txt file creation

[rgw]

I normally use Monarch for writing and reading txt files which go back and forth to the bank. I would like to reduce the use of extrnal programs and have VFP do it--with the low level file functions. I'm having trouble re-creating the tips on the subject in the forum. Wonder if anyone could give me the code to say take a 5 record dbf and turn it into a 5 line txt using the low-level functions.
Many thanks.

[tt]use mytable
nHandle=fcreate("myoutfile.txt&quot
scan
fputs(nHandle, MyCharColumn + str(MyNumColumn))
endscan
fclose(nHandle)
use in mytable [/tt] Robert Bradley

I'm thinking:

USE MyTable
COPY TO MyOutFile.Txt SDF
USE IN MyTable

or

USE MyTable
SCAN
STRTOFILE(MyCharCol+STR(MyNumCol),"MyOutFile.txt",.T.)
ENDSCAN
USE IN MyTable Jon Hawkins
