Reading and writing data to and from multiple files
Hi,
I have several text files. One main file contains the detail data, other have some information to extract data from the main file, and some are empty files. Examples are shown below:
The main file look like:
MainFile.txt
HTML Code:
>Header1
data1...data1...
>Header2
data2...data2...
...
...
>Header100
data100...data100...
etc.
And the other file looks like:
OtherFile1.txt
OtherFile2.txt
OtherFile3.txt
HTML Code:
[Blank File. no data]
Some of the OtherFiles contain a '>Header', which refer to the '>Header' and it's associated data in the 'MainFile'. For each of this file I want to extract the associated data from the 'MainFile'. Example Output:
OtherFile1.txt
HTML Code:
>Header1
data1...data1...
data1..data1...
OtherFile9.txt
HTML Code:
>Header9
data9...data9...
Thanks for any help or suggestions.

pdbtxt2html
pdbtxt2html(1) General Commands Manual pdbtxt2html(1)
NAME
pdbtxt2html - Doc Text to HTML converter for Palm Pilots
SYNOPSIS
pdbtxt2html [ -t ] file.txt [ file.html ]
pdbtxt2html -v
DESCRIPTION
pdbtxt2html converts text converted from a Doc(4) file via txt2pdbdoc(1) to HTML. If no HTML filename is given, the generated HTML is sent
to standard output.
Document Title
The first line of the file is used for the HTML document title.
Bookmarks
The last line of the file is examined and, if it contains a string enclosed between < and >, that is taken to be the bookmark marker. The
entire file is then scanned looking for lines beginning with it (ignoring leading whitespace). These lines are converted to HTML headings.
The number of whitespace characters after the first bookmark marker is used for heading level 1. The level of subsequent headings is set
to the number of whitespace characters between the bookmark marker and the bookmark text minus the number for the first bookmark plus one.
Embedded URLs
Valid URLs (according to RFC 1630) embedded in the text are turned into hyperlinks. The ftp, gopher, http, https, mailto, news, telnet,
and wais URLs are recognized.
OPTIONS
-t Compile a table of contents and insert it between the first heading and the body.
-v Print the version number to standard output and exit.
EXAMPLE
To convert a Doc file to HTML:
txt2pdbdoc alice.pdb alice.txt
pdbtxt2html alice.txt alice.html
