    I maintain a web page that requires data to be updated regurlarly
    I receive the data as a txt file with a list of numbers
    e.g. 5,76,354,6767,243,3,67,

    What I am currently doing is opening this file in excel by using commas as delimeters and then saving the file as a html file.

    I would like to write some sort of a program which would do this automatically. Since I have never done anything like this before, does anybody have any ideas as to where I should start?
    If you could just point me in the right direction, that would be great.


    Regards,
    Derek

    what programming languages do you know? do you want to do this as a standalone program or automatically on the server?
    JSP and perl spring to mind but the easiest way depends on your skillset.
