-
- I convert files from foxpro to WordPerfect 5.1 with the following commands:
-
- copy field [field names] to [ascii file name] delimited
- run convert [ascii file name] [WP Merge file name] 9 , {13}{10} {34}{44}
-
- The {13}{10} represents the Hard Return at the end of each record in the ASCII
- delimited file. The {34}{44} represents the " to be stripped from the delimited
- text file.
-
- I hope this helps.
