Ali, I appreciate the praise but I think James used a
acceptable approach in his reply.
If you go back to 6/16 when you asked about "how to sort
certain pattern from a file", James answered your question
and explained very patiently that you needed to add strict
and warnings and that you needed to verify I/O operations.
Some beginners don't take our advice. It is now up to
us to try some other methods to drive home those points.
Learning is not always easy and teaching sometimes
involves sticks as well as carrots.
James realized that you didn't follow his advice from
the earlier post and was trying a different method to help
you. I value James' advice and I hope you will also in the
future. Be thankful that someone is willing to go out on
that limb to help you. Very few people will.
HTH,
Charles K. Clarkson
