Application for serial data capture.

[RubioMartin]

Hey guys,

I'm currently working on a project, for wich I need an application to continually capture data recieved through serial port and export it to a database in MySql. Eventually, it would also be nice if the app could also periodically create txt logs of the information recieved. Does anybody knows some free app i could use to do this? If i have to code it myself, wich tool would you suggest (perl, python, visual basic, etc.)?

Thanks in advance!

If I were the one to implement it, I would choose C#/VB.NET along with OLE DB Provider as in .NET it is very easy to invoke any OLE DB Provider to put data into data store. Of cause it is not difficult to capture serial port data either with .NET.
If you have any further questions, feel free to let me know.
