Excel Worksheet Help !

ataris — Fri, 28 Dec 2007 15:23:39 +0800

Okay, here is my problem. I have a lot of entries in my excel worksheet, and the date inside is for example 31.12.9999. I need to remove all the . inside the date so 31.12.9999 will become 31129999 before I can upload it into SAP. anyone can help me ? Is there any other way beside using macro ? Using the included excel formula maybe ? If I can do this, it will surely shorten my time to do it.

I need help. Two days ago, I was around lvl 13 when I feel stressed out at the pig hunting place. I killed a person. Then I remember, if I have atleast 1 pvp point, I will not be able to use the newbie (powerful) weapon. Omg, levelling sux now. I am no level 20 and its fcuking stress levelling with the blood saber (atk = 14). holyfak. is there any way to remove my fcuking 1 pvp point ? Or should I buy a new sword now ? my money around 200k and the prices for the swords are damn expensive. should I invest now and buy a sword that I can use for quite some time or should I buy just a decent sword that can replace the blood saber ? hope someone can help me ! (I'm playing as the Shilen Knight)

Problem with functions in a timer (VB)

ataris — Wed, 18 Jul 2007 09:50:29 +0800

Im having a problem with the timer and my codes. Doin a modbus program. The problem is, i got 2 functions, one is DIsend for requesting digital input and receive the data from the modbus and the other one is Analog input that does the same thing but for Analog input. So after I set time interval, let say 1 sec, so after 1 sec, it will send and receive the data and display it on the screen. It works fine if just 1 function sending out but if i set both on to use with the timer, somehow the data received from DIsend will combine with the AIsend. Im so clueless about this. If I use debug, the program work somehow. It will go into the DIsend function, run everything inside then will go into the AIsend function and run everything inside. But without debug, the program is actually run everything inside AIsend then on DI, it will just request the data and the receiveing part, it will go back to AIsend so it combines. Anyone can help me on this mattter ?

need some help with c, very basic

ataris — Thu, 21 Sep 2006 19:30:00 +0800

im quite noob in c. ive search the internet and cant really find the answer i want. in c, when u put answer=5+4*(2+6), it will automatically give the answer according to the precedence. the point is, how can i do to insert my own input like 2+4-2*2 or blablabla and then use the answer command. is it possible ? ive tried like this

printf("Insert number\n");
scanf( " %s", &expr);
answer=expr;
printf(" %d\n", answer);

something like that but the thing is that the answer=expr wont solve the integers but just assign it to the integers, so when i print it out, it will give the same thing from the input. anyone can help me ?

anyway i need to do a calculator with inputs and solve it according to precedence. damn its been hard.
