lol i apologize to everyone, i was not bitching/complaing at all about a slow response. I was pointing out that i have never seen that before... so again i apologize.


As for my code, im schocked i didn't attempt this before.

this is code code using that function
[php]
if(!PipeValidation(s_mJobNumber)) return false;
if(!PipeValidation(s_mJobName)) return false;
if(!PipeValidation(s_mDataFile)) return false;
if(!PipeValidation(s_mImageRef)) return false;
if(!PipeValidation(s_mProgrammer)) return false;
if(!PipeValidation(s_mComments)) return false;
if(!PipeValidation(s_mSamples)) return false;
if(!PipeValidation(s_mDIF)) return false;
if(!PipeValidation(s_mSampleQty)) return false;
if(!PipeValidation(s_mPaperStock)) return false;
if(!PipeValidation(s_mStockSize)) return false;
[/php]

when it passed s_mComments... its value was null

thank you everyone for your time.

Uh, that piece of code doesn't help either. Just debug the system, seeing s_mComments on your variable watch list and observe what happens.

i was just showing you were i caught my error! At the moment i was passing a null value of a variale called s_mComments to the PipeValidation routine.

Ah, so it wasn't really "BSSSSSS".

Kilo

lmao.... well at that moment in my mind, yes it was. But calming down, reading it over and over again... then deciding to "step through" the program with watches... pretty simple in the end and no not "BSSSSSSS"

personally no i wasn't... we have 3 people (including myself) working on this project. My big problem was i was to stupid to investigate the problem instead of got tired of the error and posted.

IndexOf... so that how that works? that simple huh... i love C# on one hand but then again i don't like things so easy.... grrr

ok yea...

if(s_mJobNumber.IndexOf('|') == -1) return false;

that didn't work at all! i replaced them.. then tested... didn't work

Yeah my mistake though easily tested. One quick look should have told you.
This should be it:

Which can be tested like:
[php]using System;

class MainClass
{
private static bool PipeValidation(string pipeVal)
{
for(int i=0; i<pipeVal.Length; i++)
{
if(pipeVal[i] == '|')
{
return false;
}
}
return true;
}

public static int Main(string[] args)
{
string s_mProgrammer = "kilo_noob";
string s_mComments = "lol|pup";

// PipeValidation comments
if(!PipeValidation(s_mComments))
System.Console.WriteLine("PipeValidation s_mComments false");
else
System.Console.WriteLine("PipeValidation s_mComments true");

// PipeValidation programmer
if(!PipeValidation(s_mProgrammer))
System.Console.WriteLine("PipeValidation s_mProgrammer false");
else
System.Console.WriteLine("PipeValidation s_mComments true");

// IndexOf comments
if(s_mComments.IndexOf('|') != -1)
System.Console.WriteLine("IndexOf s_mComments false");
else
System.Console.WriteLine("IndexOf s_mComments true");

// IndexOf programmer
if(s_mProgrammer.IndexOf('|') != -1)
System.Console.WriteLine("IndexOf s_mProgrammer false");
else
System.Console.WriteLine("IndexOf s_mProgrammer true");

return 0;
}
}[/php]
