I am working on a legacy web site run on asp. I need to migrate the data, like user accounts and posts, to php or ruby based web site. I got a data file with file extension of .asa. I don't know how to migrate the data into MySQL. Anyone can help?

We need more details.. what is inside that `.asa` file you mentioned? Where is it located? – Shadow The GPT Wizard Aug 02 '11 at 11:11

1If it turns out that it's a Sybase db you have there, just add the according tag to your post. – Filburt Aug 03 '11 at 07:34

Normally in a classic ASP site, an ASA file is just a configuration file. Are you really sure the data is stored inside that file?
For me to help you I need you to:
- Confirm that the data is stored inside the ASA file
- Determine how the data is structured (semicolon separated, etc etc)

2Not really a configuration file - global.asa is where code for application-wide event handlers (Application_Start or Request_End) is kept. – Filburt Aug 01 '11 at 15:23

you are absolutely right. I somehow confused it with web.config (which isnt classic ASP). – David Aug 02 '11 at 14:15

Thanks. I logged in the backend, and it tells me the database file is mydata.asa. When i open this file(around 19MB), it is wrongly encoded. – Frankel Aug 03 '11 at 04:00

1@Frankel After a little poking around on the web I would guess you're dealing with a [Sybase "Adaptive Server Anywhere" database](http://manuals.sybase.com/onlinebooks/group-sas/awg0800e/dbdaen8). – Filburt Aug 03 '11 at 07:27
