Need Select Query

Hi to all
I Need a sql Qery for Text files.
Fist I want to know will it be possible to select the All Filelds fromText file...?
I just thoght of like
Select * from MyTextFile.Txt
Please Help me.to my knowledge there isn't a way to do this via Transact SQL. If you have access to the xp_cmdshell stored procedure yo umight try something like:

Code:
------------------------------
master.dbo.xp_cmdshell 'type MyTextFile.Txt'
------------------------------

Of course you will need to fully qualify the path to the text file as SQL server would assume (based on the above) that MyTextFile.Txt is on drive C: of your SQL server.|||I just tried like this
master.dbo.xp_cmdshell 'type C:\Sample.Txt'

I got the message as follows

outpur
The system cannot find the file specified.
NULL

(2 row(s) affected)|||again, xp_cmdshell will look on your sql server for the file NOT your local PC. Try this and see what you get:

code:
------------------------------
master.dbo.xp_cmdshell 'dir'
master.dbo.xp_cmdshell 'type c:\boot.ini'
------------------------------|||Thanks a lot
It is workig fine..
