importing variables from .txt

[sandro]

hi,

I need to import variable values out of a txt file on a daily basis.
The file has a format similiar to this example:
20070315;1;-1;-1;+1;1.3299;0;1.3200;1.3300

Can I do that the Perl way? eg.

open(FILE, ... die "bla";
while (<INFILE>) {
@line = split();
$variable1 = $line[1]
...

I want to test if our trading system (www.aergo.ch) is tradeable through Ninjatarder.

Thanks for your help,

Sandro

Hi Sandro,

You will need to use Microsoft .NET StreamReader and/or File classes. These classes deal with reading files. See the links below for help references. You can also google these classes should you need other sample code or help references.
