Subject Re: format for .CSV file From <rich@autotraker.com> <<rich@autotraker.com>> Date Wed, 12 Jun 2019 11:19:10 -0400 Newsgroups dbase.getting-started My suggestion is to get a sample/copy of the CSV file the other company wants you to use. I have run into issues several times that their CVS doesn't match the same formatting as my CVS. Akshat's suggestion of rolling your own is the way to go. Only get a sample from them to confirm exactly how they want it. Rich... "Matt Milner"  wrote in message news:x9NnjNSIVHA.1860@ip-AC1E04A7... I use dBase Plus 12. I am writing an interface between my software and that of another company. They have asked for data to be transferred in .CSV format with the first line containing the list of field names in comma delimited format.  They have also stipulated that empty fields be represented by double quotes and numeric fields have quotes around the numbers.  Is there a simple way for me to comply?
