I want to have an online form that I can update content with on my site, but I need to use text files.

It needs to be compatible with a UNIX server.

If you can give me some URLs to lead me in the right direction would be great!

If you need more explaination let me know.

Hi, welcome to Webmaster World.

I've asked that your question be moved to the ASP/Microsoft forum where more ASP people will see it.

ASP supports the "FileSystemObject" which allows you to create files on the fly, including text files.

However, you indicated that you are on a UNIX server. Are you sure you are running ASP? Most ASP apps are on Windows platforms.

I recommend taking a look at www.w3schools.com for detailed information on ASP and the FSO.
