Hi Jorge,

I'm a little confused. Do you want to KEEP the spaces when you append (ie, your table field is 25 long and you want the LEFT(25) of the text), or do you want to IGNORE the spaces (ie, ALLTRIM() the text)?

In either case, APPEND FROM ... DELIMITED probably won't work in this situation. There are several options, depending on your answer to the above.
