Thanks a bunch! I understand now.
Also, I want to add a check-point to this: to avoid updating the database while the input-text-file is being updated or if the file is corrupt (or does not exit). Is it advisable to check by file size, since the updated file will be larger than the old file? If yes, how can I accomplish this?
Thanks!
