THE INPUT FILE: A DBase DBF file containing a list of computer experts in
England.
WHAT WE WANT: We will output the file's data in columnar format, with an
appropriate heading at the top of each column. We want the
contact's name, his voice number, and his fax number.
HOW WE DO IT: When in DBF mode, there is no $FLINE. Rather, each record
is pre-parsed into fields. This makes our job very easy.
We do, however, have to check the DELETED field: if it is
set to "Y", the field has been deleted from the database,
although it has not yet been replaced or removed.
We will skip any addresses from "Faster Publishing Ltd",
using the IGNORE command. We will use the TRACE command to
generate a trace file that lets us watch the IGNOREs take
effect.
