Import Label Format File

[EBOUGHEY]

Is there any way to import a file into visual foxpro that is formatted as labels?

ie:

Computer User
123 main st
anytown, usa 55555


computer user 2
124 main st
anytown, usa 55555

This is the first time I've had no response...

I ended up pulling it into Microsoft word and creating a tab delimited file using the paragraph markers.

Thanks anyway.

You just figured out the answer for yourself too quickly! My response would have been - "Not directly. You'll need to use low-level IO, or parse out the info from FILETOSTR() and do your own insertions."

I hope you didn't think I was being sarcastic. You guys usually answer straight away and have helped me on numerous occassions.

I used to have right fielder (peoplesmith), but I lost it with my computer crash so had to find a way around it. I had forgotten that I knew how to do it in Word until after I posted.

I wonder how long the filetostr() would have taken. It took me about 15 minutes to convert it all.

Thanks though...
