(About the author)
 
     A binary search I wrote for my grade 12 computers class. This opens the file sorted.txt and searches for a record. Much Faster Than a Sequential Search

Note: Due to the size or complexity of this submission, the author has submitted it as a .zip file to shorten your download time. Afterdownloading it, you will need a program like Winzip to decompress it.Virus note:All files are scanned once-a-day by Planet Source Code for viruses, but new viruses come out every day, so no prevention program can catch 100% of them. For your own safety, please:
  1. Re-scan downloaded files using your personal virus checker before using it.
  2. NEVER, EVER run compiled files (.exe's, .ocx's, .dll's etc.)--only run source code.
  3. Scan the source code with Minnow's Project Scanner

If you don't have a virus scanner, you can get one at many places on the net including:McAfee.com

The approach is good, but when i put in something not in the list it got stuck so i changed it to
If lobound = curmid Or upbound = curmid Or upbound = 1 Then Exit Do
