in thread cgi table

That you so much for your reply. It is point me in the right direction. I'll explain a little more what I have. I have a script that is ran on an hourly bases. It downloads a text file from the internet. and saves it by the time it was download. They are in this format 9:00-Fri-Sep-24-2010.txt. In the text file there are two rows. THe first row is a name and the second row is a number. So my table I want to look like this

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 ... 23 #where this is the time the fil +e was downloaded now here is going to be the data, each column is going to be all the d +ata for that time. the top will be the earilst and the bottom will be + the newest date. #so the whole thing will look like this 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 ... 23 5 6 4 5 7 9 545 65 ... 4 5 4 3 424 45 35 1..
also here is a snipet of what the txt files look like

Kanes+Wrath 121 naffy123 136 Immortal+Hero 136 langers123x 120 Szundyyyyy 120 XfeverX 144 CaptainSalty 118 arhavin2 116 Layken 140 1Princess+Sparkle1 116
Also when running the coded you provided I get the following output, which I am looking into the cause
Global symbol "@tbl_rows" requires explicit package name at points2.cg +i line 35. Global symbol "@tbl_rows" requires explicit package name at points2.cg +i line 44. Execution of points2.cgi aborted due to compilation errors.

    frenchface:

    From the error message, it sounds like you didn't declare @tbl_rows. As far as your table description, I still don't understand it.

    ...roboticus

      Ok here is the best I can do.
      0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 ...23 aug 1 aug 2 aug 3 aug 4 aug 5 etc
      So the top row will be the time the data was captured and the column is the date it was capture. Now like I said I have tons of txt files that are saved by the time and date. so if a person searches for "Doug" the script is going to search all of the text files for the name doug and print that in the table. when it opens up the file name 20:00-Fri-Sep-24-2010.txt it should place the data from the name Doug in the column 20 and the row Sep 24. So for one day there is 24 text files for each different hour of the day. Every different day is a different row in the chart. Again thanks for all your help, I hope this explains it so that you can understand it.
