I want to read our tips and only show one per month. I was hoping to find a script that would read a file in Jan and a differant one in Feb. That way I could right all of my tips at the beginning of the year and the page would automatically update. Does any one know of a place to get such a script?

I need the script too. Thanks!

I doubt that you'll be able to find a pre-written script, but it's fairly easy to write it. What language do you work with, php, asp, perl?

in php, the code would look something like this: if(date("n")==1){ $fp=fopen("jan.tip", "r"); print fread($fp, filesize("jan.tip")); fclose($fp); }else if(date("n")==2){ $fp=fopen("feb.tip", "r"); print fread($fp, filesize("feb.tip")); fclose($fp); }else if(date("n")==3){ $fp=fopen("mar.tip", "r"); print fread($fp, filesize("mar.tip")); fclose($fp); }else .... -jake

If the “tips” files are named properly, either by month number or name, you can easily with only a couple lines open, read, and print the current month's tips file. #!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use POSIX; # abbreviated month name e.g. Nov my $month = strftime("%m", localtime); # month as a decimal number #my $month = strftime("%b", localtime); open (TIPS, $month) or die $!; while (<TIPS>) { print; } close TIPS;
