Greetings all.
\nThis is my latest C++ project… made it purely for learning purposes, but it is kinda cool, I guess.<\/p>\n
It is a windows port of Unix program Fortune<\/a>. Now be careful limiting number of chars with -n switch. If you give too few or too many, then the program will be stuck in an infinite loop. This is not<\/b> a bug in the code. Code: EvilFortune.cpp<\/a> Greetings all.

\nThe original implementation used files. My version uses SQLite with all the original quotes and fortunes, plus most posts from Evilzone irc quote thread :P

\nThe usage is simple, just run the program to get a random entry. Output can be controlled with program args:<\/p>\nEvilFortune.exe [-h] [-l [-n]] [-s [-n]] [-w]\r\n -h -- Print this help screen\r\n -l -- Use only quotations longer than the length specified with -n,\r\n or 160 characters if -n is not used\r\n -s -- Use only quotations shorter than the length specified with -n,\r\n or 160 characters if -n is not used\r\n -n -- Override the length used by -l and -s to determine\r\n \"long\" and \"short\" messages (default 160 characters)\r\n -w -- Wait for a user input before terminating<\/pre>\n
\nBest to just leave -n switch out.<\/p>\n
