I have a script that takes a text file created in Access and prints it out.

Example of my text file:
97 Ford Mustang|Red|46000|9990.00 99 Chevy Blazer|Black|19000|17000.00
I have a script that creates a list like:

97 Ford Mustang
99 Chevy Blazer

Now comes the tricky part. I want each item in the list above to be a link to another page that dispalays the specifics for that car. So when you click on 97 Ford Mustang another page is created:

Make & Model: 97 Ford Mustang
Color: Red
Mileage:46000
List Price: $9990.00


Kinda like e-bay where you have a list of titles and when you click on the title all the specifics come up. Any suggestions on how to do it from a single file? or perhaps where I would find a script to do this?

Thanks
Scott

Edit by tye, title, unhide line breaks
