searching txt file

Hey everyone, and Happy New Year.

Is there a way, using asp sript, or maybe something else...

to take a 32 digit number submitted by a form, and search through a txt file
that resides on the server.
I want to be able to take someone's guid , and run it through a background
check (the txt file), and let that user know within seconds if it is clean
or not.

or let me know if i need to post in another forum.

I would enter the data from the txt file into a db, but it gets updated
everyday, and right now there are over 60,000 on the ban list (on the txt
file)

any advise?

Re: searching txt file

write a function to import the txt file into the database..
