Web Form Filler

[Dave B]

Does anyone know of a program that will read a text file and fill in a web
form with the contents of that file? We need to get about 3000 records (5
fields to each record) into a database owned by another company and the only
way it can be done (according to them) is to enter them one at a time into a
web form. We can get the records into a comma or tab separated text file
and would like to just read the file and auto insert the fields into the
form, adding an enter or another command at the end to write the data and
reload a blank form. Thanks for any help

Here is one method, will that work for you?

If not, there are others, but the above is possibly the easiest....

That works for a single field but we are needing to fill in 5 fields i.e.
name, address, city, state, zip. Can this be accomplished? I can get the
file in comma separated.

Thanks
