At the dot-prompt of dBase 3plus, I am trying to append from a txt file containing fields delimited by '|'. The command> append from <txt filename> type sdf delimited with '|' does not work. It appends but leaves the pipes in the data. Leaving the "type sdf" out gives same results. My empty dbf is defined with fields that match the delimited txtfile data. I know I've done this before with comma-delimited files, etc, but... I'd appreciate any suggestions. Thanks!
