Sometime I hate programming. Take the following case in point – it has probably taken me half an hour to work out how to determine what the command line is for a program I am writing. In VB this used to be COMMAND. Now it is Environment.Command. Only now that I have found this I have found a another problem. It is rather difficult to split the line into strings because windows allows spaces in the file names, so inverted commas are used. But not always. <\/p>\n

So now I need to write a parsing library, or find a free one to split the paramaters. As soon as I work out one level of things, a new level apears. I have just spent probably the last 25 minutes writing a program to split the command line paramaters. Now at least I have it for the future too. And the program is now debugged. That only took another 15 minutes. Unfortunately I cannot charge the client for that one either – This is in a fixed price quote. Still, there is enough meat in the quote to pay for things like this. <\/p>\n

I didn’t get around to getting a new HDD today. They didn’t have any at the local shops so I decided I would get one online. And I have not had a chance to order one yet. Maybe sometime this evening or tomorrow I will get a chance to order one. Then I need to plan moving all the software across. There is so much software on this PC that I certainly do not need any more… Too… <\/p>\n
