I am a bit lost on how to work with text file.

Scenario: Changing a text file contents into a text file contents that I can work with
Roadblock: Need to understand how to import a "fixed" name textfile into the program.

Current program starts as below:
PARAMETER tcfile
CLEAR
PRIVATE pcdt, pctime1, pctermi, pcinout, pcnoee, pcfile
STORE '' TO pcdt, pctime1, pcnoee
IF PCOUNT() <> 1
WAIT WINDOW TIMEOUT 10 'Source ascii file was not defined! Please define source filename.'
RETURN
ENDIF
IF .NOT. FILE(tcfile)
WAIT WINDOW TIMEOUT 2 'File does not exist or incorrect filename!'
RETURN
ENDIF

As you can see, I have use parameter and I have to name a text file together to get the prg to work. All that is okay, but when compiled to exe, there exist a problem when I run the exe outside of foxpro it does not work.

Can someone let me know how to improve this program so that when outside the foxpro environment I can just run this program with the text file found in the same folder.

Appreciate some assistance here.

Regards,
Christopher
