- I have received the same answer (word processors) from about seven
- different people. I should have made this more clear, but I meant
- I needed to program a way to do this automatically. If I only wanted
- to read the file, I could use a word processor, but I need the program to
- read the file (and the file changes each day).
-
- The problem has been solved, though. Thank you to all of those who
- offered help!
