menu procedure should be likeprocedure menu(var option:integer);
{so this'll be where you put all txt to display,i'm saving myself a few lines here lol}
readln(choice);
end;
{top level begins...

well i distinctly remember seeing something as 'show real effort with ur assignments'.....Anyways wut you should do is to make a procedure for da menu and in it use a parameter that'll pass the...

ok scrap that jst use a char wiv it
here's a rough pseudocode
begin
counter variable:=1or0
char variable:='y'
while (counter logic) AND (char_variable<>n) do
begin
bla
bla
bla

use a boolean variable with that loop to give da user a choice to continue adding records or to quite..That should do da trick
ima try out this code myself lol

if this is ur exact code then there's a flaw,you don't have a loop with da size variable inside that procedure.so in other words it always writes to da 0 position of da array...

copy paste it and put it between ['code'] ['/code'] tags(without da quotes) ;)
makes stuff easier,ppl are jst too lazy or too busy to stop and download an attachment no matter how small it maybe :)

you know bro you'd probably gotten an answer if you'd jst put da code with ur post....anyways ur problem should be a simple logical error within the procedure that you made to add items to the record...

use enter key when you're typing that code will ya :P:)

i'm still cutting my teeth on pascal so i guess delphi wud be the logical path for me to turn to in the future?

went through my book but it only has a single page on binary searching and that too in pseudocode !
wdh ima fight my headache and type that code in lol..use enter once in a while will ya :P

bdw 99% cpu usage is probably cuz a loop is running,happens with while loop when da counter variable value is not defined before da loop ;)
p.s sorry for da double post mods,can't really bother...

okay reading that(well trying to read that) gave me a headache lol,anyways i jst started wiv txt file manipulation and stuff so no idea here.. !
got a couple of pascal tutorial links if you want :)

kewlness :D....needed a bit of modifying to get it working thou

SysUtils is a turbo pascal unit?
