TRW v1.10 by John Leschak Registration $ 20.00
WORD JUN91 LESCHAK TEXT REPORT WRITER ASCII DELIMITED
FILES: trw110.sdn
New Release
The Text Report Writer v1.10 allows you to create custom
reports and conversions if delimited, BASIC, and fixed length
ASCII text files. This utility is completely dependent on DOS
redirection and pipe commands and offers no user interface.
The utility will more than likely be most valuable to those
who work often with text files and text file reformatting,
for which this program is most flexible. Also included is a
simple program which generates report definition files very
easily with a good (not great) user interface. Although it is
very thourough, it still requires the user have a good
knowledge about the fields specifications.
General features are: Header supression, field seperation,
unlimited number of fields and filters, reports up to 255
character wide, user-defined delimiters, group sub-totals,
grand total, supports string and numeric fields, allows for
user-defined numeric masks, left or right justification,
constant fields, and many more features.
Usage of the utility consists of creating a report definition
file which sets report options (page length, file format,
delimiter, etc.), mapping of input to output fields, and
selection criteria (filters). Using redirection and pipes,
pipe the input file into the program and redirect its output
wherever you like (whether it PRN, MORE, or a file) or not.
These report definition files can be easily created with the
included DefMaker utility.
