What are you working on? v16

[Overv]

We have this SilverLight program that we use on our school to access marks, timetable info, etc, but I want to make it accessible from mobile phones. I started by inspecting the network traffic between the application and the server, but it's sending encrypted binary data (not just SSL), so that's leading nowhere. Right now I'm writing an application that simply sends mouse and key inputs to the app instead. It invokes an "export to Excel" feature which is then read by the actual webserver.

I realise this is ridiculous and prone to errors, so is there any better method? Maybe some .NET reflection or something to access the application?

[QUOTE=Hexxeh;29160939][noparse]Regex ninjas, need a pattern to change all instances of:

[tag=data]blah[/tag] or [tag=data]

into

<tag param="data">blah</tag> or <tag param="data">[/noparse][/QUOTE]

Hope I'm not too late to help, but this will target the first one

"\\[tag=data](.*?)\\[/tag]"

and this, the second

"\\[tag=data]"

if you ask for group(1) or whatever, you'll get "blah"

Most MIS systems have Business Objects you can use to connect straight to the database.

You usually have to get a senior leader/manager to sign an NDA though.

SIMS.net does, I use them. Dunno about Serco.

[RyanDv3]

All you do from here is just do some sort of search through the whole thing and replace group(0) with a string you construct yourself.

ie

<tag param="data"> + group(1) + </tag>

I'm thinking of getting one of these but they're pretty expensive.

Have you attempted using .NET Reflector?

Both the tag, data and param parts can be any string, they're not fixed.

I was just thinking in terms of turning BBcode into a list of objects that I could turn it into pseudo-XML and then parse that, iterate through to create a list of objects.

I've seen some XML to JSON conversion tools, but they appear to only work with strict XML, ie not the pseudo-XML I'd be producing.

Then you need a transformer

[QUOTE=Ortzinator;29171044]My bedroom is 9'x9'...[/QUOTE]

Problem.

Don't you have another room where you can play your guitar, on another chair?

"\\[(.*?)=(.*?)](.*?)\\[/(.*?)]"

That should do it. If there are any more specs, I can work them in.

Also note that the ones I posted earlier had a erroneous parenthesis in them on accident.

I need a way to script camera animation. I was thinking along the lines of a data file:

Time | X | Y | Z | Pitch | Yaw | Roll | Lerp Speed From Last Pos.

Is this a good way to do it?

Minus Swedish tax and PayPals share...
He only gets 40% of what he earns due to Sweden taking its share ;)
Same in Denmark :(
