Hi! Can anyone tell me how can I insert an information from a text file to a PostgreSQL database when the text file is continously being updated with a new information. Alternatively if I have a freebsd program which continously echoes to the console screen some information, how can I insert that information to the database and to correct columns, using some regular expressions method. The information is like the following...
