You could use the C function sscanf (in crt/stdio library) and ingnore the first three values

it created the file on my remote drive. Trouble is, nothing got written to it.

Probably what you need is not a "dictionary" but a "word list"; try searching for that. There appears to be one on Github in text format. I got one for a Boggle-type game I developed in Freebasic years ago, building on somebody else's idea. Such lists may contain non-English word...

IBM S/360 mainframes were big-endian, and the most popular machines when the internet was invented. I believe some minicomputers had little-endian format, but based around 16-bit "words"; I distinctly remember seeing one application transferring data to/from a mini-computer which included ...

My kids say it reminds them of Christmas Jetpack!

1. I don't believe in work. 2. I believe in a cushy lifestyle. Good food, clean water, nice clothes. I love programming but I might love the beach even more! There is only one solution: Marry a rich woman who lives near the beach. In some countries, you could marry a rich man, of course. But then w...

Ah, Work -the curse of the drinking classes.

The curse of the smoking classes too, nowadays.

According to Wikipedia, MIDI predates the home computer, and originated in the synthesiser business. The Standard Midi File format was a bit of an add-on.

First computer I used as a student, Elliott 4100, had 24-bit integers and floats as standard, 6-bit character codes. Think ICT 1900/2900 used similar format. Intel 4004 calculator chip, predecessor of all Intels, had 4-bit integers. Only need 4 for a decimal digit! Depended how many transistors or v...

... but I've never heard of a 3-byte integer ... The MIDI fie specification includes one instance of 3-byte integer, and also wierd variable-length integers - lower 7 bits of each byte are data and top bit indicates another byte follows - e.g &h'8307' decodes to &h'0187'. All integers are b...

jj2007 has the simplest answer for Singles or 4-byte integers - well done! My code contains solutions for 2- and 3-byte signed and unsigned integers. Note, however, that my code assumes a 32-bit compile - assumes sizeof(integer) and sizeof(pointer), and does not include 64-bit integers at all. Obvio...

Thanks, @sancho3, I'll give it a spin. (My example was simplified).)

Is dementia setting in? The following code compiles OK Dim x(0 To 255) As LongInt Function y (z As Long, a() As LongInt) As Integer Function = 0 End Function The following throws error 58: Illegal specification, at parameter 2 (a) of y() in 'Function y ...
