in reply to HELP!!!! VB code to PERL?

I need to open, save and close 1200 very short files.

What do you need to save in them?

Also, you should write your code out in pseudo-code because many people here won't know VB.

Cheers.

    There actually are a lot of people here who use VB and VB-alikes. Personally I spend most of my paid working time in a language called LotusScript. While not exactly Visual Basic it's very, very close.

      I didn't say there weren't a lot of people here who use VB, I said "many people here won't know VB." :)

      At any rate, one posting to a Perl forum should not assume its inhabitants know languages other than Perl (even if it's a moderately safe assumption). This limits the number of people who will even bother looking at the node. Why not take an extra 5 seconds to convert it to pseudo-code? You'll get better replies.

      As for your LotusScript situation, I'm sorry to hear that and hope you and your employer have a speedy recovery ;-)

        Huh. And I think that VB-like code already looks very much like pseudo-code. Anyhow the LotusScript situation is even worse - the other supported languages are Java, C and C++. Feh. Anyhow, I'm terribly disappointed in what I'm perceiving to be language bigotry elsewhere in this response tree. The root node really shouldn't have been downvoted.
