Reading TXT database In ASP

<i><b>Originally posted by : stacey (stacey.arnold@bakerhughes.com)</b></i><br />I have created a form that post two fields(date and message) to a TXT file database using commas as the seperator. I now need help reading the Dta into my asp page. I would like to use a If then To check and compare the date filed with the server date. If they match the the default header and the message will be displayed if the date matches. If the date does not match the It will leave a message "no new messages". If someone could help <br />
