Converting A dBASE File - Forgetting To Strip |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Solutions: When users bring a file from dBASE into WordPerfect they generally take the file through the convert program so that the merge R (^R) and merge E (^E) codes can be entered in place of the field and record delimiters used in dBASE. When the user went through the convert program they entered the appropriate field and record delimiters (, = field and {13}{10} = record) but she forgot to enter the characters to be stripped ("). Because this step was missed the file was brought into WordPerfect with the " (quote marks) still present. One very easy way to eliminate the quotes would be to run a search and replace on them. If the file has quotes as part of the text the search can include the merge R (the replace would then just have the merge R) so as to not delete needed quotes in the text. |
