But it is a flame. She stated that she was on chapter 4 and now the
boss wants something. Depending on her background(ie, number of years
programming ,etc) this can be overwhelming. Yes, she probably could have
done more, but if she is truly a newbie, how does she know what to ask or
even if it is simple to do.
I have voluntered because it is Perl, then found out I am involved
with OLE and MS. I don't know what to ask or even how. I made the
assumption it is connected with Perl, so should be a snap. I have yet to
make the grade in OLE processing, but can do quite a bit with Perl.
Wags ;)

Hello,
This is not a flame.
You provided a small program that does nothing but print the file. If
you need help, you really should help yourself a little more by first
thinking how the program should function. What are the logical steps
that need to be performed to achieve what you want. What data do you
want to get from the file, and what data do you want to output.
At least, attempt to parse the input file and put the data in an array.
This should be simple (read about split). Learn how to iterate over
the array (using foreach loop). Hopefully, you'll get your job done. If
not, post your non-working program and people will literally race to help
you.
People here are very helpful but only if you help yourself.
