its perl.exe that takes the 60%

ok thanks for that note, anyone knows about the cpu load problem?

Im having a strange problem here. When im reading from my db in my perl script, everything goes fine. However when I write to the db, the perl script goes from 1% CPU load to 60% CPU load, and stays there. This happens every now and then so not every time when writing to the db. What could cause...

yeah that was the problem.. got it sorted now, thanks anyway! $length = length($answer); $lower= 0; $upper= $length; $hint = ""; for ($x=0;$x<$length;$x++){ $hint .= "*"; } for ($x=0;$x<($length/3);$x++){ $ran = int(rand( $upper-$lower+1 ) ) + $lower; substr($hint, $ran, 1) =...

which makes me think. It should be substr($x, $ran, 1) then

haha it's ok dude! Im not asking to validate this code as it probably is crap. Im not into perl. What im asking is a correct and easy way to achieve the masking goal. In my vision substr($x, $ran, $ran) would be the $ran'th letter of the string $x?

say i have $answer = 'apple' what i want to achieve is getting the string masked and show only 1/3 of the original letters and place this in $hint So $hint could be *p*** or **p*e It seemed to me that when $ran was 2 for example, this line substr($hint, $ran, $ran) = substr($answer, $ran...

$antwoord should be read as $answer.. forgot to rename that one too

well thats just my lack of knowledge of perl... ;) in PHP i have this $hint[$ran] = $answer[$ran]; this replaces the $ran'th element of the mask string with the $ran'th element of the original string, showing part of the original string in the mask string. i thought i could do this in perl...

the generator works, it does have one argument. I used that in another chunk of code as well

oops no sorry I forgot to rename that one for this post, I changed the variables to english for better reading. So that one should be $length

i have written the following PHP function that masks a string with ***'s and then unveils 1/3 of its original letters to form a hint: $length = strlen($answer); $hint = ""; for ($x=0;$x<$length;$x++){ $hint .= "*"; } for ($x=0;$x<($length/3);$x++){ $ran = rand(0,$length-1); $hint[$ran] =...

Is there a possibility to change the colors of a scrollbar of a textbox within director? if so, how? thanks in advance

What code should i use to animate a mask?

I have the following code Dim objFSO As FileSystemObject Dim objTS As TextStream Dim strPath As String Dim strLine As String Set objFSO = New FileSystemObject strPath = &quot;c:\vb\files.txt&quot; Set objTS = objFSO.OpenTextFile(strPath, ForReading) Do While objTS.AtEndOfStream = False...
