exported .dat file to csv file..changed info now need import back

[mkcreations]

Hi..I exported our Customer.dat file into a comma deliminated txt file. Sent it out to have it cleaned..duplicates removed etc. Now I need to be able to replace the existing Customer.dat file with the cleaned .txt file. How can I convert the information back into a .dat file.
I have version 7.

All help will be greatly appreciated.

The way we can do is U have to write a program to do so. U can write a program in C++ or VB , read the file .txt line by line store the record in the variables in a structure and the use the brtieve API function BTRV with the commant to insert. If U have the programing manual or help on Btrieve U will get the sample code to do that. U may directly import an XLS file too into btrieve. Make a database in Pervasive/Btrieve and create a table. Use the import feature to import a comma seperated file in to the table. Then U can export the file i.e the table to the dat file
try this it may help U

Jitendar

Thank you so much for your response . But I would have no idea where to start. I am not a programmer. Thanks anyhow though.
