I have a static flat-file database that I need to use in a look-up function. The file looks like this:
380501-381000,160,06,1,11,500,1902
381001-381500,170,06,1,15,500,1902
381501-382500,330,18,1,15,1000,1902
382501-383000,160,06,1,11,500,1903
383001-383500,170,06,1,15,500,1903
383501-384000,302,18,1,15,500,1903
384001-384500,160,06,1,11,500,1903
384501-384900,291,16,1,17,400,1903
384901-385200,281,16,1,15,300,1903
385201-385500,291,16,1,17,300,1903
and it runs up to 1.3 million, all the same format. So all I want is a page with a input box and a search button. A person inputs a number in and the line that number is in is shown in a search result and some of the other information that is taken from the same text line. How long should something like that take to program? I used to code in XBase and a program like that would take about 45 minutes. Any thoughts? Does anyone know how to do this as a web application?
