Address

[LuiM]

Someone has given me a hand written list of all there contacts home addresses, and they would like me to type up, and print them off onto labelled paper, however they would like them in alphabetical order. There are about 150 - 200 addresses,

Getting to the point...what is the easiest way i can type all these up, and then have them arranged into alphabetical order to then print onto the labelled paper?

Any help would be much appreciated

Well, i'd type them up, in a text file formatted like this:

"addresses.txt"

Code: Select all

Name, Address

Name, Address

Name, Address

Then, i'd make a php file do this:

Code: Select all

<?PHP

$addresses = file("addresses.txt");

sort($addresses);

$open = fopen("alpha_addr.txt", "a");

for($a = 0; $a < count($addresses); $a++)
{
fwrite($open, $addresses[$a]);
}

fclose($open);
header("location: alpha_addr.txt");

?>

I've actually done something like this before.

We always used WP for smaller databases.
It was my job to enter in roughly a thousand of inmate's addy's for civil suits.

I'm not on a Windoze machine nor have I been on one for over a year, so I can't accuratly say which prog you can use for this.

(Someone else may know, sorry).

You can prolly find freeware database progs online, too.

Bonne chance
