sorting list problem

by richard <spam@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Dec 28, 2007 at 08:23 PM

I have a list of a few thousand records that I need to resolve into
one short list.

I have compiled and sorted, a major list of items.
Each item is currently listed multiple times due to the last field
entry.
I'm trying to make a short list where the duplicates are not entered,
but counted.
So each new item begins a new record in the short list.

e.g.

John Smith,123 adams,some where, 1234
John Smith,123 adams,some where, 1245
John Smith,123 adams,some where, 1266

Bill Smith, Baker, else where, 3452
Bill Smith, Baker, else where, 3588
Bill Smith, Baker, else where, 3762

Would become:

John Smith, 3
Bill Smith, 3


Are you guys still messin around with ancient qbasic?
Upgrade! 
www.libertybasic.com
This puppy is everything that basic was with a lot of new twists.
It also works within windows so you don't need to go into dos.
Newer versions will include html.

Can basic connect you to the internet and beyond?
Liberty Basic can.
