I have a large text file I want to read into Foxpro. The main problem is the file has various length records. I tried reading the whole thing into a table with the fields tabnum c(3), x1 c(254), x2 c(254), x3 c(254) with lengths from 200 to 700 charters. These records later will be divided into other tables. When I issue the command "append from temp.txt sdf" it seems to read the info into the table, but only populates tabnum and x1 and drops the rest of the record. Any ideas?
