[Question] Am I over my head with this Project?

Hello again,

Without giving away any information I would like to say thank for this community. Every one of you helped me learn and conquer fear of the shell.

Here’s my situation.. my project consists of 3 parts; the front end gui, information storage, and information gathering.

I am building a system which consist of those three parts, here’s my example:

1) Survey – giving a set of questions(2-3 questions) and out putting them (right now I am thinking of doing just regular .txt output)

2) Storing – The txt data will be outputted to a fileshare which is fairly easy to do…

3) here’s the hardest part: Gathering the information. What I invision this system is having another front end gui which I can see their name and I can view their data in some sort of listview(?). Once their name is selected, i can then manipulate the data the way I want them. What would be the easiest way to grab their info that is located in the fileshare? My main concern is I want it to be as realtime as possible…

Am I over my head on this one? If you need more photos and information please do not hesitate on asking. Thank you
