Okay, I'll try to be clearer here. I've stripped out some code but here is the basics of what I have:
$SQL = "SELECT * FROM $database_table order by date DESC, ID DESC limi
+t 10";
$sth = $dbh->prepare($SQL);
$sth->execute;
open(TXTFILE, ">$rootpath$categoryDir$frontPage");
while ($pointer = $sth->fetchrow_hashref) {
$fullpath = $pointer->{'fullfilepath'};
$name = $pointer->{'filename'};
$thumbnail = $pointer->{'thumbnail'};
$image = $pointer->{'image'};
$imagewidth = $pointer->{'imagewidth'};
$headlinelink = $pointer->{'headlinelink'};
print TXTFILE <<TEXT;
<a href=$url NOUNDERLINE id="headline"><font size="+1" face=arial>$tit
+le</font></a><br>
<font size="1">$category - $month $day, $year $catsiteshow</font><br>
TEXT
}
That gives me one text file with 10 headlines formatted how I want it. I'd like to be able insert an ad after the thrid or 4th headline. So I either need a way to print each headline to a separate txt file so that I can include them all in the HTML page manually, or a way to write something into the txt file after the third headline. Make sense?
Thanks.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
