Searching Arrays

I have a RSLogix 5000 project. I have an array, There are twenty items or so in each. The customer now wants me to have a Panelview button so they can enter the Die # and it will search all of the array and display all recipes that have that Die #. I was thinking you could do a search the 1st array and copy it to a Results array, which I can then display the results of that array.

Part#
Die #
Length
Weight
Blade Diameter
Lineal length
Teeth count
and so on

tkvech,

i did this in a slc 500 for several projects.
i did a for next loop.
i'm doing this from memory.

Create an array for each parameter and add a few more.
Let index position [0] be for the current production piece.
Define an integer for your search number

If search[index] <> to partno[pos] then jump to lable A.
Lable A goes to a dummy contact
then you add 1 to the search position.

when the numbers equal, move the data registers to pos [0].

this is from memory.

hope this helps,
james

it isn't clear to me if each index has 20 items or the array is 20 items long.
If the array is short do a linear search as James said. If the array is long then do a binary search.
