txt >> mysql
 

I have saved a bunch of plain text files of information about an OS that is like a "help file" and I was curious about whether or not I could dump these plain txt file into a mysql database with some sort of commands to strip unallowed spaces and stuff and organize it in a searchable fashon? Maybe a script or something? Anyone have any ideas about this?

Have you taken a look at the mysqlimport program that comes with MySQL?

Thanks, I actually did not know it existed. That is exactly what I need. I will study it and see if it does everything I am wanting like tbl_names etc.
