Hi all

I need to do some sort of data mapping
i.e.
in file 1 I have message from other system
in file 2 I have format of this message and names of files and fields where
this information should be stored in my shop (Because format of message can
be changed I would like to separate code from this format)

How to write data to files/fields given as a parameter?
Is there any way except SQL?
Any API?
Any ideas?

Thanks in advice
Marcin
