Re: [Pharo-users] FFI to UFFI

Now, about translation to UFFI, is not so simple, but not so complex (it just needs some work). 1) you need to declare the types like SQLRETURN, usually in a shared pool, something like: SQLRETURN := #uint. That you later will include in your ODBC classes. 2) you need to translate structures

Re: [Pharo-users] FFI to UFFI

One final consideration: Truth is, once you load it in P7, the package should work (at least in 32 bits, I do not think is made thinking on 64bits platforms). Both notations ends calling same primitives. This means, if your intentions are just to play a bit and see how things work: you should

Re: [Pharo-users] ZnURL and parsing URL with diacritics

Sean, Sven Thinking about this, I have found a simple (maybe too simple) way round it. The obvious first approach is to apply 'urlEncoded' to the received url string, but this fails because it also encodes the slashes and other segment dividers. A simple-minded approach is to scan the received

Re: [Pharo-users] ZnURL and parsing URL with diacritics

Well it didn't take long to find a potential problem in what I wrote, at least as a general solution. If the input string contains something which has already been percent encoded, it will re-encode the percent signs. In this case, decoding will recover the once-encoded version, but we need to d

[Pharo-users] how to get out of this mess

Hello, I tried another way to solve this but the code is a mess now. I can update a record but the record is not updated. And I have to do a lot of the same steps for every team. Anyone who can help me to get out of this mess. Code so far:  https://github.com/RoelofWobben/tournament Roelof

Re: [Pharo-users] How cn I improve this code

Four blindingly obvious remarks. (1) Where are the comments? What problem is this actually solving? Where is the specification? Oh, it's at the *end*, not actually in the Team class. (2) name: anObject name := anObject and way too many methods like it. (a) Saying "anObject"

Re: [Pharo-users] how to get out of this mess

This is a simple programming-contest sort of exercise. You "need" only two classes. + a Team - knows its name (a String of at most 30 characters) * This should be passed when the Team is created; the rest of the program should NOT call (Team new) and should NEVER see an un#initial

Thanks all @Richard  I did tried that way in the solution I put on the net. But I get stuck at the point that if I update a record in the Team Class the collection at the Tournament class was not updated. But right now , I try a new w

Re: [Pharo-users] how to get out of this mess

In OOP, you should not be thinking in terms of "updating a record". You should *ask* an object to update *itself*. [aStream atEnd] whileFalse: [ |fields team1 team2 outcome| fields := aStream nextLine subStrings: ';'. team1 := self teamNamed: (fields at: 1). t
