AskWoody LoungerMarch 9, 2013 at 11:29 pm in reply to: google talk and UAC related simple problem if you know about them #1379498i read on the Web the other day that window’s UAC, user account control, may be blocking it, which solved it for someone else
but tried it with the UAC at the lowest setting and nothing
highest setting and the UAC doesn’t give any popup or notification that google talk is doing anything evil, and nothing from the comodo firewall either
maybe a window service needs to be on? or i should change something else?

AskWoody LoungerNovember 30, 2012 at 5:52 pm in reply to: have code snippet to convert all urls into active hyperlinks? couldnt find #1360391………………….the excerpts you quoted is exactly what i had…… so thereby the context is actually enhanced by them being in your post. maybe im just too sensitive so nevermind………….
#2 ‘^p’ without the period was perfect though wasnt a good idea with the links…………………… (helpful on a separate .docx though)
#3 wasn’t helpful and a really bad metaphor. the question is answerable, and is only asking for your most educated guess. i dont think i’ll come back and ask for help because of that………

to also replace https:// can you just add Text = “https://[! ]{1,}”so it looks like this?
.Text = “http://[! ]{1,}”
.Text = “https://[! ]{1,}”
.Replacement.Text = “”2)
for the ending periods, all docs won’t have abbreviations ending in periods, and for the rare instances if they do, then it’s ok
i am guessing from looking at the code you would have something like…….
.Text = “.”
.Replacement.Text = [enter]”obviously i don’t know what im doing.. since im learning python — edx.org udacity.com coursera.org — i may recreate the codes with python — ironpython.net — though i’ll likely be asking for help
3)
how long would you estimate an average person would take to learn enough VB to create common macros (say 12 hours per day)? without having any prior programming knowledge, and assuming they had access to quality (quick) learning materials
