Is this doable with Multimedia Fusion?

[Sergio]

Greetings, I hope this is the right board to ask this, and I apologize for the somewhat broad subject title.

Basically, I want to make a program that can do the following: Get text from an excel file or a tab delimited txt file, and fill out a webform with the text.

Can this be done somewhat easily with MMF? I'd like to know before I invest time/money into it. Thank you!

>Get text from an excel file or a tab delimited txt file,

Yes, you can read the data using many extensions, then use string parser to get certain information out.

>fill out a webform with the text.

You can use the many objects that are meant to interface with the web (such as Live Receiver, you would append variables to the end of the url and then GET that link). For filling out forms and stuff on the web, you would need to POST/GET the data.

It's worth noting that MMF isn't designed to do data processing like that. While it is possible, it isn't MMF's forte.

There is also a demo, which will let you see a lot of what MMF does do.

Thanks for the replies. I actually used MMF 1.5 some way back in the day. I just didn't really do much with it, so I wasn't sure if what I want to do is possible.

Could you guys suggest some extensions? Thanks.
