Even if a command already existed to do this, you can't even write "code" in three characters.

Well, if you had a language that had sub-byte commands, like SysRPL, you could implement something that would, at the very least, loop a bit.

Okay, I think I know how. Here's my guess.

Your file consists of "a();" and you compile it with gcc cheat.c -o cheat -D'a()=insert whole code here'.

Remember the day the walrus started to fly...

I finally cleared my sig after 4 years you're happy now?

Correct! Almost!

This is what it looks like:
Code: (test-noincl-crazy.c) [Select]
a
b

Code: (Makefile.crazy) [Select]
all:
        gcc test-noincl-crazy.c \
           -include "stdio.h" \
           -D'f=for(i=0;i<4;i++){' \
           -D'a=char s[255],*p,r[4],i=0,x=0,c[]="code";' \
           -D'b=void main(){fgets(s,255,stdin);f p=strchr(s+x,c[i]);if(!p){printf("0\n");return;}x=p-s;r[i]=x+1;}f printf("%i\n",r[i]);}}' \
           -o test

To build: Place the two files in the same directory, and run make -f Makefile.crazy. Requires GCC and make.

Again, this was NOT a valid entry, and was just submitted for fun and games! :)
But if there's any lesson from this, it's that C macros are very, very powerful! :D

[11:31:08 PM]   JWinslow23   Yes...1984.
[11:34:35 PM]   JWinslow23   Welp, got a TI-BASIC solution to 177 bytes.

O.O


EDIT: Wait nvm the first part was about another thing on IRC. I just saw your post now. I thought you went from a 1984 bytes solution to 177 lol XD

Sorry for the necro.

Improving slightly (50->47) on JWinslow23's excellent TI-BASIC answer:

Input Str1
1
For(X,1,4
inString(Str1,sub("CODE",X,1),Ans
If not(Ans
ClrHome
Disp Ans
If Ans
End
