Thanks again!!
1 final question if i may...
how to split everything so i can use the column seperately? what 1 mean is from my previous sample that the data in the first column and second column can be accessed completely seperate from eachother.

a[i] is first column, a[i+1] is second column. You can copy them to 2 separate arrays if want. If the table contains >2 columns, change ncolumns.
