Would you be able to give an example of the output? (I'm not familiar with Word Perfect)

This is the best help I can give I'm afraid....

http://wp.openoffice.org/filter.html

It converts wpd to another format but in the code is a function to parse the wpd file so I suppose you may be able to "borrow" that code in order to create a wpd formatted file.

Hope that helps.

Thanks Paul,

But this will not serve my purpose,

Just one more question? Do you know how to generate RTF (Rich Text Format) from the CGI scripts.

for example:

My input is $input = "Hello World";

and the script will write a file with .rtf?

Thanks.

Zeshan.
