That's a good start.  Maybe you could post the code that you've already 
got that does this, and people could comment on it and help you along. 
(I'm suggesting that partly because this almost sounds like homework, 
but you'll benefit more by doing it this way than just by having an 
answer handed to you whether this is homework or not.)
