Hi there:
I was so proud of myself, writing my first Java utility which reads a text file of payments using a jdb table format so that the user can delete "records" (lines of the file) easily and readily and then save the amanded file.
However..the original csv file, when saved (even if not amended) has squares instead of a carriage return at the line end; rendering it unusable in the BACS software .
Does anybody know how to either get rid of the squares and/or save the file in a different, non squared format.
the utility is a virtually straight plunder of the examples in the Borland database application developers guide, which is particularily evasive about exactly how to save the file as something new and maintain the proerties of the original file.
Thanks!
