The best way is via c function calls (fopen, etc). If that's not available, a scheme that creates a temp table, loads the file into it, and then fetches from the table is possible, but there are a few details to be aware of: you have to make sure there are no unanticipated pipe (|) delimiters in the file, etc. What's the format of the file? ======================================================================= Dennis J.
