I want write an application to read users from file SMSUsers.D2A in order to insert them into a database. The problem is I can't understand the format of this file. I see the users and their passwords, but i can't understand the format they are written with to make a regular expression to read them.

Is there a known format for that, or there is a better way to read users? Or it is just can't be done?

Hi,

That file format is subject to change, so I would not recommend making direct edits to the file. (For the upcoming full release of NowSMS 2007, we have changed the file format for "MMSC Users", but not yet "SMS Users" ... although we do plan to change it in the relatively near future.)

We recommend using HTTP based provisioning requests for programmatic update of the "SMS Users" file.

These provisioning request formats are defined here: http://www.nowsms.com/support/bulletins/tb-nowsms-013.htm
