NL-filter ASL script to read input from a plain file

Hi,

I have a notification-list in SAM that uses a filter script named for instance nl-test-filter.asl. This filter script is required to read a plain file for processing. Here I a cannot use sm_adapter, coz this filter name will just be mentioned in the Notification-list..

1) Isthere any way, to read the plain file within the ASL script ( nl-test-filter.asl)

2) Or, write another ASL script ( nl-test2- filter.asl) that I would mention in the notification list filter criteria, that would pass file1.txt and call nl-test-filter.asl to execute it.

Please help me in this..
