Hello all,

I have been following the mailing list quite vigorously and have learned
much.  I work with python in Geographic Information Systems.  I poked
around Shri Borde's example of using IronPython to work with Excel.  I
have the need to go through a directory and convert each .dbf file to a
.csv file.  I am thinking this may be a good intro into IronPython to do
this.  However, I am needing to get the solution quickly as this is just
the last part of my code (mostly dealing with geo processing code).
Does anyone have an idea as to how quickly I could get this running.
Otherwise I am thinking to use the win32all module and hopefully that
will be painless for a newcomer like myself.  Is IronPython ready to be
used in this context?  Thanks.

I would go with System.Data.OleDb:

con = System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection("Provider=vfpoledb;Data Source=<path>")

The con is then standard connection object and you use it as it was SQL. The file name without extension is name of the table. If you need info about the structure, just execute command 'select * from table' and then check reader.GetSchemaTable()
