If you will find a way to import your data into RT once, there is, of course, a way to do this daily. Assuming that your data is in some text format (like .csv file), you could use GNU diff to find out the differences between two text files (one for yesterday and one for today). The output of GNU diff is very easy to parse and act upon. (hint: when using this tool, go for unified diff output - it's even easier to parse). -- Leonid Mamchenkov http://mamchenkov.net _______________________________________________ http://lists.bestpractical.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rt-users Community help: http://wiki.bestpractical.com Commercial support: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Discover RT's hidden secrets with RT Essentials from O'Reilly Media.
