Hi,

I have a question and request. My question; is it possible to make a program that can go into a document in MS Word and find every '<'. Then number it(1,2,3 etc.) so you can see the number in front of it? My request; Can someone possibly make this for me or knows somewhere where I can get it?

CTRL+F, replace

[edit]nvm, miss read[/edit]

Still do able, but word uses formating, so replacing all the < may replace a < that is needed.

The only way I know of is with ascii characters, but unfortunately, this is what a word doc looks like in ascii


You would have to find a way to read the binary properly.

This sounds like a familiar programming assignment, you could always just paste the text into notepad and then use the READ STRING command.

Are you talking about just DarkBasic? Because if you can I would recommend going and downloading Visual C++ Express 2005 and using that to write it. It's probably just me, but searching strings in C++ seems a lot easier than in DarkBasic.

That is blank or something, the TEXT is regular text. So you don't need to read anything but strings.

ok if I pasted it into notepad how do I use the Read String command?
And no it doesn't matter what language its in. So I could do it with Visual C but 1 problem, I don't know how! Also this is not for me by the way nor is a school assignment. Not sure what Account inactive and Merranvo are getting at.

When you have a question about code post it in the Darkbasic or Darkbasic Pro area.

being a kind person i'll write a c app for you, i'll post the source and the exe if you don't have a compiler, i'm using devc++ but it should equally work in vc2005 if you start a console application

I guess the language does matter. You didn't like the Darkbasic code I posted that does what you requested?
