The reason I voted no is not because they are useless. Because I thought script may not be helpful. Don't get angry of me, change my vote if it is really that important.Quote:
I just find it ironic that people who voted against code tags should be in favour of coloured crayons for writing code
I am now making big changes to my painter. It will have an option dialog, and will have capability to add or remove keywords. Its code can go muchbetter than this. I will make it better, then I open it source.
mrafcho001: Ok, so you are selfish when it comes to your code... the only reason I could ever see not going OS is when it is a proprietary project that would be hard to sell support for. These programs I assume are never going to marketed other than free.
Also the reason you want others to be able to look at your code... consider where the linux project would be without the thousands of people who have worked on it. I have found bugs in OS software, found out how to fix it, and sent the diff in to the manager of the project. That is one less bug they have to worry about.
mrafcho001: If you want to stick to your code in a pathetique display of intelectual property, be my guest. Probably your code is just too good for everyone else. You are a guru and your techniques are very valuable trade secrets. I'm sure you are serious in your attempt to make money out of your code. Yeah.
Salem, genie as always!!
Echo Mario. (#~28 i think)
To be honest though, I've only recently changed my mind about OS-ing code. I used to be in Martin's boat. Why not, though. It's not as though we get paid for writing these programs, so why not? That's the question you should answer, Martin. Not why for!

Not if he's giving the programs away for free :D
Now you can change keywords and they will be saved on HDD for future use.
[EDIT]
MS Form designer is knocked out and I'm writting the code myself. It gives error about circular ownership and HRESULT- E_UNEXPECTED and doesn't work.
Can we download it to at least test it?
Code:#include <iostream>
int main()
{
std::cout << "Bah you call that colorization? This is colorization!" << std::endl;
}
Wow, Thantos, that's impressive! How long'd that take?Quote:

Where can I place it? I mean a site so you can download it.Quote:

Any of the many free webhosts on the internet.
[edit] I don't think your highlighter does what it's supposed to here:
It looks okay, but (besides the redundant double quotes) I think that it worked by a fluke, detecting /*//*/ as two separate comments, /*/ and /*/, judging by the colouring. Try this:Code:/*//*/
/*//*/
[color="green"]/*/[/color][color="green"]/*/[/color]
[/edit]Code:/* foo // bar */
Of course, but I don't have any in mind. And lazy to google. Just direct me to a good one please.Quote:

I can't recommend any one in particular. frandt.com was the best one around when I was looking for free webhosts, but that was a few months ago.
[edit] Ugh, look what you get when you google for frandt:
You might try thefreecountry.com.Code:FRandT - OfflineFRandT. This site is temporarily unavailable. Please notify the System Administrator. 2.

If you give it thisIt gives you this:Code:/*//*/
/* foo // bar */
/*/
Code:[COLOR="Green"]/*//*/[/COLOR.]
[COLOR="Green"]/* foo // bar */[/COLOR.]
/*/
