Hello Everyone,

I would like to pull certain data from one data file and print it to another file ( for back up purposes.)

The first data file is setup like this:
order.db
ID|name|address|company|email
For example i would like to grab the info name and email from order.db and print it to email.db

Any Ideas?

Thanks Wazza
