I'm sorry to ask such a naive question, but I'm new to this product.
1) I have a flat text file with distinct field markers (pipe delimited fields with newline records)
2) I need to feed the flat text file fields into a web-based application (nothing weird, just alpha-numeric text into browser fields -- a web-based form)
It's really just a plug and chug -- I don't need any logic at all.
So I have three questions:
1) Does the existing macro language allow for basic text file access and line-item parsing (i.e. searching for delimiters)? Or do I need to go straight to the programming API (i.e. the C# routines)?
2) Do web-based applications pose any additional challenges? How does the application know if the web page has refreshed and/or accepted the data? Does the QM script depend on the browser?
... and the most important question:
3) Is there anyone here who would be willing to look at my project in greater detail and do 4/8 hours of consulting and programming? If this first application works, there are several (6+) client applications that I would need to force-feed this flat file into.
Thank you in advance,
Brian
