Actually, I had tried following the thread and it it looked like the code you used from J W Krahn had that information in arrays and not strings. That is actually why I set it up that way. However, if the data is in a string form, the code may be a bit clearer as what is being done is building up strings!
Because we have been presented with fragments of the complete problem there has been no basis to criticize the overall design. You said yourself On 04/04/2011 03:18, Chris <char...@pulsenet.com> wrote:
It is good to build up a program in small steps and test as you go, but it is also helpful to have a large view of the problem so that you won't create data structures that work for the first stages of the program but fail to accomodate later alterations. You really kinda need to have the big picture at the start.
And I am certain that we have a much less than optimum solution to the complete problem. I wonder if Wernher would consider presenting the initial requirement here, without reference to implementation specifics, so that we can see where these pieces of the puzzle fit into the complete picture.
