hi folks

I'm trying to decide / discover the best approach to reading in *and rendering as HTML* bulk SYLK files (a format that Excel and other databases can export).

Please could someone tell me where to start?

Should I read the whole file in, then do something with Regex? (If so, is Regex the easiest way?)

What I'm looking to do is set up a group of generalized "behaviours" for arbitrarily marked-up text. ie: if the file is Quark XPress tags, use these rules, if the file is SYLK, use those rules, etc.,

Thanks!
