How to extract data from *.sta

[kiwirk]

Hi All

I am new bie to this world . I do have an application running under linux which collects all the information about a call center activities in ascii and output it to a xxxxxx.sta file .
I would like to know how to extract this application so that i import this data into a sql database ?

Though i do have a windows based propiertaty application which autoamtically download these files on a daily basis into a windows box and with the same application i can view the content in a text format .

Looking forward to get ideas from this forum

Thanks

Not quite knowing the internals of the programs involved I would use the text output you have and then change that into a format or run a program on it to enable it to be used in an sql database.
