I wrote a simple Men's Breakfast entry form for my church and it
stores the results tab delimited separated by "". Something like 4
fields. The file is called mensbreakfast.txt
Please show us exactly what format you mean.
"one" "bacon-and-eggs"
"two" "corn-flakes"
?
I am trying to write a simple page in frontpage so I can have the
titles of the fields then also have the actual stored values show up
on it.I am using frontpage and figured it should be easy, but I cannot
find what utility/routine I should use.
Nothing in frontpage is "easy", use a text editor instead.
==============
There are roughly two ways in ASP to read a .txt file
1 Read it row by row and use ASP vbscript to parse your data on a line

2 Use a Jet database connection to the .txt file, a bit of a overkill?
