Recursive Searching

[mostvaluableprogrammer]

Hello,

I have a two lists (generic type <string>), I need to search the first list, get the result and search the second list, get the result, search the first list, etc, etc and toggle my searches back and forth between the two lists until nothing is found.

Has anyone written a recursive search like this before ?

Any help would be appreciated.

Sincerely,

Matt

I don't think I have.

But what is the problem?

Pseudo code:

search1() {
search in list 1
if some condition call search2
}

search2() {
search in list 2
if some condition call search1
}
