Hello Foxperts;

I'm in the process of converting an old dB5 system to VFP7.
The old system had a series of .PRG files that were related to data records by a four digit number embedded in the file name. (i.e.- text from a .PRG file was printed in a report based on a numeric field; the information was contained between TEXT ... ENDTEXT commands.

I would appreciate some direction in how to I might open the files and scan/extract the only information from between TEXT ... ENDTEXT commands. I've already figured out the REPLACE ... ADDITIVE command to put the text (a varying number of lines) into a memo field.

Do I make a temp .dbf with one field: C(200), then SCAN ... ENDSCAN, look for lines beginning with TEXT or ENDTEXT? - or is there a niftier solution?

TIA
