Hi,

Sounds liek you really need to load your data into a database, then it should be easy to retrieve the information you want.

hi,
i wish it was that simple. the string comes from a word document. i basically have to parse word documents and retrieve information from there. am not allowed to use COM so have to do it with fread.
not a very easy task. i have managed to asign the word doc content as a string and also managed to remove most of the special characters those get displayed in the browser(except table tags- help will be appreciated here too).
but then rest is where i am stuck.
can someone show me the right direction?
Thanks,
Suk
