So, I have been wanting to learn how to save data  into a binary file so that I can load massive amounts of data extremely quick. I figured that the best way to go about this would be creating an example program that could do exactly that. So I started with this program originally to get binary reading and writing working correctly… The most confusing part at first was how to store the dynamic array of integers I was using. I didnt know whether or not we could write the whole block of memory into the binary file or if we had to read through each record and store it individually (which ended up being the case.) After a little playing around, I was able to figure out that this was an extremely easy task because I could set up the template for reading/writing. Continue Reading »

I have an abundance of files that have the same prefix ie 123.xx1, 123.xx2, 456.xx1, 456.xx2 ect that need to be sorted and then placed into a directory with the name of the prefix ie c:\123, c:\456.
I only need to define the location of the resulting directory that the files will be placed.

Features:

• Simple Drag and Drop interface to make life easier!
• Click Sort and watch as your files are sorted into folder’s according to their filenames!
• After File’s are sorted into folders, FileSorter cleans up after itself (deletes the now empty folders)!

Today I came across another cool coding snack (post) on the DonationCoder forums! I figured I’d help Kamel out with his request:

Basically, all I want is a wish list program. This is essentially an itemized list of things I “want”, which I can include details about including price, any http link, and even a price or price range all at my own option of course.

Since we have so many things we *need*, we have to choose each paycheck what we will spend it on. This can be challenging when there are so many small things that we need and want to get, so sometimes we end up overseeing or forgetting important things that we wanted to get. Basically I’d just like to get kindof a ‘master wishlist’ going on, which basically is a way to input items and put some details about them such as price and importance, then order them in a way that I will purchase the things that are important/urgent and cheap first, then things that aren’t urgent but important, then things that are urgent but not important, and lastly things that are neither important/urgent or cheap.

Here is the result program
