there is a thread that asks me to count from one to a million.
every one posts just one number, and i wonder why. they are just writing the next number up from the one posted before their post.
i decided to write a simple program that wrote every number from 1 to 1 million (with separating commas), and ctrl-copied the resulting text file and tried to post it in that thread, but of course the post was too large to be accepted by this site.
here is the simple program (in vfp)
--------------
fhand=fcreate("million.txt")
pl=''
for x = 1 to 1000000
pl=pl+allt(str(x))+','
if len(pl)>128
=fputs (fhand,pl)
pl=''
endi
next
close all

i opened the text file and got rid of the last comma.
the text file was in this format....
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43,44,45,

if i had been successful in posting that file, i would have received howls of disapproval i now realize.
it would have spanned many hundreds of pages.
thank goodness i was thwarted before i realized how it would be very wrong to post the file.
I wish you could have posted it. It would have been legendary. You would have been hailed as a God of WP.
