If my poor english assists me, I'd like to ask you about how can I import a lot of small msword files into a mysql table where I've created a column definied as longblob. I'm using mysql 4.1 and I would avoid to start studing php or other language at this moment. In other word, my situation is: 1) weekly I receive a floppy from another company reporting a lot of business operations 2) this floppy has two types of information: structurated and not structurated and I need to import all into a mysql 4.1 database. For txt structurated files I've already written a query that automatically load all informations and insert them into the correct tables. The files has always the same name, so my query is fully automatic :-). For not structurated files (msword .doc files) I cannot find a solution. Every week they have a different name, so I need a procedure that look into a dir and get all .doc files and load each one into a record of my table. I'm using mysql server 4.1 over a freebsd machine, but all clients run under windows xp. Thanks for help Stefano
