Hi
Thanks for the reply. Yes I can already do that ie.
$values[1]...[2]...[3], and no the file is not comma delimited. It is
delimited by a new line as some of the values are text area inputs. What
I want to be able to do is have the while iterate to the next value so
that any changes in the text file or the originating form that writes
the text file will not require me to go into this one and change all the
numbers.
