Search facility

[eclair]

can anyone help me with an example of a search facility
which allows the user to enter a name in a text box,
then press a command button,
and details related to that name (which will be stored in an array & text file) will be returned.


Please help!!

what kind of a file is it? does it have text or binary data (ie, did you write it with an object output stream or data output steam)

if it's an object output stream then read in the object and compare names...if it's data then read in line by line and get just the name from the line and compare that.

if it matches in either case display your info..
