Text Stream
I need to display some information from a text log file. The information being called in is between a lead in and lead out in the log. Here is an example of what the log file looks like.
<++++++++++++++++++++>
<RECEIPT>1234
INFO INFO INFO
INFO INFO INFO
1234</RECEIPT>
<++++++++++++++++++++>
<RECEIPT>4567
INFO INFO INFO
INFO INFO INFO
4567</RECEIPT>
<++++++++++++++++++++>
As an example I want to display just the INFO for receipt 4567 and not the <RECEIPT> lines or the <+++++> lines.
I have been playing with the readfile.asp page and it will read the entire file and display it now I just need to limit that to what is between the receipt lines.
Any help will be appreciated. New to asp and web dev.

i'm not sure how you would do that, but if i were you, i'd switch it over to a database so you don't have to worry about parsing out lines. text files are outdated. plus, a database will help you control the information you put out more easily, and help customize it using a repeater. a repeater will allow you to use HTML to customize the look and feel of whatever it is you're importing!
