Is there any way of drawing something like this automatically?
If yes please tell me, thanks

As fas as I know, there are plenty of online ascii art generators. Here's one that I've used a few times:

You would copy it from the browser and paste it in the comment in the code.

Regex help for somebody that realy need help - Visual basic

I'm actually starting creating a small language (in vb net, yes I know, maybe not a good idea).
I already started learning tutorials about regex, but apparently this function is saying me to get out).
I want to add some kind of commands, such as a command that allow you to arg. a /print command, something like:
/PRINT["Hello world";"blue";propety:{bold;italic}]
So, for me, the regex is :
"{{^\^{\|^#\^~\{}~\^]|\~^[}^\}^#~\[}~^\}^##{\~{^}^#\#~#}\^#}^]|\|}]#\|{"
So you understand that's not something I like writing.
Would you show me how to construct regex code for the first command I let?
Regex alone isn't the best way to create a language that, well, actually works.
Read this article for more info. I'm sure you can find better way to write a language if you really need to write it. In vb.net...
Anyway, if you insist on writing it in vb, I found a video that will help you with it.

Method setTextColor:range: on NSTextView is ridiculously slow

I'm creating a simple editor in Mac OS X and I've come to the point where my editor needs to do some highlighting of code, for example, comments.
I am using Regex to find all comments, which I initially thought, was slow. Turns out, it does rather amazing job. For example, for 387 comments, regex needs "only" 0.008404 s to find them and returns array of NSRanges.
But here comes disaster. When I try to set different color to my text with method setTextColor:range: it completes very slow. It needs additional 9.872964 s (for those 387 comments I mentioned before) and it gets worse really fast when number of comments is increased.
So... Is there any way to do this faster? With NSAttributedStrings, perhaps?
I'm really sorry guys, but stackoverflow gave me suggestion on similar question (which I didn't found when I was searching).
It turns out you simply have to tell NSTextViews TextStorage that you will begin doing some editing. And when you finish, you commit those changes. Code looks like:
[textView.textStorage beginEditing];
// do some stuff here
[textview.textStorage endEditing];
Now I ran code with 456 comments, Regex needed 0.013887 s and coloring 0.215761 s, which is amazing drop!
Anyway, I hope someone will find that useful.

C.VIM not working

I have a simple question (that I don't seem to be able to answer),
I am a new VIM/Linux user, and since I do c++ development I decided to install the C.VIM plugin to speed up my development time. The problem is, it says in the plug-in (c++) menu that to do a switch statement I have to write \ss (for me the leader is ",", so it's ",ss") but when I do this it just puts me in insert mode and nothing happens. I know the plugin is well set up because when I open a new c++ file it generates a comment box where I can give the description of the program.
I would love it if I would be able to use the shortcuts, because using the menu just losses the point of using vim.
Oh and please, just keep in mind that I am new to vim, I still have hard time figuring out what means <c-r> + TAB (which is, if i'm not mistaking "ctrl-r <tab>"), so if you could just try to explain the solution clearly without to much jargon I would appreciate it. (while i'm here, does anyone know of a good vim tutorial where I could understands all of the vim jargon, thanks!)
I appreciate all the help.
I use this cheat sheet:

Please add the below line to .vimrc and
helptags ~/.vim/bundle/c.vim/doc
Note: I have pointed to my c.vim doc and I use bundle, it may differ for you :)

putting a pdf online within a viewer that has flip/page turn effect and works on iPad

I was wanting to do something like this for a PDF
http://www.ixian.co.nz/mainzeal/mainsite/Dec2010.html
But that service appears to be a paid for solution. I was wondering if there is anything out there open source that can do the same thing? I.e I give it a PDF and it can turn it into a browsable book, like the above, complete with page flip effect
Take a look at FlexPaper Zine
http://flexpaper.devaldi.com/flexpaper_flip_zine.jsp
Well, didn't find much aside from scribd.com which is obviously not the same thing.

Vim OmniCppComplete on vectors of pointers

I might have done something wrong in the set up but is OmniCppComplete supposed to provide the members/functions of classes when doing this?
vectorofpointers[0]->
At the moment all I get when trying that are things relating to the vector class itself, which obviously isn't very useful. I think it might have been working before I tagged /usr/include/ but I could be wrong.
Also, is it possible to disable the preview window? I find it just clutters up my workspace. And since I enabled ShowPrototypeInAbbr I don't really need it.
Thanks,
Alex
I do not think it is possible to get proper code completion on the objects that are included in the vector, but someone please correct me if I am mistaken.
To disable the preview window, make sure to not set preview for the the completeopt option, type :help completeopt in Vim for more information.
We finally have sane code completion for C++ in Vim using GCCSense. With GCCSense it is possible to autocomplete on the contents of a vector.
