    read text file and display webpage

    Hi,

    what is the easiest way to read text from a text file and display it on a webpage? Can't do it with ASP though coz don't think our server can run it.

    We have got a cgi-bin though.

    Thanks for any help

    Do you want to display the whole text file.
    Then your browser can display it. e.g. in an IFRAME
