Thanx,very much.

[GoodFun]

you could write a class that looks something like this:

type TQuestions = class
Question: String;
Answers: Array[0..4] of String;
Answer: Integer;
end;

of course you would write it a bit more elaborate, i.e. with private data members which then have public properties and so on.

You also create a list class derived from TObjectList in which you put the search functions that you need...
You can also put a procedure to read the text file and fill the objects in the object list into that list class...

I suggest you read the help file on TObjectList to see what it does and if you're not familiar yet with Object Oriented Programming, then I suggest you read chapter 7 Classes and Objects from the Object Pascal Language Guide. If you don't have the printed version of it, look for a file called oplg.pdf on your Delphi CD or download it from here:
