I understand. If I open the Probe.db to edit in Midnight Comander, then I find there one line only, which begin like: SQLite format 3^@^P^@^A^A^@@ ^@^@^@^B^@^@^@^C^@^@^@^ ... etc... So it is definitely a database file and not a text file. For newbies like me it should be mentioned this at https://www.sqlite.org/quickstart.html bellow the 'Create A New Database' title, and below the line: Enter SQL commands at the prompt to create and populate the new database. like: When one finished entering SQL commands and used the ".quit" command to exit the shell tool, then there will be not a text, but a database file which can then be used on various devices, like smart phones, etc. No? -- Best, Pali _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@mailinglists.sqlite.org http://mailinglists.sqlite.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
