Where to look?

Mar 4, 2013 at 10:31pm
I want to create a search function doing the following:

(example) 1

Search menu

Search for: Ander|

Result
Andersen J.
Andersen N.
Andersson H.


(example) 2

Search menu

Search for: Anderse|

Result
Andersen J.
Andersen N.


I dont know how to explain it simple, but I want the program to show the result at the same time the user is typing the search frase, and the results should be presented below the user input.

Where can I find information about how to do this?

well the basic idea your getting at is anytime there is user input you do the search and update the results appropriately. On a command line program you would probably want to use something like ncurses if your writing a gui application its pretty easy and the gui framework would have plenty of resources on it.

Dont know what the windows pdcurses is but a quick example would be great.

Its a command line program, using Code::Blocks and GNU compiler
