Thanks again

FFRonin -- Nice job. Looks like a nice hack...maybe this board could install it, and use it as a reminder to search and check the database first.

I get a 500 Server Error in Ultimate.cgi when i did this.

reinstall it, being more careful. That's my advice.

Just a thought

Gee...Thanx cal.

Sorry, but 9 times out of 10 this is the problem. Always try more than twice before seeking the help of others.

Just a thought

MasterMind, Cal is right, most of the time problems with installing the hack are just typos or something that was missed. It's difficult to be more helpful. One thing I have found VERY useful, however, is to download Perl on your local computer. You can get ActivePerl ( http://www.activestate.com/ ) for Windows platforms. Then to debug a script, just type in "perl Ultimate.cgi" and it will give you the line number that has a syntax error. This makes it easier to find out where things went wrong

Hope this helps.

This is exactly how I debug. Sorry I didn't mention it before.

Just a thought

Umm...I dont even know how to use that thing. Could someone explain how to use it?

It's easy, just download and install activeperl and then you can run .pl and .cgi files from the DOS prompt.

Just a thought

WordPad works best for me. It's so neat and tidy .

If that was in response to me FFRonin, then you are missing the point. ActivePerl lets you execute the script on your machine, not edit it. Anyway, you should use notepad, not wordpad.

Just a thought

No I think I'll stick with Wordpad. Notepad it's too great.

I am now interested....

What has Wordpad got that Notepad hasn't (that you use)?

Just a thought

Well it looks better and it's easier to use. WIth the quick keys and all.

Ahh - I use Win2k notepad (with hotkeys) or a modified version on NTNotepad. Doesn't having to select "Save As Text" bother you?

Just a thought

I don't have Win2K I use the Win95/8 Wordpad version.

That explains it! You can't open large (>64k) files or run a serach and repleace on those versions.

Just a thought

I also use NotePad when I`m on Win 2k
It`s great if u compare it to win9*s notepad...

TML

It renders wordpad obsolete, except for converting carriage return sequences properly (from both MAc and UNIX).

Just a thought

I use ultra edit version 7, beats anything microsoft has to offer.

Includes features such as
FTP
Compare
Search and replace
etc etc

ps. This is not an advert just a recommendation..... that inclues comition, no only joking

No offence, but I HATE "all in one" programs. I like to use a seperate text editor, file comparison progran and FTP program. That way, the elements can be far more powerful than any single program could ever be.

Just a thought

Nice thought cal. I use CuteHTML, which is NOT a "all in one" editor. Because i use a seperate FTP prog as well.

I still use WS-FTP for most of my file transfers, but as fas as an editer goes... Ultra edit does the job just fine.

I use Notepad for editing. If I need to do formatted editing then I use Dreamweaver for HTML and Visual Studio for source code. I use Leech FTP , which everyone should use, cause it's fantastic and free.

Just a thought

I find CuteHTML easyier to use. Find/Replace places everything just so nice.
And i use other progs for other uses. Thats the point.

Everyone should try Leech FTP , because it rocks and it's free.

Just a thought

Can you give me a URL?
I wanna download it.

Just clich on "leech ftp"
