Finding Longest Increasing Sequence Not Giving Proper Result

Okay so I need to be able to read a file and then be able to find the longest sequence of increasing numbers.

So if the file was this, (this is Ass1Q2_test4.txt)

97 47 56 36 60 31 57 54 12 55
35 57 41 13 82 80 71 93 31 62
89 36 98 75 91 46 95 53 37 99
25 45 26 17 15 82 80 73 96 17
75 22 63 96 96 36 64 31 99 86
12 80 42 74 54 14 93 17 14 55
14 15 20 71 34 50 22 60 32 41
90 69 44 52 54 73 20 12 55 52
39 33 25 31 76 45 44 84 90 52
94 35 55 24 41 63 87 93 79 24

the output should be,

(5,0) with cost 12
(6,0) with cost 14
(6,1) with cost 15
(6,2) with cost 20
(7,2) with cost 44
(7,3) with cost 52
(7,4) with cost 54
(6,3) with cost 71
(5,3) with cost 74
(4,3) with cost 96

Greatest path is of length 10.

Now, the code that I have works, kind of. Instead of recurring several times at each point, it only recurs once.

So say I'm looking at (1,1). With (1,1) being 57. The area around it looks like this.

97 47 56
35 57 41
89 36 98

Now when I look at it, there are several paths it can take. It can go 57, 97 or 57, 89 or 57, 98. However, I'm pretty sure that it just uses the first one that corresponds with the first if statement that is valid. So I start checking north of the value, then northeast, then east, then southeast, which at southeast is where I find my first greater than value. After it finds it's first valid number, it then continues from that number, instead of checking if there are other longer paths stemming from the original value.

In conjunction with that, you can see that the printout just returns all paths from each value. Which isn't what I want. I need a way to store the longest current path, then check each path after to see if it's longer. If it is, it's replaced, if not, it stays the same.

I've also attached Ass1Q2_test4.txt
