bot to convert the flat
file to wiki should be fairly easy (less than 30
lines of code) and should be the easiest way of doing it

Jan and the list,
Just to let folks know the Wiki is private, behind a few firewalls and no
other person has write access except for me. So this is completely private
and is not accessible on the INternet. I have the capability of storing the
file in a Database if that makes life easier. Currently it is kept on my
legacy system in a flat ascii file.

John, I don't know of a simple way to do that without writing some "glue"
code.
However, I am using the SQL2Wiki extension (heavily modified) to maintain
data in MySQL (using MyPhpAdmin) and display it in MediaWiki.
Due to the possibility of SQL injection, I do not recommend this for open
wikis. I only have trusted users, plus I protect pages with SQL on them,
and restrict permissions to SELECT only on the user role that has access
from MediaWiki.
Although I don't use it, it is possible to automagically go MySQL <-->
Excel using Connector/ODBC.
Here's links to tons of example output:

You can get SQL2Wiki from the MediaWiki extensions, or I can send you my
heavily modified version, which I think is much better. :-)

If there is a script that can do this can I get a pointer to it? I have
been searching and haven't found anything.
TIA
