Hi all,.. I have a requirement here. Need guidance in doing that. Any help will be useful. TIA. I have a flat file with tab delimited records and the file looks like below: abcd 1234 cdef 3478 ghae 6284 ... I have to fetch the data 'abcd' and 'cdef' from this flat file and fetch some corresponding attributes from a file which has 'abcd' and 'cdef' as the key values. Please let me know if this could be done. If yes any kinda basic suggestions in doing that will be helpful. Thanks again, Sathya V. _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
