Connection to text file

Can anyone help with how I can use Dreamweaver8 and ASP to sort and include data from a text file into my page?
I've got a system here that outputs and FTPs a text file to our webserver (at hosting service). Its a listing of school closings. I want to use ASP to parse the text file and group by State, then City, and include that in a web page listing closings. I do it right now with ASP to a SQL database on our host we key in closings data with.
My new School Closings system can take phone calls with Dialogic voice processing boards, and stores in in a local Access database, but then only outputs and FTPs a text file to my web server. I want to put that text file data into my public web page, but don't know how.
Any help would be great. I've done ADO SQL connections with classic ASP and worked in DW8. Not sure how or if I can with a text file.
