Hello..
I've a question. Let say i've this in my txt type file with id field, name field, address field and deposit field :-
1 Jessica Simpson United Kingdom 5687.900000
37 Jennifer Anniston United States 7659.000000
4 Brad Pitt United States 87549.000000
9 Mike Shinoda United States 999865.000000
How can i sort all the user in my text file base on their id
and display a sorted list?
Is this possible to do in C?
Thank you..

The id is the first number on each line, so extracting it with sscanf is trivial. Do you know anything about sorting? Your question is extremely vague in terms of what you're capable of. I wouldn't want to give you an advanced solution if you don't even know bubble sort. ;)
>Is this possible to do in C?
Why does everyone ask this? There are only a handful of (very low level) things that C can't do, and that's only because the machine simply doesn't allow it.
This basically what i've done so far.. For the display client list, i need to sort all the user base on their id. I cant figure it out so far how to do it. Kinda hard for me..

I know how does bubble sort works. But my problem is i dont how to extract the id field for each user and then sort them. After that display an ascending order of list of the user base on their id.
>But my problem is i dont how to extract the id field for each user and then sort them.
Okay, you know how to sort, so what's wrong with using sscanf to extract the id field? Then it's a simple matter of sorting keyed on the id member of an array of structure objects.
>After that display an ascending order of list of the user base on their id.
Well duh. After you sort then the array will be in order, so all you do is print everything in the array. It strikes me that you're making this problem way more complicated than it really is.
Thanks..i already know how to sort them...
