SUMMARY:
This program will be used to generate files with numbers. These files will be sent to printing companies so they will create barcoded stickers/cards for our customers. The program will need to accept the Starting Number, how many numbers to create and how many numbers to write on each file. The file should look something like this

10000
10001
10002
10003
..
15000

The name of the file will be Barcodes-XXXXXX.txt where XXXXX will be the starting number in the file.

Thank you,

You are joking right?

Member 10355488 23-Oct-13 14:13pm

nope don't even know how to start this.

You attend(ed) some course or training, don't you?
If not, depending on your preferred learning method, attend a course or run some getting started programming tutorial your self.
We don't do your work here. Learn it and ask **specific** questions here where you have a **specific** problem.

I understand that i just need to get some sort of direction on how to start on this.

1) Do you understand the task as stated above? State it again in your own words, ask your mates, ask your teacher for help.
2) Write down the task in some pseudo code, e.g.

get start-number, total-numbers numbers-per-file
while there are numbers left do
{
create new file with current number
while there are numbers left and numbers-per-file not exceeded for this file
{
write number to file
next number
}
close file
}
3) take your development environment and transform the pseudo code into real code of the given/selected programming language.
4) test - fix - test - ... - document - ship

Very well, your thread read as if you were asking someone to do it for you. You will have to break down each piece of your project and do one at a time. Use the internet to search for examples of all the tasks you need to accomplish. When you have some code assembled, bring it back here and then we can help you out.
