Hi all, this question is for liberty basic (not sure if its the same or simmiler) but i am desperate for help :cry: it opens a txt file and reads the records the layout of the file is like this :

HEN01023025,Jane Henderson,10/02/1982,Maths,67
HEN01023025,Jane Henderson,10/02/1982,Science,24

i have started a program that needs to do the following "this option should print out the name of the student who has attained the highest mark in a single exam. it should show their name, the subject and the mark attained"

i have been able to get the highest gade but i need help to get the subject and grade in a print statement i.e

i can do the Highest mark but i dont know how to make it so that the Name of the student and the subject that they had the mark in show up

but im stuck i have to print the information like this:


Thanks alot in advance hope you guys can help

p.s sorry that its LB not VB but i cant find a forum for it

Well, I just wrote this... I haven't run it and don't know if it will be compatible with Liberty Basic (this uses QBasic syntax):

The text file shouldn't need to be modified so...


should do just fine. For the code of the app you should use something like...


That's only basic (ignore the pun), but if you put it inside a loop, then you should be able to get a working program.

To see who got the highest result, you could probably do an if statement inside a while loop.

Hope that helped,

thats what im kind of stuck on (to see who highest and display the subject and their mark) lol thanks for the code :cheesy:

Hmmm, I'lll give that a thought over the next day or so and come back to you with some c0de... perhaps.

Ok thanks again mate
