Do you have the v2.0 manual btw? I'd like to add it to my own files but can't find a download anywhere.
EDIT: if the lines in your file are already sorted, and you're not doing anything else with the file but reading it in to group the lines and print them, then you can probably do this in one go and print as you read. |
Yes I have the original manual in hard copy. I find it hard to use because I'm not really a programmer. I'm just starting to learn but have a research
project to complete. I shall try your advice. Thanks for your help
