Hi, Here's a patch to read correctly dbase III files. I seem not to have any III+ files around to test it, but it should be ok in that case too.
The idea is that instead of skipping the \r char (and eventually, the
null character after it) after the header to get to the data, we can
seek straight to the data using the information for header length:
(wrapped)
--- dbview-1.0.3/db_dump.c
+++ dbview-1.0.3/db_dump.c
@@ -268,7 +268,7 @@
}
stack_field(fld);
}
- fseek(dbfile, 1, SEEK_CUR); /* read the silly little \r 0x0d
character */
+ fseek(dbfile, dbhead.header, SEEK_SET); /* seek to the data
records start */
return;
}
Thanks for considering,
dam
