Subject: DESPERATE: Indexed files in QBasic ??
 
Hi,
I have written a few progs with Qbasic.
Some of them need to lookup data and find an equivalence:
say , in a table with two fields Refno and Title,
lookup the Refno "12345" and retrieve Title  "War and Peace".
 
I do this using DATA and READ to build a DIM table then
run along down the DIM table till I find the Refno an dthen grab the Title.
 
This may be a slow way of doing things but I can find any other way.
So ...
Q1. Is there no way to have an Indexed file in Qbasic ?
Q2. Is there any other Basic that woul do the job OK without me having to
re-write my progs?
 
Thanks.
Pls reply by e-mail.
