Thread: comparing and counting

hi,
I'm pulling my hair on this one already a long time...
if someone can give me some advice on this one ... thanks
Because my prog. is 1500+ lines i only give the piece that is important....

What happens :
1 -> I have files filled with numbers in one line....
2 -> I've separated them till i have an array f_sep_nums[a][b] (this is an char array...)
3 -> I've static a static array ne.Nof[m][o]
4 -> I compare all the numbers in ne.Nof[m][o] with f_sep_nums[a][b]
5 -> every time there is a match it will add 1 to the array countN[m][p]++

Everything works fine here... but now i want it to count max 1 of a row...
so I can calculate a percentage a row...

What do i need :
1 -> how can I change or add some code so I get countN[m][p]++ to only count 1 for every row if there is a match or multiple matches in a row, and of course 0 for that row if there is no match

Code:

 
 for(a = 0; a <=totrows; a++)
    {
      for(b=1;b<=10;b++)
	{
	  for(m=0;m<=99;m++)
	    {
	      for(o=1;o<=3;o++)
		{
		  if(strcmp(f_sep_nums[a][b], ne.Nof[m][o]) == 0)
		    {
		      countN[m][p]++;
		    }
		}
           }
       }
   }

thanks

the array to count from for a match....
the loop over the rows is a
the loop over the colums or numbers in a row is b

the static array with 99 rows and 3 numbers every row
m for the rows
o for the numbers in a row....

like i said i got no clue otherwise I would have asked
I tried this but it didn't work

Code:

 if(strcmp(f_sep_nums[a][b], ne.Nof[m][o]) == 0)
		    {
                     if(a != a++)
                           {countNN[m][pp]++;
                     countN[m][p]++;
                     }
