i am creating a dbf file with record length 700 ch
i then create a string of alpha numeric data with variable length always ending in 9999. i write to this file.when done i copy file to .txt. each record after 9999 is filled with blank to 700
i need to remove these blanks.if i go to any record and go to end of record it must stop at 9999
i am using clipper 5.3
my problem is when i copy the dbf file to txt/csv file
and edit the txt/csv file, each record does not end at 9999 which could be record length 545 but end at 700 end of record. the dbf file is 700 r/length.alternate is how to write a variable field to a text file without writing to a dbf file
