Marcel, There is a version of the LOAD syntax just for this purpose:
LOAD tablename FROM filename AS FORMATTED USING + columnname1 startposition stopposition, + columnname2 startposition stopposition, + columnname3 startposition stopposition, + etc. e.g.: =========================== OUTPUT DirRB.$$$ DIR &vFileSpec OUTPUT SCREEN WRITE 'Loading R:Base Table with DIR results ...' LOAD DiskDir FROM DirRB.$$$ + AS FORMATTED USING + FileName 1 8, + FileExt 10 12, + FileBytes 14 23, + FileDate 26 33, + FileTime 36 40, + FileAMPM 41 41 =========================== Bill On Thu, 26 Sep 2002 14:22:42 -0400, Marcel Pinchevsky wrote: >In Rbase DOS, it is possible to import text data as fixed position. This does not appear possible in Windows. Because on imbedded special charachters, I do need to control the import.
