Gary,

Assuming you want this information as strings

var a = new Array()
var f1 = new File("Gary.txt");
if(f1.exists()) {
f1.open("rt");


while(!f1.eof()) {
ss = f1.readln();
dValue = ss.split(" ");//your data is space delimited
a.unshift(dValue);
}
f1.close();
}


Then, when you refer to a[0][0] you will have (Fri)

a[2][2] would be 11:03am, and so on

I did not run this to ensure it all works perfectly, but it is pretty close, try putting something together and send me a note on the BB if it does not work out. Remember to use plenty of debugPrintln statements to troubleshoot
