KB>If you know how to create and play a script in Paradox, this will
KB>work for you.
KB>Step 1: use Tools, Import, ASCII, Text, NameOfTextFile, name the
KB>   Table "Temp" Paradox will automatically call the field [Text], 
KB>   and the table will only contain the one field.
KB>Step 2: Modify, Restructure, "Temp" - add 3 new fields type A10, A20,
KB>   N (I called these new fields First, Second, and Third, as
KB>   indicated below in the script)
KB>Step 3: Script, Play, Convert (the name you gave the script below)
KB>THE SCRIPT STARTS HERE:
KB>-----------cut here----------------
KB>EDIT "TEMP"     ; Edit a Table called TEMP
KB>SCAN
KB>;Now, MATCH a field named Text for the following scenaro.
KB>x=MATCH ([Text], "..   ..   ..", a, b, c) ;NOTE the 3 spaces between
KB>..'s 
KB>SWITCH
KB>CASE x : [First]=a
KB>         [Second]=b
KB>         [Third]=NUMVAL(c)
KB>ENDSWITCH
KB>ENDSCAN
KB>DO_IT!
KB>-----------cut here-------------------
KB>I tested this on a text file with the following info, and it worked.
KB>xxxxxxxxxx   yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy   1234.567
KB>zzzzzzzzzz   wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww   888888.88
KB>Hope its answers your problem.
KB>Katie
