You can use APPEND FROM ... TYPE SDF to import undelimited files. If that won't work for you you can use low-level file functions. Take a look at FOPEN(), FGETS(), and FCLOSE().

>Is there a way to pass the parameters to the VFP 5.0a Import Wizard through a statement or program? I have 75 or more text files, no delimiters, with 41 lines each. Using the wizard I can import the file to a one column table. I then parse out the info I don't need, populate an array and append the data. The APPEND command does not allow for non delimited text files. I would like to automate this process so our student intern can do it without having to run the wizard process, i.e. pass the file name and hit the return button.
