Jim, When you unload a table that has VarBit data, the text file with the table structure will contain output like the following to describe the data rows in the LOB file:
'RScripterHelp',['IntCmdBin.LOB',CHM,0,97461] 'MSScriptControl',['IntCmdBin.LOB',EXE,97461,209888] 'RScripter.rbl',['IntCmdBin.LOB',RBL,307349,911360] 'TestApplication',['IntCmdBin.LOB',EXE,1218709,898560] 'WndInf13',['IntCmdBin.LOB',EXE,2117269,98304] 'GirlFriendVer1.doc',['IntCmdBin.LOB',DOC,2215573,27136] Note the last one, a Word document and the FileType is "DOC", which by implication is simply the file Extension of the original source file for the data row. ----- Original Message ----- From: "James Bentley" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "RBASE-L Mailing List" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, May 20, 2008 8:25 PM Subject: [RBASE-L] - Re: From The Edge: Programming in R:BASE 7.6 and Turbo V-8 forWindows > Mike, > > I erred in stating my question? > "['filename.ext',filetype,offset,length]" is the syntax. > I know that the column type should be variable binary.
