Hey, we're doing all of Terry's work for him. Where's that homework policy hiding? :D

Who wants to predict:

Instr("", "")

?

Zero or one?

Nothing from nothing leaves nothing
You gotta have something
If you want to use QB
Nothing from nothing leaves nothing
You gotta have something
To make INSTR work for me

Another interesting feature:

Code: QB64: [Select]

1. FOR i = 0 TO 5
2.     PRINT i, INSTR(i, "abcd", "")
3. NEXT
4.

Hi friends

I like your participation about INSTR qb's keyword
but I don't want to waste this thread of Terry so I have opened another thread to talk about this INSTR

I had completely forgotten that Billy Preston song. :)

I'm still plugging away on Task 13. I updated all the tasks with numerous spelling and typo error corrections I found. I use an old program called Kompozer to help create the pages. I just found a spell check feature buried deep in the options that can be turned on.

I've tried that one, but I like it's kissing cousin, Nvu, better: http://www.nvu.com/ Note, the link there is for a download at MajorGeeks.com, which I consider a trusted site.

I had no idea you were coding all this by hand. I've always used HTML editors. I don't need to, I know how to code in CSS/HTML, but it's just too monotonous and time consuming to do so by hand, plus, you don't have to memorize colors, especially color blends, etc. These days, hell, I write QB64 apps to build webpages using html templates. That worked great for all my golf coaching programs.

Anyway, glad you found an editor. It will make your life a lot easier, once you play around with it enough to get comfortable with quickly and easily using all the bells and whistles.

Hi Pete
it seems that you are suggesting an older program (nvu) vs that Terry's using for now (Kompozer)
or at least it appears from the link that you have posted

KOMPOZER - NVU 1.0, released in June 2005, is the last official release that you will find at most download sites, however, it isn't the newest or best version of the Nvu software. An unofficial bugfix/update called "KompoZer" is available here. KompoZer is not a cure-all for all the bugs in NVU 1.0, but it does fix some of the major annoyances. If you use NVU 1.0 and it works for you, stick with it. But if you run into problems, give KompoZer a try and see if it helps.

Do you like kidding!

I have both. Nvu is older, but it's also better. Go figure.

Hey Terry
it sounds good! Not like a simple BEEP!

@Pete, why do you find Nvu better? From what I read Kompozer fixed many of the bugs that were present in Nvu. I've not tried Nvu but if there is some compelling reason to use it over Kompozer I'm all ears.
