Hi, Does anyone know of some code analysis tools (add-ins) for VB6? I used to use checkstyle and some other tools for Java, and am looking for something similar for our VB6 project. There is a huge codebase, and as I'm just starting out in VB coding, I'd like advice …

I suspect this is to do with the way in which C interprets newline statements. Look into memory at debug time and find out how the newline character is being represented (CrLf (CarriageReturn LineFeed) for VB). In memory, (CarriageReturn) '/r' is 0D and (LineFeed) '/n' is 0A.

Hi guys, I need to write a piece of code which takes two strings (char arrays) containing hex values and perform an AND operation on them. (The aim is to mask bits from the first value). A Mask value of all Fs means that we don't want to mask any …

Hi folks, I am writing an application in C, but I have the OOP functionality that C++ provides. (i.e., I can only use C library functions).

Hi. I am writing a DLL application in C (using VC6) which calls external DLL functions. Some of those calls execute and return without a problem, but some others don't. When I say they don't return, I mean that either they don't return at all, or else they take a …

I have an array of strings as follows: [CODE]char *sCmdInt[8];[/CODE] I need to use elements from the array to pass to another dll. The function takes two LPSTRs as parameters. What I need to do is copy two elements from the array into ints/longs, and then create two LPSTRs from …

In other words, if the words match, 0 is returned - which is false in boolean terms. So if two words are equal, false is returned. Thus the reason for the ! operator. [code] if (!strcmp(x, "some_string")) { // comparison is TRUE } [/code]

I have an array of strings as follows: [CODE] char *sCmdInt[8];[/CODE] I am filling this array by tokenizing a line of text from a file. I then want to check if element 0 of the array is equal to a value. Eg: [CODE] if (sCmdInt[0] == "ReadMemory32") { // do …
