Hi, still working on my ascii file.
Thanks to the RRTFtoTXT plugin, i can read the contents of any varchar, varbit, note into a text variable and read into my ascii file. BUT : 2 problems still remain. 1. the length of one line of the text may not exceed 80 chars. So I have to chop down the text variable and write every block of 80 chars into another line. 2. for some of the inserted lines I have to put a ']' char on position 1 of that line. I wouldn't want to presume of the help of this forum, but I am on a tight time schedule here. So again, any help would be welcome. Luc D. PS : the end of my problems is coming in sight.....the next one being the connection with Efilm. So, Mike, if you should have forgotten about me....I'm still hoping for your .DLL...
