I have a project write a program to send bunch of data into credit card terminal in Visual Basic 6.
Terminal specs
The problem I facing now is on field LLLL which is the length of the message data. Let's say the length is 35, how I gonna write it in char?
I tried to use Chr$(&H0) & Chr$(&H35), but its always return empty to me.
Please help.
Thanks

I am using the botbuilder DialogTestClient 's sendActivity method to send prompts to my bot while testing but the method only accepts string types and in my bot i use number promts to prompt the user for numbers . Do you have any idea on how i can overturn this problem ?
Thanks in advance
I'm a bit unclear if you are having this issue only for DialogTestClient or all Clients, but in nodejs you can just convert the string to number using Number(promptInput). If the promptInput is already a number, it will still work fine. I assume there is a similar function in C#.
Edit: Some additional context. You can take a look at userProfileDialog.js in multi-turn-prompt sample for an example. Essentially, NumberPrompt has a "succeeded" property in the recognizer that ensures you entered a number. You can use that plus whatever validations you want in the validator function. If it succeeds and is validated, a number, not a string, is passed to the next step in your dialog.
If the error is coming when you are trying to repeat back the prompt value to the user, you need to convert it to a string. I favor using the backtick for this (template string/literal), e.g.
await step.context.sendActivity(`You entered ${step.result}`);
where step.result is the numberPrompt result.
I'm trying to create a flow using Power Automate (which I'm quite new to) that can get the link/URL in an email I receive daily, then download the .csv file that normally a click to the link would do, and then save the file to a given local folder.
An example of the email I get:
Screenshot of the email I get daily
I searched in Power Automate Community and found this insightful LINK post & answer almost solved it. However, after following the steps and built the flow, it kept failing at the Compose step.

Error message
Expression used:
substring(body('Html_to_text'),add(indexOf(body('Html_to_text'),'here'),5),sub(indexOf(body('Html_to_text'),'Name'),5))
Seems the expression couldn't really get the URL/Link? I'm not sure and searched but couldn't find any more posts that can help.
Please kindly share all insights on approaches or workarounds that you think may help me solve the problem and truly thanks!

We need to breakdown the bits of the function here which needs 3 bits of info
substring(1 text to search, 2 starting position of the text you want, 3 length of text)
For example, if you were trying to return an unknown number from the text dog 4567 bird
Our function would have 3 parts.
body('Html_to_text'), this bit gets the text we are searching for
add(indexOf(body('Html_to_text'),'dog'),4), this bit finds the position in the text 4 characters after the start of the word dog (3 letters for dog + the space)
sub(sub(indexOf(body('Html_to_text'),'bird'),2)),add(indexOf(body('Html_to_text'),'dog'),4)), I've changed the structure of your code here because this part needs to return the length of the URL, not the ending position. So here, we take the position of the end of the URL (position of the word bird minus two spaces) and subtract it from the position of the start of the URL (position of the word dog + 4 spaces) to get the length.
In your HTML to text output, you need to check what the HTML looks like, and search for a word before the URL starts, and a word after the URL starts, and count the exact amount of spaces to reach the URL. You can then put those words and counts into your code.
More generally, when you have a complicated problem that you need to troubleshoot, you can break it down into steps. For example. Rather than putting that big mess of code into a single block, you can make each chunk of the code in its own compose, and then one final compose to bring them all together - that way when you run it you can see what information each bit is giving out, or where it is failing, and experiment from there to discover what is wrong.
We're building a system to validate mobile phone numbers.
To achieve this, when a user adds his number, we are sending him a text message with a 6 digit code.
We don't want this code to go in our database as we don't like to clutter our database with fields that have no business meaning.
So we came up with the idea to reuse pragmarx/google2falibrary, have it generate an OTP code, dispatch it to the user by a text message, and then the circle would be round.
So basically we wanted to use the phone number, prefixed by somehting secret as the "secret" for the pragmarx/google2fa library:
$secret = '1263' . $mobile->country_code . $mobile->subscriber;
$google2fa = new Google2FA();
$google2fa->setEnforceGoogleAuthenticatorCompatibility(false);
$google2fa->getCurrentOtp($secret);
The above results in a secretsimilar to 12633232970987. However, the call to getCurrentOtp throws an exception Invalid characters in the base32 string. which is obviously not what I was hoping for.
So, I tried adding
$secret = base_convert($secret, 10, 32)
and pass that to the getCurrentOtpmethod, but that returned the same error. Checking into the library code, I see the following constant:
const VALID_FOR_B32 = 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ234567';
My base_convert returns a string that has other characters in there though. Are these really the only valid characters?
My alternative would be to just have the library generate a random secret, but we don't really want to do that, as that would require us to keep that secret somewhere in the database (or at least in cache), which we would like to avoid. The idea is that we could generate the code for a mobile number using the number as the secret, and let the OTP mechanism deal with expiring codes.
Anyone has any suggestion how I can resolve this?
I have inserted a script to make a Journal Quest written by Modern Algebra. It works perfectly but when I tried to input an Item ID, 128, I get an error telling me that the number is an octal. I tried converting the number into a string "128" but the program crashes. This is part of the code:
q[:name] = "Fish for the Inn"
q[:icon_index] = 028
I'm very new to Ruby.
Can you please tell me how to solve this problem?
Thanks!
I am working in visual basic 6.0 and attempting to retreive the server of a Queue. So far the only way I have found to get this is from the path name (oQueue.QueueInfo.PathName) (which gives me: vdi***\testQueue02)
I would like to trim this down to just vdi***\
But I can not do it by number of characters because I have hundreds of queues all with different lenghts and also the servers may have different lenghts.
Is there any way to do this??
Thanks,
Is it always the "first part" of the path name you are trying to retrieve?
`Dim newArray() as String = Split(oQueue.QueueInfo.PathName,"\")
Dim path = newArray(0) & "\"`
