if I don't use a loop it seems that it only processes 1st two lines.
is there another way I can process the file without a loop?
In your initial post you said:
"so i have a text file that looks like this
10/04/2004 UPL TZOO CME CRDN WIBC PETD SMF
10/11/2004 UPL TZOO CME WIBC PETD VNBC AMED
anyway each line has 1 date field and 100 stock symbols and they are
in order. I am trying to compare the different lines to see what has
changed."
and when I said that the outer loops were redundant, I based it on the
assumption that there are just two lines that you want to compare.
Actually, everything I've said was based on that assumption.
Maybe it's time that you *really* explain what it is you want to do,
including which lines you want to stuff in which arrays and which arrays
you want to compare with which arrays...
