 I had prepared perl + shell script for making Airport specs for FGFS

Sounds very useful - I've got a script which imports default.apt into my
database, so it'd be handy to have a look at it so I can use it as a basis
for importing DAFIFT info too.

After that, the next step will be to (re)consider what fields should
appear in the database for each airport.


All the best,

Let me guess - Perl/DBI/DBD-MySQL ? Oh, that's a really awesome toolset.
I've spent hours ... weeks, no: months with Perl/DBI (plus DBD-Sybase) to
import delimiter-separated text files into a database. I _love_ this  ;-)

They are there as two attachments in my previous mail. 

(BTW is it bad to send things as attachments in FGFS-* groups ?)

Exactly.

Perls regex support is PERFECT for jobs like this. Then once it's in the
database I'm using php for the front end (but perl  GD to do the images).

..INHO, the ideal way is to post the url so we can DL your code from it.
Some people still have expensive metered low bandwidth dial-up wiring 
to Internet, and I used to hate it when some idiot spammer attached 
his Hi, I sell $crap Wintendo Word format ad to his Wintendo html
format email, but YMMV, I'm now on a 802.11 link.
