Are you using VFP7?
If so, have you tried:
COPY TO newfile.txt DELIMITED WITH "" WITH CHARACTER ','
>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)
