But seriously.. I didn't mean to sound harsh... I understand that you want
your problem solved... Now.. if we gave the answer (wrote the script for
you) then you'll abuse our help and ask again and again.... we are here to
help people leran. Like someone else said, be a little bit mor spacific and
we can guide you with ease.
If you would like to know how you could go about doing this then, i guess if
you can't think about what you need to do then you really are stuck...
humm.. thats where a programmer shines.. you can either do it or you can't.
It sounded to me as if you new what you were doing.... (you explained how
you added to a flat-file)
