Peter,
The most reliable way would be to utilize XML export.
See the example files in /Applications/FileMaker Pro Advanced/English
Extras/Examples/XML Examples/Export as a starting point.

Can anyone offer advice and direction on exporting data from FM10
(I am thinking in CSV format) and from that output, creating a flat
text file with definite fixed widths for each field. This file is
then used for EDI with other service providers.
Is it possible / feasible doing this in FM itself (unused spaces
would have to be filled with blanks) , or can anybody recommend
software that will do this – I have heard of ‘translator” software?
Many thanks
Peter
