copy mytext.txt deli with "" with char |
>Hi
>I have a table with say Joe Bloggs, Boston,USA (3 fields)
>I want to export as follows:
>Joe Bloggs|Boston|USA (i.e. without blanks and a '|' as the delimiter..but cant seem to do exactly that
>
>If I try
>Copy to MyText Delimited with ' ' with Character '|' (Space between the 2 single quotes)
> It adds a Space before and after each field Joe Bloggs | Boston | USA |
>
>Copy to MyText Delimited with '' with Character '|' (Nothing between the 2 single quotes)
> It adds single quotes before and after each field 'Joe Bloggs'|'Boston'|'USA'|
>
>Copy to MyText with Character '|'
>....Gives a syntax error
