I am using VFP6.0 and have a customer that needs to have some data re-manipulated and exported out in
an ASCII, comma delimited format.

The file to import is a "text" print to file of a report from another application. I need to read in the lines,
remove the headers and captions, break the data locations (position delimited) into seperate data fields,
compare data to a specific "table" of records to "clean up" telephone #s, then write a ascii delimited, text
based, 1 record per row, with a few of the fields imported in.

I believe VFP can do all this but am having trouble finding information on how to import the file lines,
manipulate the lines (remove data, combine lines), and create the exported file.

Suggestions?

Thanks
