How do I create an HTM file and have it display ASP values

[Thomas B. Anger]

I wrote a simple Men's Breakfast entry form for my church and it stores the
results tab delimited separated by "". Something like 4 fields. The file
is called mensbreakfast.txt

I am trying to write a simple page in frontpage so I can have the titles of
the fields then also have the actual stored values show up on it.I am using
frontpage and figured it should be easy, but I cannot find what
utility/routine I should use.

Please show us exactly what format you mean.

"one" "bacon-and-eggs"
"two" "corn-flakes"

?

Nothing in frontpage is "easy", use a text editor instead.

==============

There are roughly two ways in ASP to read a .txt file

1 Read it row by row and use ASP vbscript to parse your data on a line

2 Use a Jet database connection to the .txt file, a bit of a overkill?

If everyone is using IE check out the Tabular Data Control (TDC) installed
with the browsers since IE4. It will read a text file and populate an html
table. It also allows you to build in client side sorting of the table and
pagination.
