Very interesting and challenging question

I need to take a file, similar to this and strip it of everything but this, and write it to a database. Are there any thoughts on how to get the information out, all the files are consistent. <!-- start strip --> Race Final Watkins Glen International 2.450 miles 31 laps -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fin Str Driver Laps Led Pts Qual Reason Out -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <!-- end strip --> <!-- start output --> 1 2 18 Dynamike18 31 24 185 118.007 Running 2 7 68 jcordeiro 31 0 170 116.078 Running 3 5 80 MattyJ140 31 0 165 116.881 Running 4 1 28 RUDD#28 31 6 165 118.219 Running 5 13 57 1SpeedDemon 31 0 155 Running 6 9 84 legends3 31 1 155 115.131 Running 7 3 56 RobertFx3D 31 0 146 117.854 Running 8 12 55 24skids 31 0 142 98.644 Running 9 4 53 Mark_O_10 31 0 138 117.323 Running 10 8 91 JJinsane 31 0 134 116.061 Running 11 10 8 beertipper 31 0 130 114.154 Running 12 11 44 Wis>OutLaw 10 0 127 111.022 DNF 13 6 51 BdgrOtlw 3 0 124 116.702 DNF <!-- End 1st output --> <!-- Start second output --> Race time - 72:52.030 Average speed - 62.538mph Margin of victory - 1.944sec Caution flags - 7 # of lead changes - 3 Weather - Clear 70^ E 0mph <!-- End second output --> thanks for any help ===== Dan McCullough ------------------------------------------------------------------- "Theres no such thing as a problem unless the servers are on fire!" h: 603.444.9808 w: McCullough Family w: At Work __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
