Hello, I need to change he contents of text file.
the textfile would look like this:

So 03.03.2002|Hello, this is a test|second field

I cannot use a database, because a java applet takes this textfile as the source.

So I would like to change the text between the | through a form.

has anyone an idea?

Thank you for every hint.

Why don't you use database to manage (insert/update/delete) data and create a script that will export them to a text file.

Thanks for the hint, good idea!
Just one more question. How do I export a table from a database to a textfile in the proper format?
