Hi All,

I have a script which reads a data file, reads the characters one by one and
if a certain character is meet it does something else, at the moment it
echos the fact that it meet a certain character.

I need it to take the characters it has read up to that point and present
them to a database field thats forms part of a set of fields that will be
updated at once. Then it will continue to read the remainder of the file and
repeat the process until it reaches eof.

Is there something similar to goto or gosub, I did some checking and was
laughed at, as you can probably tell I'm a newbie. Maybe I should be calling
an external script? Any assistance is gratefully accepted.

Cheers
