Thanks, Martin. It's really a nice idea, but I'm afraid that would far beyond my ability.
Another consideration is about "relational database". The entries in the database are come from book editors, I should honor that "relation". When an entry is found, there will be an information showing which book is it come from. If I sort the entries alphabetically, I would lost the relation between entry and book. Or I have to keep both kinds of files, one are books with entries inside, one are entries alphabetically sorted, and do some kind of sql to connect the relation. That is even more beyond my ability. : ( Anyway, thank for your good idea and all the help long long time since. ( The first-app.-talk is just a gossip, please don't take it seriously. :) Cheers, linly On Mar 2, 2:35 am, Martin <[email protected]> wrote: > This looks interesting. > > Did you think about sorting your entries alphabetically?
