beginner needs help

[stargate03]

Hi there

I have a MYSQL database which has the following table


CREATE TABLE `#__content` (
`id` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
`title` varchar(100) NOT NULL default '',
`title_alias` varchar(100) NOT NULL default '',
`introtext` mediumtext NOT NULL,
`fulltext` mediumtext NOT NULL,
`state` tinyint(3) NOT NULL default '0',
`sectionid` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
`mask` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
`catid` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
`created` datetime NOT NULL default '0000-00-00 00:00:00',
`created_by` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
`created_by_ali as` varchar(100) NOT NULL default '',
`modified` datetime NOT NULL default '0000-00-00 00:00:00',
`modified_by` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
`checked_out` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
`checked_out_ti me` datetime NOT NULL default '0000-00-00 00:00:00',
`publish_up` datetime NOT NULL default '0000-00-00 00:00:00',
`publish_down` datetime NOT NULL default '0000-00-00 00:00:00',
`images` text NOT NULL,
`urls` text NOT NULL,
`attribs` text NOT NULL,
`version` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL default '1',
`parentid` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
`ordering` int(11) NOT NULL default '0',
`metakey` text NOT NULL,
`metadesc` text NOT NULL,
`access` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
`hits` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
KEY `idx_section` (`sectionid`),
KEY `idx_access` (`access`),
KEY `idx_checkout` (`checked_out`) ,
KEY `idx_state` (`state`),
KEY `idx_catid` (`catid`),
KEY `idx_mask` (`mask`)
) TYPE=MyISAM;



What i need to do is insert certain data from a text file in the format

#TITLE#Importan t Checklist For Starting A Business#/TITLE#
some text is here
#BREAK#
#TITLE#Building An Online Business Is Like Starting A Garden, You First Must Plant Your Seeds#/TITLE#
another lot of text here
#BREAK#


into the title, introtext (first 300 chracters of "some text is here etc") and fulltext (rest of "some text is here etc") fields, also the id field needs to increment


could someone write a script etc of what needs to happen, or is there some software that makes it easier, as i am just a beginner

many thanks

You may be a beginner, but that does not relieve you from reading the Posting Guidelines at the top of this forum before you start a thread and comply with some simple rules laid down in there!!

Especially the part of enclosing shown code within php, code or html tags.

This is not a coding factory where you can get code-made-to-measure. Try to start coding yourself. Then we can all have alook at it and help you further. But you have to start coding yourself.
