This will generate a unique serial number from your username! This is very handy for protecting your software! The code is fully commented so u can see what the hell is going on :o)

This article shows various connection strings, used to connect to various databases in Windows, as well as methods to access and modify data. Some connection strings may require client software to be installed, but most work with Windows 2000.

I modified some database paging code I found on Planet Source Code so that it was a little more straight forward. Included is a sample code file and a sample MS Access 2000 database. Paging allows you to display a specific number of records from a database at a time. For example, if you have 1000 records, you can allow it to display 10 records at a time so you don't have a huge page display. If you're smart, you can add sorting features like the ability to display records starting with 'A' only, but this will get you started.

This page allows you to view and sort all of your tables in an SQL database

This is a combination of InStr and the Like operator. It returns the position of a mask within a string. The parameters are all user friendly variants just like the regular InStr function. Example: InStrLike("Test String 123abc45 Stuff","###*##") returns 13, because 123abc45 matches the mask and it starts at character 13. Hope this is useful to somebody.

This takes 2 strings and returns the percent alike that they are. (i.e. "test string number 1" is 86.48% similar to "teststring numb 2") This function is very useful! You can use it in databases to match data that may have errors in it. Examples being people's names, company names, addresses, or anything else where you may encounter misspellings or inconsistencies in the data. Your feedback and/or votes are greatly appreciated! -- NEW - updated to use byte arrays instead of strings, 50-300% performance improvement! An implementation of the , Ratcliff/Obershelp/Levenshtein method.

RevEx - creates a random alphanumeric string based on a pattern. Think of it as regular expression pattern matching in reverse. Useful if you need to create a random combination of values in a certain format. Letters (lower/upper case) and decimal numbers or any combination or part thereof: boolean, hex, octal values; dates, times, vowels, consonants, phone numbers, zip codes, GUIDs; IP, social security, credit card numbers ...

Converts two character strings of A-Z or AA-ZZ into integer equivalents. Example: User inputs "A", returns 1, user inputs AE, returns 110 and so on.

Please leave comments. It helps me understand what people want or expect from a program like this. This is quite an advanced word processor. You can manipulate files, use the clipboard, print, print preview, setup page margins. You can also send documents as attachments through the email system, but you need the control, which is free, from Axsoft. Also, Microsoft Agent needs to be installed on your system. I have included the character here. Install it to c:\windows\msagent\chars folder. Once done, enjoy TypePad. If you have VCI VisualSpeller, you can also use this application to spell check. This program also can insert pictures from files, files, plus text files. To have the spell checker, a Borland product must be on your computer. Thank you for your interest.

Just a little snip of code that lets you trim a specified number of characters from either side of a string.

This program encrypt or decrypt a text, with a key and a checksum checker. Very good program

Finds words starting with, containing, ending with, >

This script displays records retrieved from the database. You can sort each field and jump to any page in the database. You can customize the records per page and all the colors. You may also attatch a style sheet to change the colors of each class type. this script is very close to being XML compatable. (still in the works).

This code lets visitors to your site perform complex queries. Users may choose if specific words (or phrases) must or must not match - or if they are optional (default).

I've coded many dynamic pages that needed the support of displaying data accross multiple pages. Whith this script, it will build a small navigation that you can display at the top and/or bottom of your results to navigate to the next page. It also supports the ability to only display pages within a specified range. (ie - if you have 1000 pages, it will only write links to 5 of the pages closest to the current page being viewed.)

Add search to your site using a database.

Actually this is kind of fun. This program genaerates 1000000 completely random letters and then uses the microsoft Word Spell check object to look for real words. You can specify the minimum length of text to search for as well as maximum and it will highlight real words. i put an Algorythm that looks for words based on each character position, for example, if "WHOLE" is found it will return 3 words, "Whole", Hole", and OLE". You would be surprised to see some of the words that are generated. Oh well, good for a dyno test on your computer at least. Comments and votes are greatly appreciated.

This example will show you how parse a list a variables quickly with minimal coding.

this is and update of lotto number checker it checks your lotto numbers for you
