And let's not forget Stage 0:

Stage 0. VB Programmer

Is amazed at the power of VB's InStr function.
Likes to show of his VB "guru" (ack, phht!) status by slipping InStrRev in his programs.
Is aware the VB's StrComp can be made case-insensitive, but doesn't understand why this is important.

(Ovid hopes that no one realizes that he also likes programming in VB.)

Cheers,
Ovid

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
