Hello, here is the problem:
I have to develop a DOS program in PASCAL with FREEPASCAL that reads a small txt freedb (musics data) database (47 MB) by loading it all to the memory. It is a final work of a course i am attending in college called "Data Structure and Algorithms" ("Estrutura de Dados e Algoritmos" in portuguese).
We've learned some kinds of structure like: Lists,Trees and Graphs using variable pointers in PASCAL.
So, i HAVE to load the entire txt file to the memory using some type of structure designed in pascal. What would be best to use? When searching, for each key pressed by the user, the program should show a list of 20 itens per page whith only music records starting with the typed characters. The user may search by title, album or singer.
Could you tell me what would be the fastest structure and a quick pick
on how to implement it?
