Euphoria is well suited for this. I would recommend using the DOS
version
first for the logic, then make it pretty with Win32Lib once you know
the logic
is working. Assuming the report has identifiable markers (like a row
of equal
signs, for example) to identify the split between the header and body,
and
something to identify the end of a record, it should take you an hour
max to
do, most of that time being spent finding the correct syntax in
library.doc.
A few tips:
Make sure you include the wildcard.e and get.e libraries.
Using gets, compare, and puts should get you well on your way.
Dive right in, and if you get stuck, we're here to help. The only
foolish
question is the one that isn't asked!
