MH>I have downloaded a file as an ASCII Text file.
MH>The file contains the following information.  Part No (10 ch) 3 spaces
MH>Part Description (20 chars max) 3 spaces, and finally dollar value
MH>(6char with 3 dec.)
MH>What I am trying to do, is move the information into a table so that I
MH>can manipulate the information.  Is there a way (Pdox 4.5), that I can
MH>break that information down?
Michael:
What you need is a very simple utility called FLIMPORT, designed to
import fixed-length ASCII files into a Pdox table.
If FLIMPORT.EXE did not ship on your original install disks, try
downloading it from the Borland BBS, CompuServe, or the PIBB.
