    Hey, Thanks for your reply. I was just going over my code again and noticed the same thing!! Arg, stupid mistake! I meant to comment that line out because that was the old way before I used strdup, but forgot to. Thanks for your help, this is a great forum. Later

    Hello, just before my program exits I am trying to free up all malloced memory, however when I try to call free on one of my char * I get a segmentation fault. Here is some of my code. Here is my structure....it is a linked list: //this is a structure for our file information struct...

    free and malloc question

    Thanks for the answer. So just to be clear, if I don't call free on all my malloced pointers when the program ends the OS will "probably" free up the memory for me anyway, but I should really do it myself just in case another program calls my program. Plus it is just good coding practices...

    free and malloc question

    Hey, I am new to C and I am writing a small program similar to grep. I am using some linked list structures so I don't have to have a staticly defined array. I use malloc to create each new structure. What I am wondering is, do I have to call free on each pointer when the program ends? I...

    set focus on text box after validation

    Hey, You seem to have extra { and } in there. But to set a fields focus you would do this field.focus(); with field being a reference to the field object for example: document.formname.txtActRevenue; Hope that helps. Later

    Getting current line number

    Hey, I am trying to write personal error_log for a perl program I wrote. What I want in the error_log is the line number where the error occured, the file name and the error message. I know how to get the file name ($0), and I will send my own text message, but is there anyway to get what...

    Digest::MD5 help

    hehehe...yeah, I just wanted to give an idea of how I was comparing and where it was failing. As for the new line character, well I have thought of that but I dismissed it because the password is hardcoded on both the dev system and the production system in a file that is called from cron. For...

    Digest::MD5 help

    Hello, I work on a web application that uses md5_hex to store and verify passwords. I needed to write a perl program that can be run from the command line and connects up to the database but the user must pass in a username and password. I made the authentication pretty much exactly the same...

    grep an array for an element

    I wrote this whilst other people replied but here it is anyway......probably a little verbose but it works :). You can make it better but I am too busy at the moment. #!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; #make our variables my @a1 = qw/1 3 5 7 9 11 13/; my @a2 = qw/1 2 3 4 5 6 7/; my @new = ()...

    Syntactic Sugar and speed

    Thanks for your input. Yeah, I didn't think there was any difference in speed or if any very miniscule. However, I like to program that way because I feel it is eaiser to read and debug, whereas some do not and I get the feeling that they feel it is bad programming or something....like doing a...

    Syntactic Sugar and speed

    Do the various 'Syntactic Sugar' options slow down perl programs? ex: #$r is an apache request object $r->print("<form name=\"thisform\""); #vs. $r->print(qq@ <form name="thisform" @); I am just wondering because I find the qq makes complicated html print statements...
