Hey all
sorry if the posts twice the first time gave me an error. basically
i just need to know how to move to next line of a text file if the
first word does not match the word searched for.
using borland builder this what i have so far. ive checked loads of
tutorials on th net just cant seem to find what i need . or is there
a better way to do this altogether?
cheers
