hi out there!
got a question, 'n don't know if i'm right here.
maybe someone can help me.
let me tell u:

i've got a textfile with a lot of adresses of people.
each adress is in a own line, and name, street, town, etc. are seperated with an "|".
so far so good.
now, i want to get these data in a database without typing it with my fingers.
is there a way to manage this, do i have to write a programm, which type of db is the best/most comfortable?

anybody any ideas?

thank u
bye felix

I'm not much good with anything database related other than Access, but that text file that you have sounds as if it is a database?

A text file database as used by a number of CGI scripts I have installed?

As I say, I'm not sure if it counts.

For many databses exists Administrators and they have included tools for insert textfiles into databases. I use MySQL and PHP and PHPMYADMIN.
