Could someone give me a rundown on how to search through a datatable looking for matching data please. I made this image of a simple table:
I forgot to add column headers but lets say the headers are the letters A, B, C, and D. When I execute the search I want the numbers to be examined and any that are the same are to be reported like "AA matches AD and DA with 4. AB matches ED with 9. AC matches CA and DB with 5" etc
The number of columns will never change but the rows will increase over time. I'm only asking about how to implement the search functionality, not about showing the results or anything else (the other stuff may pop up in it's own thread at some point), I just want this thread to be laser focused on that one aspect of this.
Thanks
