Retrieving data from txt file.
Thanks for all the suggestion. I got it sorted out. Now I wish to do something like "SELECT * FROM NAME-FILE WHERE DEALER-NAME LIKE USER-INPUT". If user would input "JA" it will display out all the name starting with "JA", is that possible?Any guidance would be appreciated thanks~- lucashii

Retrieving data from txt file.
Hi this is my first time here. I trying to write a program that will search throught the txt file for a name specified by the user. Say if user enter "Lucas", the program would then display all the name of "Lucas". Currently I am using SEARCH which only retrieve a single "Lucas" name value...- lucashii
