Ohhh!! I don't want the script, since you say it's fairly simple I hope I can learn to make my own....just some guidance?
From the link that VI provided, here's the layout, but I don't know what is what?
Code:
"01","35004","AL","ACMAR",86.51557,33.584132,6055,0.001499
There's 8 columns, I'll try to guess what they are:
#1 = 01 --> not a clue? But it doesn't look all that important.
#2 = 35004 --> ZIP code
#3 = AL --> This is the state.
#4 = ACMAR --> This is the town
#5 = 86.51557 --> nope, don't know.
#6 = 33.584132 --> nope, don't know.
#7 = 6055 --> nope, don't know.
#8 = 0.001499 --> nope, don't know.
