You have far too many variables acting as flags for a start. Some programming tips: use true and false instead of 1 and 0 for flags; write


Thanks a lot for your help!

Now I am trying to figure out a way to have it work if the lines in the input file contain comma-separated values like in

Name,Street,City,Telephone


Even in this case the only value that cannot be repeated within the same list is the Name (i.e. Street,City,Telephone can be repeated within the same file)

My first guess is I cannot use the Dictionary object as it is a bidimensional array (and the array i need in my example is 4 dimensional)

So I guess the program you suggested could do that if I use some function that reads the line, returns the Name portion of the line as the discriminant for repeated value and then writes the whole line to the correct sublist?


Thank you!
