hi, my question is; how to make a loop which would search the file from the previous search results and to iterate that loop as long as it goes. example : my problem is that i have a table that looks something like this: x => y, 23 | 32, 12 | 45, 12 | 35, 12 | 67, 45 | 34, 34 | 90, 34 | 55, 35 | 53, 35 | 44, 44 | 41, ... (coma represents new row) now i'm having problems with creating a loop that would find for example #12, return the result(s) for #12 and start the search again with that result(s) (example: 12=>35, 35=>44, 44=>41...). and that it writes down the results of each search. thank you , robert
