I have a dbf of about 80,000 500-byte records that needs to be written out to an ASCII text file for upload to another system. They want it comma delimited WITHOUT the quotes on text fields. When I do the COPY TO DELIMITED, I get the quotes around the fields.

I have tried the strtofile function below which works on smaller files but on one this large, I get an out of memory error.

Is there some way to parse the file and do it a little at a time? Or is there a better way to get an ASCII file.

Thanks for any help you can give me.....here's what I tried:

llReturn=strtofile(strtran(filetostr(lctempfilename),["],''),lcnewFileName)
