Writing an algorithm to complete a checklist, where to start? -


i'm completing dissertation in health economics , explore possibility of using algorithm answer checklist manually filled in during research.

the checklist 24-item checklist asks questions such "was discount rate reported?". now, articles i've been reviewing tend codified. is, there few ways report answer (e.g. "we discounted @ 3% in evaluation").

theoretically, think possible write program search text , fill out majority of these checklist items. however, have little experience in programming. far can see, program involve writing algorithm of sorts, knowledge ends.

particularly, know - possible? - if so, how go exploring further? ideally, i'd point play around writing algorithm through database.

this done simple logic , parsing, key manual entries consistent in way "codified".

for example, you'd parse line specific token (or validation word).

in case above parse word word string: "we discounted @ 3% in evaluation"

code wise implement basic logical comparison each word parsed in string.

if(currentword equal "discounted")      create checkmark.
