Learning C with the Amiga

[Karlos]

Precisely.

That's not parsing text, that's building text. String concatenation may be a viable option there, but even then there are other solutions.

Most database stuff I've had to do that wasn't from a basic LAMP/ASP perspective has all been in C++ anyway and there the basic string class has proved more than adequate for said purposes.

#include

More search/match/replace power than you can throw a very large stick at ;-)

Stop being ignorant, I was giving Karlos an example where string concacting becomes useful and saves time.

Do you really think I needed an example?

As I'd already said, I either used the C++ string class (which supports concatenation) or found other solutions for C. For PHP, ASP, Java etc., I used the inbuilt concatenation.

The point being that if a language doesn't have string concatenation built in it may be annoying but it's hardly a serious limitation provided it gives alternatives.

Moi?

I'm very easily bribed by the promise of a good hot curry... :lol:

That's easily the least appetising looking curry I have ever seen :lol:

Somewhat off topic here...

I think you'll find Mel is also Muslim.

Not that it's really anybody's business but hers but I don't recall her saying that she is or not. Only that some of her family are.

That's easy, even without forgetting about C:

Watch closely....

C is the best procedural language bar none, C++ the best all round multiparadigm language and VB.net is soley the province of those unable to realise the aspiration of being real developers. Lastly, java, whilst being syntactically clean and nice is for workshy pseudo developers that are afraid of implementing absolutely anything for themselves or having to know the first thing about system level development.

:-P

(incidentally, I'm just winding you all up)
