haven't looked at Dabo, but doesn't Python mean web based apps? Can it do desktop? Laurie On 10 September 2016 at 22:45, Darren wrote: > V1.02 was first for me. Been with it ever since. > > -Original Message- > From: ProfoxTech

Re: Processing a long character string one character at a time

To split a string into words you can use something like this: n = GETWORDCOUNT(mysring) FOR i = 1 TO n ? GETWORDNUM(mystring,i) && do something with the word ENDFOR Laurie On 10 September 2016 at 16:02, Stephen Russell wrote: > Is there a split function in VFP to

Re: M$ giving more support to dbf?

True, but change is painful or at least it seems like it would be painful. I, like some others on this list started with Fox back in the 1980's and like some others on this list, I hope god will deliver a miracle and save us. I haven't prayed yet. Maybe that would help? Note that VFP9 SP2

Re: Processing a long character string one character at a time

Is there a split function in VFP to take every word of the string into an array? Then you could parse each array element till done. C# example here. string s = FromYourTextfile; // Split string on spaces. // ... This will separate all the words. string[] words =

Re: Processing a long character string one character at a time

It could be a fgets moment, or a strtofile(). The problem is that Fox has at least three *different* solutions to string handling, depending on whether it's FPD, VFP-old or VFP-newer, and mixing them is asking for trouble. Disk I/O pretty much doesn't matter any more, as everything ends up

Re: Processing a long character string one character at a time

Hi, Joe: Sorry, but my weekend is pretty full, so I can't answer as thoroughly as I'd like to. String functions in VFP are blazingly fast, but have to be used correctly in ways that aren't always obvious. CSV with carriage returns inside fields is not CSV, in my not-so-humble opinion. ALL DBMSes

You can always write your own routine to do the job instead of relying on APPEND FROM! I sometimes needed to do that... On Sat, Sep 10, 2016 at 2:25 PM, Joe Yoder wrote: > When one imports a .CSV file with carriage returns embedded in a field that > is delimited by quotation

RE: Processing a long character string one character at a time

Just done some rough code to check out a 200,000 byte string (too painful waiting for 2M byte string to process) Sample below shows huge benefit in the file approach. The only thing I can think of right now to improve it further would be to do it in C++ or similar where you can easily treat

Importing a CSV with carriage returns embedded in fields

When one imports a .CSV file with carriage returns embedded in a field that is delimited by quotation marks, Foxpro ignores the quotation marks and assumes any carriage returns it finds indicate the end of a record. The file I am working with ends up with several hundred extra (garbled) records
