text in text boxes.

[Matto]

Hi.

I have been pondering how to do this but cannot come up with a decent way.

Basically I have a news posting program which write everything to a single txt file. There is no real way of editing posts unless you just open the file it writes everything to. I am wondering if there is a way to read the txt file and split the posts into dynamically created text boxes?

I hope this make some sense.

Splitting isn't such an issue if you have some (CONSTANT) points to split at.

Can you post an excerpt of the post, and identify the key split points?

[Matto]

Ok, heres and example of a post

<!--start-->

<title><date>

<content>

<!--end-->

Is the source HTML?

[Matto]

Yep. its all in HTML.

[Bruce Fox]

OK. To make life easier from this point on, pls zip and post a (full)
file containing the data, or, post the URL

[Bruce Fox]

How are you viewing the URL?

Are you using Webbrowser?

[Matto]

I am at work currently, so I'm unable to upload anything, but I can post the actual file im using.

http://www.drownedmonkey.com/news.txt

thats how the program writes to the file.

Basically my program, writes to a txt file, then uploads the txt file to the webserver, then it just uses SSI to show the data on the page. Not very complex, but pretty useful.

Ok, can you spcify wich major elements you want pased out into
TextBoxes? (HTML can be parsed)

[Matto]

Probably, if possible...
