    opengl compile error

    strettonman: it can't be that way because it's inside an "ifndef" statement (if not defined). That means it hasn't already been defined yet. 49 # ifndef _WCHAR_T_DEFINED 50 typedef unsigned short wchar_t; 51 # define _WCHAR_T_DEFINED -------------------------- The best answer to your...

    opengl compile error

    I'm an absolute beginner in C and opengl and was trying out a test program. When I included glut.h #include <GL/glut.h> I got this error: Redeclaration of C++ builtin short line 50 glut.h Is my glut.h defective or am I doing something wrong -------------------------- The best answer to your...

    using tr///

    alright, that makes sense. is there anyway to do this with tr///, or would you have to do something like this: @abc = 'a','b','c'; %alpha = ( 'a' => 1, 'b' => 2, #etc... ); foreach $letter (@abc) { $num =~ s/$letter/$alpha{$letter}/; push(@abc,$num)...

    using tr///

    How come this code: $text = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"; $text =~ tr/a-z/1-{26}/; print "$text\n"; produces this output: 123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJ ? -------------------------- The best answer to your question will definitely be RTFM.

    Help with scanning a huge text file

    or, though i don't dare try it myself, you could try archiving the file every time it is accessed, then simply find the differences and work with those. -------------------------- The best answer to your question will definitely be RTFM.

    replacing a scalar in a test file

    or something like: open(READ,"test_file"); $file_contents = <READ>; close READ; $file_contents =~ s/$word//; open(WRITE,">test_file"); print WRITE "$file_contents; close WRITE; I think that should work...

    parse/modify files

    Try something like: <code> open (READ, "texta.xml") while(<READ>) { if($block1 == true) #block one is definite { open(WRITE, ">texta.xml"); } if($block1 == 2) #two lines of block 1 match { if(m!<bla>no</bla>!)...

    newbie question, date diff

    It would be much easier if you could change the format of the date to make the month a number, preferrably something like this: Wed 7 16 19:05:43 2006. It would help even more if the day of the year could be provided, for example: Wed 226 19:05:43 2006, in which case days could simply be...

    retrieving only the first character from STDIN

    Notice that it uses getc, which, as stated in the perl documentation: http://perldoc.perl.org/functions/getc.html

    retrieving only the first character from STDIN

    Maybe this isn't the best question to ask. I guess I was just curious... It just seemed like the users of certain programs should be able to only type one character and let the program do the rest... I don't know...

    control+m

    I think the first question is why are you using windows? All Unix and Linux distributions that I have seen have the bash shell. The bash shell makes perl so much easier, and it's a good idea in general to be using Linux/Unix.

    retrieving only the first character from STDIN

    The result from that code isn't quite what I was aiming for. I was looking for a way to retrieve the first character of input, which is exactly what that does. But I was also looking for a way for that to be all the user could type. The program would then move on once one character was typed.
