Hi All

I need help with a script. I want to:

1. open a text file. (Is simple text scriptable?)
2. search for a word "Data" always the first word of a line.
3. if found count number of pipes "|" in that line.
4. pass the count to the script.

Then I want to use the counter as part of the filename to open the file in quark. I am having problem with the first four steps. Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
Ruby
