Re: Witango-Talk: Creating an index

[Alan Wolfe]

I'm not sure if it's the most efficient way to do it but here's what i do (in pseudocode)

 

set local$header to "" (blank)

 

loop through the table and for each row:

{

 

  if column 1 is diferent than local$header

  {

    write out the header

    set local$header to column 1

  }

 

  write out column #2, indented

}

 

hope that helps!

Sorry if this seems so elementary...

 

I have a table that lists categories and subjects - ie...

 

category1    subject1

category1    subject2   

category1    subject3

category2    subject4

category2    subject5   

category2    subject6

category3    subject7

category3    subject8   

category3    subject9

 

How do I display...

 

category1   

    subject1

    subject2   

    subject3

 

category2   

    subject4

    subject5   

    subject6

 

category3   

    subject7

    subject8   

    subject9
