Importing text file into table?

What I am wanting to do is have a text file that a user can upload to my
server, and assign it to be displayed in a table column, formatted by CSS.

What's the easiest way to accomplish this?

Thanks!
Steve

You'll need some sort of serverside script. What kind of host are you on?
What serverside scripting do you have available?

Is ASP needed at all?

I'm on IIS, so VBscript, and ASP should be available

Well basically if you press F1 in dreamweaver and do a search for "update
record" it will give you all the information you need.

Just make sure that your css in place and that's it.

Listen mate, I have spent many hours on my pc going through the tuts that
come shipped with DW, I have also spent many hours on various sites to learn
particular stuff, it is impossible for me or anyone else to reply to the
persons question correctly without having to write a complete tutorial that
would take fuc..... ages. F1 is a wonderful key and if you follow the
guidelines you will learn so much, if you have a hiccup on the way then that
is when you need to post to the forum. If some chap cannot press F1 then he
has no place here, there or anywhere.

Kind regards

Paul

Hi Steve

You need to connect to a database, do you know how to do this?

Not to read in and parse a CSV file, if the file is as he wants it.
Something like (pseudocode):

<table>
<%
open myfile.csv
while (not EOF myfile.csv)
read a line
split line at commas
write "<tr><td>" & item1 & "</td><td>" & item2 ... & "</td></tr>"
end while
close myfile.csv
%>
</table>

If the file needs further processing (sorting, say) then the OP would need
a database.
