|    Pdox DOS import problem    |
|    06 Mar 08 15:45:18    |
      From: dishborealis@yahoo.com              I've got a txt file with fields delimited by commas. One field contains       product descriptions, and many have words enclosed in quotation marks. When       using Tools, Import, Ascii, Delimited, Pdox has problems with records       containing those quotation mark-affected words. So, the import never       proceeds. I could do a search-replace on the txt file and remove all the       quotation marks, but that presents another problem: Some descriptions also       contain stuff like              paper plates 10"              ...where that 10 inch designation is important, so I don't want to remove       ALL quotation marks.              How do I tell Pdox to ignore quotation marks completely during the import,       and focus only on the commas? I seem to recall a way of adjusting import       parameters, but it's been too long since I did this. I see nothing in the       menus.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
