It's not that I dont want to explain it, it means it's going to take long. I have uploaded my experiments to ftp://ftp.uunet.co.za/pub/incoming/CryptoTests.zip (and no clickety, use a decent FTP client or DL manager).

Hi,

I've read your thread. I agree that sometimes it's frustrating not to get the answers you'ld like, but if Cpians don't know the answer, they can't give it to you.

Regarding your question. If I understood correctly you want to write your own encryption tool?
Encryption is actually nothing more then mathematics. If you can find out how the mathematics is applied in encryption you would be able to encrypt/decrypt files/strings/...

I have written (a very, very) simple encryption tool for strings a while back. I don't know if it can help you. (if you think it would, I can send it to you)

My suggestion would be that you look up the mathematics you need and start from there.

Good luck with your problem!

Coulda, woulda, shoulda doesn't matter if you don't.

I said likely, not definately!

Listen, Ive taken a look at all your threads that you've posted here, and you seem like a polite enough kid who's just eager to learn...which is a good start. However, bully tactics like "ill post this every day until it gets answered" will end up annoying people.

Let me give you some advice, start by reading the thread stuck to the top titled "How to get answers to your questions". Note that it says that for coding questions you should post the relevant code you are using. Nobody can help you with a coding question without it.

That said, you are asking about a very specific corner of the framework that not everyone deals with. Even in a community as large as CP there will be few people that really know this well. What this means is that if YOU want to learn this corner of the framework you'll have to spend days, and maybe even weeks reading, trying and understanding the crypto classes. Nobody can hand you this knowledge within one simple post.

Good luck, and your enthusiasm for answering other people's questions has not gone unnoticed I promise!

How can I access these elements? This doesn't work:

combining subexpressions into 1 Regex expression

theFrenchHornet12-May-06 5:04

theFrenchHornet

12-May-06 5:04

I want to check for a decimal number where one or more digits are allowed before the decimal point (in which case digits after the decimal point are optional) or one or more characters are allowed after the decimal point (in which case digits before the decimal point are optional). The decimal point is optional, but you cannot have just the decimal point.
e.g. 1.3, 1., .1 all ok.
. not ok.

The pattern @"^\d+\.?\d*$" takes care of the case where there are digits before the decimal point.

The pattern @"^\d*\.?\d+$" takes care of the case where there are digits after the decimal point.

Either one by itself is not sufficient.

I thought I could combine them to have an either/or expression the way you would have [a|n] to say either 'a' or 'n', by making them subexpressions like this:
@"[(^\d+\.?\d*$) | (\d*\.?\d+$)]"

It doesn't work, though. This matches on each digit and the decimal point. e.g., 30.5 give 4 matches - '3', '0', '.', '5'.

I can achieve what I want in other ways, but wondering if someone can tell me if there is a regular expression to do what I want and/or explain why the last pattern matches on each digit - I'm not seeing it.

Thanks.

How to Exit Nested Methods

How do I exit multiple, nested, methods when a condition is true?
For example, an event is invoked, then when x = 0, stop activity

<br />
void event1(...) {<br />
   //this event is called first<br />
   method1()<br />
   //more stuff<br />
}<br />
<br />
public void method1() {<br />
   //some stuff<br />
   method2();<br />
   //more stuff<br />
}<br />
<br />
public void method2() {<br />
   //some stuff<br />
   method3();<br />
   //more stuff<br />
}<br />
<br />
public void method3() {<br />
   //some stuff<br />
   if (x == 0) {<br />
      //now exit<br />
      //????????<br />
   }<br />
   //more stuff<br />
}<br />
<br />

If x = 0, the "more stuff" should never be done.

I know I can exit each separately, but I would have to test x each time.
Thanks for any help.

You could use a return code instead of using 'void' everywhere.
The return code would indicate if the method succeeded...
Your code would become:

void event1(...) {
  //this event is called first
  if (method1())
  {
    //more stuff
  }
}

public bool method1() {
  //some stuff
  if (method2())
  {
    //more stuff
    return true;
  }
  return false;
}

public bool method2() {
  //some stuff
  if (method3())
  {
    //more stuff
    return true;
  }
  return false;
}

public bool method3() {
  //some stuff
  if (x == 0) {
    //now exit
    return false;
  }
  //more stuff
  return true;
}

another way would be to use exceptions which would make your code look like:

void event1(...) {
  try {
    //this event is called first
    method1();
    //more stuff
  }
  catch (Exception e) {
     // something went wrong...     
  }
}

public void method1() {
  //some stuff
  method2();
  //more stuff
}

public void method2() {
  //some stuff
  method3();
  //more stuff
}

public void method3() {
  //some stuff
  if (x == 0) {
    //now exit
    // create an exception
    Exception e;
    // blablabla...
    throw e;
  }
  //more stuff
}

Hope this helps...

Do not work MVR 1000 sx(Canopus) with DirectX.Capture. Somebody know what's problem?
