I have a full-client program that interfaces with an off-site system. In the background, it generates a simple delimited text file in a specific location on C drive that appears to update whenever there is a change on the source system.
How can I capture this file and turn it into an input into xcelsius (preferably XML). It’s going to have to be via a data connection as I need it to be dynamic and I need it to refresh as often as the source system changes (or every 3 minutes at minimum).
Not without it costing money! It’s outsourced… Which looks like the option they are going for. It’s doable in-house (not by me!) to write something that monitors the status of the TXT file and creates an XML from it, but it’s not enough of a priority to allocate resources to do it.
