I found the following article : here about installing fonts on a Windows computer via a script. The author uses VBScript to do that, but I'd like to use Ruby/Python. There is a line in the script I don't understand :
Const FONTS = &H14&
What is that &H14&? Is it a number? How would I represent that in another language?
It's a number in hexadecimal. &H14& can be written in some programming languages as 0x14.
The value is used to represent the special folder "Fonts" .. more info
The &H prefix is used to write a number in hexadecimal. The hexadecimal number 14 is the decimal number 20.
The & suffix means that the number is of the type Long (32 bit integer).
So, &H14& is a numeric literal of the type Long with the value 20.
