Does anyone know an easy way to print all the messages in your inbox? Not all the actual messages, but the a list of all the that you see (from, subject, date, etc). I need to do this on a work computer, so I can't install any software. Thanks.

holy cow, that works! Norm, I sincereley appreciate the help. I don't think I would have figured that out on my own!

hey y'all, can anybody tell me what I'll need in order to play a PS2 on a computer monitor? I've got a nice flat screen monitor and, believe it or not, no TV...

hey hey y'all, progress

I cd to the correct directory, count the number of files, and write this out to a file:

dir "*.net" |find "File(s)" > C:\test\LicCount.txt

this writes out in the format '1 File(s) 0 bytes'

then I parse out the number, and write out date, time, number:

not sure about that. good suggestion though, I'll look into that tomorrow.

Thanks Norm,

I'm aware of the ability to concatenate multiple variables onto a single line of output.

What I can't figure out how to do is to set a variable to anything other than a literal string, or an evaluated mathematical expression.

Again, I want to set a variable equal to the number of ...

Norm know all about this stuff. Hang in there. He'll be around in a bit.

that's funny, I haven't looked at this forum in probably two years. today I spent an hour or so searching through dos documentation and thinking "who the heck knows about this stuff... I remember there was this guy Norm on ...

hello,

I'm trying to set up a batch file which will monitor the number of files in particular directory. I'd like to run this on a scheduled basis, then write the time, date, and number of files into a log file.

This much I have working, with one issue, which is that I can't figure out how to ...

grundy

sigh...

never mind, I was using the wrong option.

I've got a quick EAC question. I'm setting up EAC (with LAME), which I haven't done in a long time, and the one thing that I can't figure out is how to configure it to name my files the way that I want it to.

in EAC/Compression options/ ID3 Tag I've selected "Additionnally write ID3 V2 tags, using ...

cool. thanks.

Hey there,

I just went to download the DivX codec and saw that the free version is no listed as "add-supported" - anybody know if there is there a free, non add supported divx codec available?

thx

grundy

thanks for the replies.

so I don't need a remote to watch dvds? can the ps2 play dvds right out of the box?

looks like I might want more memory - thanks for the info!

grundy

well, our DVD player stopped working, and much to my surprise, my soon-to-be wife said "well, we might as well just get a Playstation - they play DVDs, right?"

So, I'm off to get a playstation. What do I need to play DVDs? Do I just need the remote, or do I need anything else?

What else am I going ...

grundy

Here's my situation: I'm thinking of moving to a new area. My wife tellecommutes full time, so we need to have high speed internet access. The service providers that I've called (been on the phone, mostly on hold, for over two hours this morning) want a phone number - which I don't have.

How can I ...

grundy

Thanks Norm, that's exactly right. sorry for the confusing reply, I'm working on something else and didn't think that one through.

I'm working with a database-specific job scheduling engine that we produce. One of the tool has what we call a "visual job editor" which allows the user to represent ...

I'm running WinXP, and need to ping some of the local services on my computer - specifically, SQL Server. Is there a ping command that allows me to ping services that are running locally? Can this be done for any service that appears in the "Services" mmc?

thanks!

Hey all,

I can't seem to figure this one out. I need to run Oracle, MS SQL Server, Sybase, and occasionaly DB2 on my work laptop. I like to keep these services on manual start for performance reasons, and only start them when needed. I like to do this either through the command line, or through a ...

thanks MW, the pics would be a help.

grundy

thanks MW, I'm hoping not to take the panel out. I took a close look at the window seal, and I think it is the culprit. I'll try to test and see, but hopefully that's it and there will be no need to take out the panel.

two questions:

can you point me at a good how-to for replacing window seals ...

grundy

looks like a major PITA to remove that panel - it goes from the corner of the trunk area all the way up to the door.

I'm thinking that the leak must be coming from the window seal - I just took a look at the seal and it looks suspect. I'll try running a hose on it later - right now I'm in xmas ...

I did replace the gaskets, which didn't solve the problem. The combination of new gaskets plus drainholes seems to have cured THAT problem, now I think I have a new one.

I dusted the inside of the trunk area with flour, and left the car out in the rain. Looks like water is coming in from the ...

Humboldt: I missed most of the storm - safe in MX with my girlfriend :) We flew into SF Sunday night, during the storm - scariest airplane ride of my life!

grundy

yeah, I suppose so. what I can't figure out is that, when I have tried water testing it before, I haven't found ANY evidence of water intrusion. That made sense with the light assembly problem - water entered slowly and it took a while to build up to the point where it leaked into the car. I think ...

grundy

thanks MD, I've tried water testing and haven't found the source of the leak... it's driving me nuts!

grundy

I have a 1991 Honda Civic Hatchback - running strong with 185,000 on it. The problem is that I get water leaking into the trunk area when it rains - which it does quite a lot here in NorCal.

Last year I thought that I had the problem solved. The rain gutters drain onto the tops of the taillight ...

grundy

thanks downhill, looks like the problem might be solved.

setting 'additional command line options' back to "%l--alt-preset 192%l%h--alt-preset standard%h %s %d"

seems to be working.

grundy

I need to reboot right now and try again, I just updated LAME. I never have gotten this to work though, I have no idea why. And I have the current version of EAC so that shouldn't be it. It is quite confusing to me.

grundy

Hi Silver. how ya doin?

thanks Noevo, I'll try that now.

[edit] nope. still wav.

grundy

I've got EAC and LAME. When I go to rip a cd, I end up with .wav files, not .mp3. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.
