Okay, so if I remove the carriage returns before importing the data
using xlate I'm assuming it would all just wind up as a continuous line
of data. If that's right, is there any way of importing the data
retaining the spacing between the data so it'll be there when exported.
Although I've already had issues with the data not exporting after the
first carriage return last time I tried it.

When I use the import command I set the name to "rec": import ascii rec=/home/chris/list.csv r=\n f=,
Then to remove the carriage return I use: rc=xlate(rec(14),chr("13"),"")
The number 14 inside rec(14) is the number of the field you are importing. If every field has a carriage return in them you will need to use xlate for every field, rec(1), rec(2), and so on for the number of fields you are importing per record. On Linux when I'm importing a CSV file from Windows I just need to run the xlate command on the last field I'm importing.

Subject: Importing/exporting data with carriage returns (I Think)
win-server 2008 r2/filepro 5.0.09dn9
Can someone tell me how or what I can do to import data into filepro that has carriage returns within the data cells?
I receive these nice XLS files from my vendors with extended descriptions for things that I want to get into a memo fields in filepro but I'm having all sorts of issues trying to make that happen.
Usually after setting up the XLS file to the way it needs to be for the import I'd save it as a DXF file. That's been working just fine for quite some time but when a cell contains returns I get an error message saying it's not a valid DXF file. I also tried saving it as a CSV file and importing that but the cells with the returns didn't import at all when I tried that. And I'm not even sure I'm saving it as the correct type of CSV(Comma delimited CSV or MS-DOS CSV) for importing it.
Even if I get the import figured out if the data does have and returns within the memo it seems to stop exporting that fields data after the first one.
If at all possible, I would really like to maintain the returns because it makes it much easier to read the data in the memo and it would also make the exported data much nicer too read with them included.
AND...instead of me sitting here trying to figure this out for another week or so like I just did with all the MEMO stuff, I'd just assume pay someone to set it up for me. If someone is interested in doing that, let me know.
Mike
