Hey Pyro, I’m gonna give you an early Xmas present!

With “Pyro’s Pyrotechnics” (as I’ve named it) you can extract any header from any file format in like a few minutes!

Thank you Tserio man The only thing missing from your program is my button though.
Reh, I am wondering have you sold >=1?

Hey, I’m fast but not that fast! This morning I squeezed in 3 hours on this and also visited the doctor! I’ll probably need another 2-3 hours to refine it and add some more power to it… tomorrow because I’m getting sleepish.

Err, what does/should your button do?

[Maximus]

I would suggest that you learn DOS 2.0

If your not keen on that, learn one of the languages so you can develop apps for smart phones.

It depends on what you want to do with it. Here is some general information for you to consider.

Quartz's Max Nisen pulled out some figures on the most valuable programming languages based on a larger study from the Brookings Institution that was published in July.
Based on that data, here are programming languages listed next to their average annual salary from lowest to highest:

12. PERL - $82,513
11. SQL - $85,511
10. Visual Basic - $85,962
9. C# - $89,074
8. R- $90,055
7. C - 90,134
6. JavaScript - $91,461
5. C++ - $93,502
4. JAVA - $94,908
3. Python - $100,717
2. Objective C - $108,225
1. Ruby on Rails - $109,460

Sotos, without Node.js or similar platform (come to think of it I don’t know of any other substitute) you simply *can't* do true independent web apps because browsers won’t let you access the user’s hard disk and resources so your online pseudo-apps will be no different to limited stupid websites.

Node.js is like all the missing Javascript functions you always wanted but were forbidden to have in the name of “security”…it’s like all your Xmases come true!

Get into it Sotos… you’ll love it!

GR, ALL web-apps run in the browser by definition Web-apps don't need to access the users hard disk. Why would Gmail or Google Maps need access to your hard disk? The code that runs a web-app can be as complicated as any other program and even more so, not just with javascript but it could also have a back-end (on the server) which could run any number of server side languages, database systems etc (or even node.js). Google.com is a website/web-app that is used by billions and makes billions in profits and you just called it a "pseudo-app" and a " limited stupid website" because it can't have unrestricted access to a user's hard drive... which is a GOOD thing! I've been using node.js for years by the way But it seems to me that you learned about some new technologies but you haven't changed your way of thinking. You still think that a program should necessarily be packaged as an executable, downloaded by the user and installed on his computer. That is still useful in many cases and for many reasons but NOT for apps such as yours, which could just as easily run as a web-app in the browser.

For years? Well then you must be an expert in Node.js… no excuses, so here’s a simple challenge for you Sotos that should only take 5 minutes:

Write a simple function (no error-checking needed) that loads the contents of a (ASCII, ANSI, UTF8, Unicode) text file, into a string using this skeleton:

function LoadTextFile(Name){ }

And once loaded replaces the following characters…

All single quotes ’ to be replaced by the ASCII '

All L-double quotes “ to be replaced by the ASCII "

All R-double quotes ” to be replaced by the ASCII "

...and finally display the modified string with document.write('')

Here’s your little text file (Test.txt) (should be saved as Unicode) given here as a string in blue:

You don’t need Internet access to use this facility and you don’t need to upload anything to strangers because you can always use “Get” or “Set” to fix the problem, and best of all you get to retain your © copyright!

I am not an expert in Node but I certainly know more than you You even talk about document.write when the "document" is part of the HTML DOM, and therefore is relevant only when javascript is running within a browser (or something that simulates a browser) and not when you are writing just for node.js! (not to mention that even in the browser "document.write" stopped being popular more than a decade ago. There are better ways to add/modify content in the DOM) Other than that you would just require the File System Module (fs), get the file from the arguments list (process.argv[2]), fs.readFile, do some basic Javascript replace on the characters that you need and then you could write the result on another file or overwrite the existing one with fs.writeFile.

You don’t need Internet access to use this facility and you don’t need to upload anything to strangers because you can always use “Get” or “Set” to fix the problem, and best of all you get to retain your © copyright!

When you upload something to a web-app then AT MOST somebody could steal what you uploaded. On the other hand when you install some program on your computer that program could potentially steal just about ANYTHING from your computer and/or do damage to your data

I simply suggested to use document.write() to quickly display the result to the screen for observation!

Admit it Soto… you don’t know Node.js man, you’re just full of shit!

TOTAL FAIL!

You’re so stupid you even replied to this meaningless junk text that I created so as to include the special characters you were meant to look for!

Man, this is the biggest FAIL in the history of mankind!

The way I understand this is that the browser is just an I/O for the application, and the application itself should run from a computer. It could be the user's computer running the application offline, it could be a server running the application in the background and outputting results to the user.
Is that so?
If yes could you provide an application written with Node.js so that we see if it works offline?

You should reconsider asking Sotos anything about programming...

Node.js runs on top of the V8 Javascript engine and as such they cannot be separated!

It’s a script language and the only way to “compile” it is the method I use.

[Pyrpolizer]

I guess the original question should have been:
What programming language/s do YOU use? What can YOU do with it? What are the capabilities of this language? How would you grade yourself beginner, intermediate, advanced.

So let's start all over again Sotos, GR, et al.
