I totally agree with Gene. xBase was originally developed for interactive use, and those commands are just perfect for hacking around in real live data. No clumpsy and verbose SQL statements, just USE your data and massage it as you want.
I often also do some ON KEY LABEL xx REPLACE / STUFF / STRTRAN and visually skip through a BROWSE and if I find a culprit I then just press my F-Key for some magic... Believe me, xBase commands are even better than sliced bread! <g> wOOdy -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: ProFox <[email protected]> Im Auftrag von Koen Piller Gesendet: Mittwoch, 15.
