use text file as link source

[mcnewsxp]

can i get an example of how to read values from a text file that will be
used as links on my page.
i'll have a .cvs file ala:
LINK ASP_PAGE
"click me1", "clickme1.asp"
"click me2", "clickme2.asp"
"click me3", "clickme3.asp"

i think i can figure out how to do the read, but need to know how to get it
on the page where i need it.

tia,
mcnewsxp

Read with FileSystemObject
repeat:
do a ReadLine
determine that there are no internal apostrophes
scrape off the outer ""
split the result on the '","' to an array
<a href = '<%=a(2)%>'><%=a(1)%></a><br>
etc.
till eof

Positioning is clientside html stuff, please ask in a clientside NG.

ASP code runs only serverside.

If you can change the file's extension from .asp to .htm and still have
the same question, then you don't have an asp question.

Now, you can continue trying to boss us around and risk not getting an
answer to this or any future question you post in this group (yes,
someone might decide to spend his/her time on an offtopic question - you
should consider yourself fortunate if they do).
Or you can take the well-intentioned advice and post your html/css
question to a group where experts in those tecnologies congregate. Here
are some suggestions:
