''''I have a control array with 4 elements ("text1(0).text,,text1(1).text,,,etc)
'''and i save the data in the textboxes to file,,,2 DIMENSIONAL

File[4, VariableOfRecords]

''''when Variableofrecords is changed every time a new record is inputted(goes up by 1)
'''also recordNum is the actual number of record see below

''''if i inputted first 1,1,1,1 then inputted 2,2,2,2 then 3,3,3,3 it would look like this
''' in a data file:

1 ''recordnum = 1
2 ''recordnum = 2
3 ''recordnum = 3
1 ''recordnum = 1
2 '' " " = 2
3 ''...etc
1
2
3
1
2
3

''''if i wanted to delete a record 2 containing all 2's
'''i would need to clear the data(in the recordnum), sort it to the end of the file so the
'''recordnum is equal to the variableOfRecords and reduce the variablesofrecords by 1

BUT when i try and do this it screws the data up.

I KNOW ITS EASILY BUT PLEASE HELP ME.
