How do you search & sort an array?

I have two files and I would like to seach them and sort them in any order. My two data files are cust.dat and order.dat.

Code:

Cust.dat contains: CustomerId CustomerFirstName CustomerMiddleName CustomerLastName CustomerAddress CityStateZip CustomerPhoneNo CustomerEmailAddress order.dat contains: orderId width length CarpetCharge discount int NotFound = 0; While((k < NUM_OF_CUSTOMERS) && (NotFound ==1)) { if ( searchKey ==custRec[key]customerId) { NotFound = 0; } if ( searchKey ==orderRec[key]orderId) { NotFound = 0; } K++; }

How would I go about sorting it into the fields say CustomerFirstName or by TotalBill?
Thanks for any help you can provide.

re: comparing strings

I am trying to print out a report sorted by CustomerfirstName, CustomerMiddleName, CustomerLastName
and another report sorted by TotalBill (two totally seperate reports).

I have figured out how to read in and sort two data files but my problem is how to sort these two data files and produce the two different reports. Maybe I am making too much of this.

Thanks.

Re: They are sorted?

I'll try explaining it in a different way.

At the moment they are sorted by CustomerId and orderId (123456789 23156781 34567890) but if I am to sort the data by the CustomerFirstName or by total the way that I have sorted it would not be right that is by total because the lowest to the highest total would need to be printed.
The same way with CustomerFirstName it would need to be sorted abc not bac.

This is what is confusing me.
I hope I have explained what I am trying to say better.

Thanks.

Re: based on more than one criteria?

Yes, I belive you understand what I am trying to accomplish.

So, I think that I would need a search to pull it off. I'm just not sure how to do it.

Re: I need to see more.

It's a lot of code:

Here is cust.dat:

Holy christ! There is a reason you can add attachments. This is so I don't have to page through twenty five "page down"s of text because someone decided to post their entire fifteen file project!

Here are the data files that you requested:

Thanks for all of your help!!!!

it is more easy using qsort() from stdlib.h!!!

Re: I noticed a lot of hardcode.

The hard coded data is data that will never be changed and it is used to do the calculations.

This program prints a report with the data from cust.dat which
contains the customer information and it gets the data from order.dat and compares the CustomerId and orderId to make sure that the figures match up with the right customer.

Your code is way over my head. I have only learned the basics of "C". You are good at what you do. I'm impressed. I was going through my code this morning and I found the error that you caught plus an error in each scan statement. The CustomerEmailAddress "%25c" is missing in on the customer side and the orderId "%9c is on the order side.

When I compiled it, It printed out the report with CustomerId,
orderId, did not print first, middle, lastName, CustomerAddress,
CityStateZip, CustomerPhoneNo or CustomerEmailAddress.

It printed all of the data from order.dat.

I don't understand why it did not print the rest of the cust.dat...
That's what I am trying to fix at the moment.

.

I didn't read too much of the post, but see if you can understand the following..probably the easiest way to sort an array...

Code:

#include <stdio.h> #define SRT_ASCEND 0 #define SRT_DESCEND 1 void sorter(int *tsort, int len, int attr) { int x, y, tmp; if(attr == SRT_DESCEND) { for(x=0; x<len; x++) for(y=0; y<len; y++) if(tsort[x] > tsort[y]) { tmp = tsort[x]; tsort[x] = tsort[y]; tsort[y] = tmp; } } if(attr == SRT_ASCEND) { for(x=0; x<len; x++) for(y=0; y<len; y++) if(tsort[x] < tsort[y]) { tmp = tsort[x]; tsort[x] = tsort[y]; tsort[y] = tmp; } } } int main(void) { int x; int tsort[] = {3, 5, 1, 2, 4}; sorter(tsort, 5, SRT_ASCEND); for(x=0; x<5; x++) printf("%i",tsort[x]); sorter(tsort, 5, SRT_DESCEND); for(x=0; x<5; x++) printf("%i",tsort[x]); return 0; }

bubble sort is a slow sorting algorithm and should not be used for anything more serious than an assignment on bubble sort .

Also tell me about some of these calcuations

The whole program is based on a company that sells carpet and installs it.

The first number 10 is the length
The second number 10 or 20 is the width

length and width are read from the data file (not hard coded) and
calculated to get the area ( area = (length * width)

CarpetCharge is read in from the data file and multiplied by area
to get the CarpetTotal ( CarpetTotal = (CarpetCharge * area).

Labor is fixed so it is hard coded
laborTotal = ( .35 * 2000)

installedPrice is CarpetTotal + LaborTotal

discount is read from the file (0.20)
discountTotal = (installedPrice * discount)

subTotal = installedTotal - discountTotal

tax is fixed at 8.5% or .085
tax = TAX * subTotal

total = subTotal + tax

Code:

This is what the original report looks like: I think that it will help you to understand what I am speaking of. The reports that I have to do: 1 will look like this 1 sorted by CustomerName so I take it as first middle and last. 1 by sorted by total 1 history sorted by CustomerName 1 history sorted by total and so on After I figure all of this out, I have to make menus. I hope this makes more since now. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Header Here ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Customer Id: 123456789 Order Id: 123456789 First Name: James //this is not being filled Middle Name: William //this is not being filled Last Name: Madison //this is not being filled Address: 123 Maddison AVE //this is not being filled Maddison GA 30000 //this is not being filled Phone No: (333) 123-1234 //this is not being filled Email Address: [email protected] //this is not being filled ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ MEASUREMENT Length 10ft Width 20ft Area 200ft CHARGES DESCRIPTION COST/SQ.FT. CHARGE/ROOM ____________ __________ ______________ Carpet $10.00 $2000.00 Labor .35 $70.00 ________________ Installed Price $2070.00 Discount 0.20% 414.00 ________________ Subtotal $1656.00 Tax $140.76 Total $1796.76

Bubble sort is very easy to understand ,quick sort is only a bit more difficult to understand , and coding the recursive version of it is quite simple

for eg,

Code:

#include <stdio.h> void swap(int *a,int *b) { int temp; temp=*a; *a=*b; *b=temp; } void qs(int *a,int left,int right) { int i,pl=left,pv; if(left>=right) return; swap(&a[left],&a[(left+right)/2]); pv=a[left]; for(i= left+1;i<=right;i++) if(a[i]<pv) swap(&a[++pl],&a[i]); swap(&a[pl],&a[left]); qs(a,left,pl-1); qs(a,pl+1,right); } int main(void) { int a[]={3,1,4,5,2,7},i; printf("Before\n"); for(i=0;i<(sizeof(a)/sizeof(*a));i++) printf("a[%d]=%d\n",i,a[i]); qs(a,0,(sizeof(a)/sizeof(*a))-1); printf("After\n"); for(i=0;i<(sizeof(a)/sizeof(*a));i++) printf("a[%d]=%d\n",i,a[i]); return 0; }

.

Nowhere the original poser say that he had to sort his structures by bubble sort .
Extending the above method for array of structures is trivial.
I refuse to take the flame bait.
Go get a life .

What you think of me is of absolutely no concern of anyone in this board .
Dont vent your frustrations on this board , you could spend that time in a better way , no one is supposed to do other peoples homework for them , just to point them at the right direction .

I am not going to oblige you by abusing you back in return .
