> Hi all, > > > I have this huge db in FileMaker Pro format :-( Which plattform? Mac, Win? I had once to write an import script for mysql to import a tab-export from FM Pro Mac. I did it this way: -HTML-Fileupload -Translate chars (e.g. german characters ä, ö, ü - or in HTML ä, ö - furthermore I translated ASCII 13 to <br>) -Read in a loop line for line -Split line by tab -check if record is already in mysql database (only if you have to import more than once) -build mysql insert query -done :) If you have more questions or more detailed questions just ask best regards Stefan Rusterholz > Now I need this db to make a db content based website.
