in reply to An odd flat file database question
While your db may have other problems (which others have
made suggestions about) I'll answer with one
method of doing what you are asking for. Load your file
into @array. Then start from the top of the array looking
for a match on your first key. The first match is the
starting index for your output. Next, use a reverse for
loop, ie start at the last line of the array and decrement
by one, until you get a match. That is the last line you
want to output. Then simply print out everything from your
first index to your second index.
A quick fix that will hold off the dogs while you are
learning to program a real dbi.
