As a school teacher you probably know what manner is, or you not as has noting of it?
You see, 'does no work' is a very poor declaration. It does work and do exactly what you told to do. To describe a problem you should tell us the input, the expected output and the real output.

Hey guys, thanks you very much. I will try to find someone on Craigslist who can do this for a small fee. Again, thank you very much.

Just before you go, please tell us, what do you teach? Are you the box trainer?

To be quite honest I don't know what a box trainer is. I can only imagine that you are making a rude comments which is ok. I teach 12 year old children at a Public School 219 in Brooklyn . We are currently short staff, so everyone does a little of every thing to make our education system work. I was train as a social studies teacher, but I have been teaching everything but social studies. Thank you and have a great day.

And?
They are "your students" - so you should in theory know more than them.
And let's be honest here: reading data and converting it to a table of numbers is a trivial task in any modern language.

"THE VISUAL PRESENTATION DOES NOT WORK" Yes, it does: it does exactly what you tell it to. All you have to do is work out what you want it to do, and tell it to do it...

Which is, as I said, trivial. So what part of it is giving you a problem?

Is the education system in the USA really so rubbish that they let teachers who know nothing about complicated technical subjects teach it to people who probably know more about how to use the technology than the teachers?

If so, then I'd fear for the future of your country, because that is like getting someone who can't drive to teach airline pilots to fly... Sigh | :sigh:

You're meant to be teaching this course. What happens when a student asks you a question about something that is, after all, incredibly simple? Do you wait until the following week to give an answer, the same way that you whinged about a previous lecturer of yours? If you can't write this stuff, you shouldn't be teaching it.

You're assuming a text-file in ASCII? In UTF, a charactar might consist of multiple bytes.

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    string data;
    using (var fs = new FileStream(path: @"D:\Projects\ConsoleApplication6\ConsoleApplication6\Program.cs", mode: FileMode.Open))
    using (var rdr = new StreamReader(fs))
    {
        data = rdr.ReadToEnd();
    }

    using (var fsout = new FileStream(path: "output.txt", mode: FileMode.Create))
    foreach (char c in data)
    {
        Byte b = ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetBytes(new char[] { c })[0];
        Console.WriteLine("{0} {1}", c, b);
        fsout.WriteByte(b);
    }

    Console.WriteLine();
    Console.WriteLine(File.ReadAllText("output.txt"));

    Console.ReadLine();
}

Put the cursor on the first line and press the F9. Next use F10 to step thorugh all the instructions.

I am sorry I approach you the wrong way. I didn't the code project forum was about charging individual for help. After all it is a "forum". The country is quickly becoming second class because those who know do not want help those who do not know. Our jails and prison are full to capacity and prisoners in California are being release prematurely to make room for new prisoners. Think about education the next you see someone getting robs or violated. It could be you, your neighbor or your love ones. Its because of education or lack of education why our prison system is overwhelmed. You disgrace the forum when you make comments about being paid. You tarnish the reputation of the people who genuinely join the forum to help others. You can insult me and be as rude as you want. At least I am trying to help these kids to be interested in something. Have a good day Sir.

OK. Step away from the computer, take several deep breaths, and count to 10.

Then realise that Eddy was joking when he mentioned his "fee". That Griff was joining in with that joke. And that nobody here was trying to insult you or be rude.

I am a proud American and I try to instill the same values in the students. America use to be #1 in everything. Where are we now? I guess we are too busy making jokes. This is the CodeProject, not Comedy Central. Some of the users are going away from the core values of the CodeProject stand for. The jokes are not appreciated by me or my students. Mr. Deeming, thank you for your solution. I have not tried it yet, but looks like very professional. Thank you.

We aren't about charging people for help; but we also aren't about doing other people's work for them; that doesn't help anyone in the long term.

And in the case of teachers, it doesn't help anyone in the short term either. All it does is set you up for a fall - and a big one - when one of the students needs similar help and you can't provide it because you don't understand it yourself. At that point you lose the the whole class. They lose respect for your knowledge in this subject, and at that age probably respect for your knowledge in any subject.
Then how will they learn?

Go out, or use CraigsList - not to get this fixed, but to find someone who knows how to do it, and who'd willing to give up a couple of hours a week to pass that on, with your help as a profession, trained teacher (because people who are technically talented are usually about as good at teaching what the know as a dead monkey...)

That's why I also posted a possible solution, as opposed to haggling you into some agreement. Eveything that's posted becomes a bit of public property. And of the hamsters. Bottom point is, one can't ask money for what's already given.

computerpublic wrote:

The forum is free. It's all simply people talking about their work, sharing bits here and there, helping each other. That's how I learned this stuff, and that's why I'm helping others with their stuff here Smile | :)
