I am a PHP programmer. I have no .Net coding experience (last seen it 4 years ago). Not interested in code-behind model since this is a quick
temporary hack.
What I am trying to do is generate an output.txt file whenever the user submits new data. So an output.txt file if exists should be replaced with the new one.
I want to write data in this format :
123|Java Programmer|2010-01-01|2010-02-03
124|VB Programmer|2010-01-01|2010-02-03
125|.Net Programmer|2010-01-01|2010-02-03
I don't know VB, so not sure about string manipulations. Hope a kind soul can help me with this. I will be grateful to you. Thank you :)
