Chris,
It's a little difficult to do in ascii, but here's an attempt. This is a
simple hotel/motel log of who's staying in certain rooms. The 7 columns are
the 7 days in the week and guest names fall under whichever date they
checked in. So, let's see if I can give you a visual representation of this.
I will only include two columns and a few rows, for now. You may have to fix
your viewing window to allow this table to expand horizontally...
|--------------------------|--------------------------|---------------------
-----|
| MON JUL 5 | TUE JUL 6 | etc...
|
-----|--------|--------------------------|--------------------------|-------
-------------------|--------|-----|
Rm # |Rm Type | First Name | Last Name | First Name | Last Name | etc...
|Rm Type |Rm # |
-----|--------|--------------------------|--------------------------|-------
-------------------|--------|-----|
101 | NQQ | Isaac Newton | (empty room) | etc...
| NQQ |101 |
-----|--------|--------------------------|--------------------------|-------
-------------------|--------|-----|
102 | NK | Alexander Flemming | Alexander Flemming | etc...
| NK |102 |
-----|--------|--------------------------|--------------------------|-------

103 | K | Charles Darwin | Robert Kennedy | etc...
| K |103 |
-----|--------|--------------------------|--------------------------|-------

104 | QQ | Roger Rabbit | (empty room) | etc...
| QQ |104 |
-----|--------|--------------------------|--------------------------|-------
-------------------|--------|-----|
... | ... | ... etc | ... etc | etc...

Thanks...

it looks like you need to set up your loops the other way around.
right now your code is like this:
for (columns)
{
for (rows)
{
}
}
you want:
for (rows)
{
for (columns)
{
}
}
explained in english: you need to handle one row/person at a time and
not one column/date at a time.
on the other hand i'm not sure i totally understand your desired
output, so maybe a quick ascii table would help me/us?
chris.
