a printscreen and uploaded it so you could see it here. This is about all I can do now - I can't print, save, create an icon, save in favorites, have any tools etc. Here's the second page
1)My Default Internet Browser is Version 810.6001.18702 What's yours? 2)I tried changing the themes to all others and the appearance to all others, the effects from all checked to all blank and the advanced within appearance from desktop to active title bar. All changes made no difference at all. 3)My operating system CD says "Only use this DVD to reinstall the operating system on a Dell PC", nothing about having an option for repairing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.233.41.226 ( talk) 21:59, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
The only pop-ups I get are "Move, Size, Minimize, Maximize, X Close Alt+F4" when I right click on the top blue bar and "Cut, Copy, Delete, Open IME" when I right click on the address bar. That 810 should have read 8.0 (sorry - typo) but I'm more interested in the 18702 vs. 18828. I'm really curious - when you go to that About.com>Computer Problems Solved what place do you see Besser Computer comming from? I don't think I see the same place as you do. And I really don't think it's a matter of repairing Windows XP, that seems to be an extreemly drastic and risky measure for such a small problem. I did a registry scan recently and of course it found a zillion errors in my registry, which for free it would clean about five and for $$$$ it would clean the rest. I didn't even clean the five and deleted it but it keeps coming back. It's called Advanced Registry Optimizer. Do you know anything about it, and could it have anything to do with this? I think this is a bug in Explorer 8.
Hi,
I got new computer and I want to install C/C++ on it, where can I download it for free (if possible at all).-- Gilisa ( talk) 09:16, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
Technically, C and C++ are not for "interacting with the system at its deepest level". Most modern operating systems are written in C and C++, and the APIs they provide are in C and/or C++, but a fair amount of the principal core of the operating system is often written in assembly language, or in assembly language embedded in C or C++. And other than that, the dialects of C and C++ the operating system provides as an API usually has a heavy amount of system-specific extensions. Standard C and C++ abstract away a fair deal of stuff, and newcomers to the languages are usually surprised how far away from the physical machine the languages are - they tend to think that if their own personal operating system includes a C API to do something, then that feature is part of C itself. Nevertheless, out of modern production languages, C and C++ are usually as close to the physical machine as you need to go, unless you're actually developing your own operating system or your own device drivers. Programming directly in assembly language might bypass some of the code already written in the operating system or device drivers, and if that code is actually better written than your own, it might hinder the performance instead of helping it.

There is a button on my ASUS 5738Z which does something with the graphics card such that it uses less power. Is there some way that I can maintain this functionality while triggering some script to close programs that aren't necessary? I'm running Windows Vista. I downloaded this scancode program: http://www.brothersoft.com/scancode-download-199761.html but it does not respond to the special keys (e.g. this energy-saver key, the bluetooth-disable key etc) on my keyboard. Also, how would I write such a script in Windows (what would be the simplest way)? ---- Seans Potato Business 18:37, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

As for shutting down programs, you could create another batch file. If I wanted to shut down spoolsv.exe, for example, I would type this into a file:
@echo off
taskkill /f /im spoolsv.exe
It think the taskkill command is only available in Windows Vista Business and Ultimate, though. If you're using another version, then we can use VBScript or JavaScript to automate the shutdown.-- Drknkn ( talk) 19:41, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

For Each objProcess in colProcessList
objProcess.Terminate()

To use the VBScript, you'd save the code into a file with a .vbs extension and then double-click on the file. You can replace the Notepad.exe text above with the file name for any other file you want to terminate.-- Drknkn ( talk) 16:54, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
Most library computers I use now have blue rectangles at the bottom of the screen and a green start button. Today, I was using a computer with Firefox that had gray rectangles at the bottom of the screen and a gray start button. Whenever I would use the actual down arrow, it would go right to the bottom of the page. The up arrow would return me to the top. To go anywhere on the page, I had to use the mouse and the up or down arrow on the screen, which I find annoying. Vchimpanzee · talk · contributions · 19:43, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
If you expand a cell in MS Excel and type in a really long number like 1234567890987654321, Excel will automatically round it to 1234567890987650000. That's if you're left enough space, of course; it gives it to you in scientific notation if you don't. Is there a setting to change to force Excel to keep more digits? Failing that, is there another spreadsheet-style program that would? I'm using Excel 2002 in Xp and Excel 2007 in Windows Server 2003.

I have a folder on my desktop called "Perforce" and I can't delete it. Every time I try it gives the message "Could not find this item. This is no longer located in C:\Users\Jeska\Desktop. Verify the items location and try again". I've restated the computer three times now, and no programs are using this folder. How can I delete it? Windows 7 btw
I have a hard drive that was removed from a computer and I want to put the files on it onto my new computer. Does anyone know if any big electronics stores like Best Buy, would do it. Thanks in advance!

That's if you're left enough space, of course; it gives it to you in scientific notation if you don't. Is there a setting to change to force Excel to keep more digits? Failing that, is there another spreadsheet-style program that would? I'm using Excel 2002 in Xp and Excel 2007 in Windows Server 2003.
>>> rows = 15
>>> a = int("2" * n) for n in range(1,rows+1)]
>>> b = n * n for n in a
>>> for i in range(len(a)):
... print ai], bi

I have a folder on my desktop called "Perforce" and I can't delete it. Every time I try it gives the message "Could not find this item. This is no longer located in C:\Users\Jeska\Desktop. Verify the items location and try again". I've restated the computer three times now, and no programs are using this folder. How can I delete it? Windows 7 btw
I have a hard drive that was removed from a computer and I want to put the files on it onto my new computer. Does anyone know if any big electronics stores like Best Buy, would do it. Thanks in advance!

Thanks, I tried that at home but it wouldn't plug into my computer or his. Do you know how much asking Best Buy to transfer files would run me?
