treadhead,
Here's the programming code that will do it:
1 - find the correct record in the database by using a SEEK command.
2 - store the memo field into a variable: cText := DATA->MEMO (use the appropriate database name and memo field name)
3 - save the text information to a text file...
Hello everyone,
I am a programmer, but have yet to learn C or C++. I deal with btrieve files in our company and need to know if C can read/write btrieve files. I currently use Clipper and Rasql/B to read/write to btrieve without having to jump throught a lot of hoops. Is C fairly easy to use...
kmccabe,
No, I don't have that function, and for your information, I inquired in the Winamp news group and was informed that Winamp is and has always been written in C.
I also use the fread() function in my program to open .mp3 files to determin their playing length, title, artist, album...
dhenin,
It sounds like you are looking for a way to limit a specific user to run the program only one session at a time, but also allow other users to run it - one session at a time - for each user.
If that's the case, the best way is to do this was suggested by gs001 with a little change...
Socrateshomer,
What type of client server software are you using? On a Novell network, Pervasive (btrieve) works very nicely.
I have experienced problems with Win98 and clipper loading the Netware client software, but If I use Microsoft's Client for Netware it works just fine. If possible...
Poetandi,
There is an easy to accomplish what you want by:
1 - From your Clipper program create a batch file ( fcreate() and fwrite() ) with all the commands and parameters you need then save the file ( fclose() ).
2 - From your clipper program, just RUN the batch file.
I do this all the...
You could also use FiveWin - a library you link in with Clipper which makes it a Windows program. You still program all your stuff in clipper, but use additional FiveWin function calls to create windows and dialog boxes. It works quite nicely.

I don't believe Clipper can access Microsoft Access files, but if you were to re-compile your clipper program with xbase++, it has direct access to open, read, write Microsoft Access files.
This may not be the solution you were looking for, but it might help if nothing else will work.

I know how the Directory() function works, but is there any other function similar to it that will generate an array or list of EVERY file of a certain file type on a drive letter no matter what directory or sub-directory it is in? What I am looking for is something that will produce an array...
Hey, that works quite nicely, except for one thing. When using the
If File(<cFilename>)
function, it ALWAYS returns false, even if the file exists. Other than that, it works very well opening files with fopen() (which is what I needed to do). I have not tried to open a DBF file with a long...
Hello everyone.
I have Clipper 5.3 and have noticed when I read my directory structure I see my files in a DOS 8.3 file format. Does anyone out there know if there is any libraries or functions that will let Clipper read the full long file names?
Thanks in advance,
Kelly
For many years I have used Clipper with the Btrieve RDD RASQLB. It has worked very well for me. I would like to know if it is possible to use the RasqlB RDD with Alaska, and if it works as well with Alaska as it does with Clipper.
Thanks for all your help!
