Duncan -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, 26 September 2002 11:20 a.m. To: Multiple recipients of list delphi Subject: [DUG]: Working with Excell spreadsheets Hi, I want to read in a spreadsheet (could be just a csv), check certain columns versus what's on a database, and add an additional column or 2 to the spreadsheet if I find a discrepancy (in the spreadsheet vs the database) and then write back out the updated csv. I haven't been developing in Delphi long and this is the first time I've wanted to read a text file. Looking at help, I'm thinking TstringStream would probably be a start. Unless someone can suggest something more elegant or better fitted to the task? Thanks for any ideas.
