- I have an ASCII text file that contains one field from a database per line.
- As there are 20 fields in each record, there are 20 lines in the file for
- each record. I want to load this text file into a FoxPro database with
- the same number of fields (20) per record.
-
- How can I read this text file into a FoxPro database ? I tried using the
- APPEND FROM command but FoxPro loaded each line of the text file as a
- separate record. I need FoxPro to place each of the 20 lines into the
- corresponding database record field. Any pointers are much appreciated !!
