Neil,

1) If the file isn't huge (less than a couple of megs):

copy to file.txt type csv
x1 = filetostr( "file.txt" )
strtofile( chrtran( x1, ["], [] ), file.txt )

the above code is way nasty with huge strings because VFP is slogging around lots and lots of bytes. You can use aline() and chrtran() each row of the array and use the lowlevel routines to output the lines

2) Use the TEXTMERGE command

COPY TO file.txt TYPE DELIMITED WITH BLANK

writes a file having quotes around each text field, separated by a blank space (Contrary to the Hacker's Guide).

COPY TO file.txt TYPE DELIMITED WITH ~ WITH CHARACTER ,
