Hi Jan, can you post an example of the ftp weather text file for us to look
at? If its just a simple forecast you can easily build an ASP or PHP page
with a case statement to decide what to display in the page.
Ie
<%
Dim weather
'read the file with fso the get the txt for a key word eg weather = Fine
Select Case weather
Case "Fine" weather = "<img src='/fine.gif'>"
Case "Hot" weather = "<img src='/Hot.gif'>"
Case "Cold" weather = "<img src='/Cold.gif'>"
End Select
'in the page
Response.Write weather
%>
Regards
Stephen

Subject: [wdvltalk] Weather Forecast updates to html
Hi list
I have a client that receives codes from the weather forecast office by
ftp. Each code is assigned to a certain .gif image and text description.
Using those codes, I will need to update the HTML page with the weather
forecast. The update code can be in Perl or any other language.
That is all the information I have right now. I have never tried
something like this before, and know that I will have to download a lot
of software (meteor script, etc.) just to be able to check it out. I
don't know if it will be easy or difficult, so I'm wondering if anyone
on this knows what will be involved and can advise if it's too much
work, or any other advice regarding this task.
jan
