[pmwiki-users] FOX-question: reading / writing plain text files ?

[Knut Alboldt]

perfect !

Thanks a lot for your prompt answers. I just needed a few ideas and 
you've shown be some. I think from here I can start to get my things done.

I do know that pmwiki is very flexible, but every time I've to find out 
that it's even more ! (Thanks Pm !) But this also requires some deep 
knowledge of pmwiki.

I'll put this in a new recipe when it's ready, I'd like to put your 
answers on that recipe-page as well, if this is ok.

thanks a lot !

Knut
