String Manipulation

[SiliconJesus <softichj@cs.montana.edu>]

I have run into a problem while writing a recent program.

I have a field in a record called name, which when I get input from a
specified data file it's Lastname, First well the problem is not in
inputting it, but when I update this record from another file, only the
last name is given.  So how do I read a character at a time and put only
the last name in a temp variable so I can compare the two names so that
the rest of the record gets updated.


Thanks
