I am working on a project to generate html using a file to acquire the data needed to generate the html. The file contains four data fields. The first three are printed on the html page that is generated and the forth identifies the group to which the first three belong. So the data file looks something like this:
somedata1.........somedata2.........somedata3.......groupid

Each group must be written to a different output file. I want to generate the html files without writing a separate routine for each group. I have created a file with the groupid and it's output file name. I would like to be able to change the filehandle of the output file depending on the groupid as I process the input file. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
