ASP & .TXT Files

Hi,
First of all let me start of by saying that I know nothing about ASP or scripting in anyway shape or form, however I want to learn, so please excuse my phrasing.

I am trying to build a search engine with a crawler/spider. I have found the perfect commercial spider but when it saves the indexed pages it saves it into a .txt file. Is it possible to pull the details from the .txt file and have them displayed onto a search results page whilst making the URL's clickable?

If this is not possible does anyone know where I can find a pre built engine for free that is really simple to set up and allows me to confirm the indexed URLs before they go live (the engine is topic related so I need to be strict with the authorised URLS)? I have tried to install phpdig and others but I have just found myself scratching my head because they are aimed at people that have a vast knowladge (or much more than I currently know) in scripting. My hosting allows me to use php,asp,cgi if that helps.

Thanks in advance,
Neal

Both ASP and PHP can certainly access the txt file contents and parse them for display on the browser. A better method would be to parse the txt file and insert the results into a database. This would allow for much faster and more powerful searching, databinding etc. How the output is displayed is down to how you code the output.

Ok so what would you say is the best way to do this? Sorry to seam dumb... but I am lol
