| Subject: | Phonecode Dilemma |
Hiya Guys,
Okay I've sorta finished v1 of my phonecode proggie, and am now on v2 which
will have many more features :)
Anyway, I'd like your opinions!!
I am basically reading the phonecodes into different arrays, I setup 20,000
array elements in each array (I use about 10200 in each).. This obviously
requires ALOT of memory, so what would be the best way arounf this..
basically the arrays are:
codes$ (20000)
subcode$ (20000)
areacode$(20000)
display$ (20000)
now each holds info codes holds the dialling code, and subcode holds all the
little sub codes (eg 0181 (dial code) -897 (0181-897))..
areacode$ holds the name of the area, and lastly display$ holds the info to
be displayed!!
I thought about reading codes into 1 array, and then using left$/Mid$ to get
the info and compare it eg...
suppose the following is a line from the codes.txt file:
0181 <20 spaces> London (greater)
I could do a check for either
if mid$(testline$(i),20,max_len_of_area)=inputted_area$) then dosomething
would this be better??
I'll try it I think :)
Anyway, Ideas would be appreciated :)
Cya
Mark
