Split tasks if possible?

[vindicta]

For the program I am making I would like to have a menu for the user to select a certain operation to be done. For example one option will collect data and save it and the other will find the data and analyze it. Should I just be using different procedures and fuctions? or can i run an entire different program with a certain code?

Yeah just use different routines. There's no reason to open a whole other program.

Just do something like this:

code:

procedure CollectData end CollectData procedure AnalyzeData end AnalyzeData procedure Main     var x : string     loop         put "1) Collect data"         put "2) Analyze data"         put "3) Quit"         get x : *         if x = "1" then             CollectData         elsif x = "2" then             AnalyzeData         elsif x = "3" then             exit         end if     end loop end Main Main

Good luck,
