As much as I want to learn perl, I am in need or making sure that i can do what is needed. This is for work and unfortunately they are placing a tight deadline on doing this. I have read some documentation on perl and got a idea that this language can work, I just need to be shown which way to look. | [reply] |
I'm sorry, but that is like asking an auto dealer if a car
can drive from one coast to another, before you take
driving lessons...
Of course Perl can do the job, so can C, and a host
of other languages. If you want help solving the problem
that give us better definition of what the problem is.
A sample of the different type of records would be
nice.

There are many more record types. By record types, I mean the first three characters of each line. This is why I meant to place each type to an individual file.
Original thought's were to put this into ACCESS, but then we have the fixed length and no delimiter problem.
Thanks
