Re: Need Automated Web Scraping Advice

Roger,

As you know, I have dealt with scrapping data from NY State web-sites for over 20 years. I would be happy to help you and Bobby with this. Call me or send a private email if you still need some help.

Re: Test bitmap for pixels

Rudolf,

Have you tried writing to an area outside the viewable screen area?

I have written apps that populate complex dialog screens outside the viewable desk-top and then move the dialog into the viewable screen. This works very well.

Re: Windows 10 Performance issues

I have seen similar slowdowns since later revisions to Windows 7. This was first noticed with dbCommit() commands. I had this structure in many places in my program: DO WHILE !eof() IF chkbook->JUDGE == mcJudge rec_lock(0) REPLACE chkbook->DEPOSIT WITH mlSepBail unlock All DBCommit() ENDIF SKIP ENDD...

Re: addUnZip question

Hi Brian,

I had thought of that, but we receive hundreds of files each day and I had hoped to use the addUnZip testing just to streamline the process.

addUnZip question

Is anyone using the addUnZip.DLL to unzip .ZIP files? If so have you figured out how to use the test option to test a zip file before unzipping it? We occasionally get faulty backup zip files and they hangup the import program when we try to test them. As an alternative is there another unzip option...

KL_MLE

Does anyone know if Ken Levitt is still supporting KL_MLE?

I have tried his old email at VetsPet.com, but no answer.

Re: Fast read pixel of the image file

Roger,

I am surprised that there is no difference. In a 200 by 200 pixel image the y loop is executed 40,000 times. I have seen dramatic speed improvements in loops with fewer iterations. The 50X improvement with your other changes is impressive.

Re: Fast read pixel of the image file

For loops that will execute hundreds or thousands of times, I try to eliminate math functions from the iteration counter. IE: FOR i := 0 TO nXSize-1 FOR j := 0 TO nYSize-1 DO STUFF NEXT NEXT I think this should run faster: nxCnt := nXSize-1 nyCnt := nYSize-1 FOR i := 0 TO nXCnt FOR j := 0 TO nYCnt D...
