Pretty much I am trying to open a .dbf file using c++, and convert it to some meaningful, readable .txt file.

Do you guys know anyplaces on the net etc that may give me a rundown on how to do this? I've had som epartial success, but for the most part I get jibberish.

Thanks
 
Hi,
I have the internal structure for all versions of Dbase.

Please let me know if you need it so that i can send you
the same as an attachment from my primary mail.

Once you receive it you will have to do the following:
1. Create an #include file with the same.
2. Write a 'C' program to read the file based on the
structure that i provide.
3. Compile the same & enjoy.

Let me know if it could help you.
Please write to me at mailto:ebizpm@yahoo.com
Thanks.
