Need help with forms (I think)

[andrewcarter]

Hi! My name is Stephen and I am new to the forums. If anyone can answer my question, it would be greatly appreciated, so here goes...

I have a weird situation...I am writing a program for my company using HTML and Adobe GoLive. My company has another program that writes various information and exports it as a text-only document in several folders selecting "year" "month" "day" of the year, at a rate of about 60 documents a day, with each as an individual document. My program is put on a small network written in HTML and JavaScript to view these documents at random for any given date. I took HTML handcoding in college and did pretty well. I also took Microsoft FrontPage, but I am using Adobe GoLive (self-taught).

I know where the document is, but I need something that will enable me to select the information off of a calendar through my program. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Stephen

Stephen,

It sounds like an ideal use for Perl, if I understand your problem correctly. Are you of a programming sort of mind?

Cheers,


Edward

I don't know perl but do OK with figuring things out.
