Question

I need to convert a text file as dbf file working in foxpro 2.5
Also dbf file into text file
is there a web site which can give all the file commands for foxpro2.5

Answer 1

first u have to know the structure of ur text file. then u create a dbf with the same structure and give the following command
appe from sdf

eg.

u have a text file like this
a0001 mohini no25 5th cross bangalore
a0002 mandakini no35 6th cross bangalore

now u open this text file in foxpro (modi comm
then go to preferences and select status line

now u can find the column positions of each field

now create a blank dbf as the same structure

then

use
appe from type sdf

alternately u can open the text file in excel and save it as dbf

to convert dbf file to a text file

use
copy to type sdf
