Re: Tk geometry function call

$Main->geometry(?\+300,\+300?);
[download]

The question marks are like / marks except that the pattern only matches once until you call reset;

You will have to quote them or escape them to make it happy.

I tried this: `$Main->geometry(\?\+300,\+300\?);` [download] However, this is what's returned to me: `search pattern not terminated at GUI.pl line 18` [download] And when I put it in double quotes like this: `$Main->geometry("?+300,+300?");` [download] I get this error: `bad geometry specifier "?+300,+300?" at C:/Perl/site/lib/Tk/Submethod. +pm line 37` [download] TStanley -------- There's an infinite number of monkeys outside who want to talk to us about this script for Hamlet they've worked out -- Douglas Adams/Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy	[reply] [d/l] [select]

What are all these question marks? This is not the format for a geometry in Tk. They usually look something like these: `$widget->geometry('640x480'); # Big as a VGA Screen $widget->geometry('+100+200'); # Slightly down to the right $widget->geometry('600x800+50+50'); # Big, out of corner` [download] And other variations. "perldoc Tk::Wm" for more details and options.	[reply] [d/l]
