( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

It's not that we have a problem helping. That's what the whole site is about - if we didn't like helping, we would be elsewhere.

It's that we generally don't like doing it for someone.

It's just a lot easier to help someone who shows some effort than someone who shows no effort.

My wife had to take a computer course for her degree, too. She took a course that taught QBasic on the Mac. She got mad at me for not doing some of it for her, too. But, when she completed the course, having written some really basic (no pun intended) programs, she was quite proud of them. No way she could write a lick of code now, but she was proud of it at the time. Got a good mark, too, if I recall correctly. But all I did was help - not do it for her.

So, if you could show what you've attempted so far, and where it isn't doing what you think it should, there will be people falling over each other to help you. Really.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
