How can I get a fixed length record in Windows

[Ole Hansen, ScanConsult]

Hi Jeff,

In similar circumstances we use a utility TOFIX, that I wrote years back in
Turbo Pascal, now re-compiled under Windows XP.

>From its help :

Converts a variable-length file to a fixed-length file
ScanConsult IT-Partners            www.scanconsult.dk
Usage : tofix <record-length> <infile> <outfile>

Since the list server strips attachments (I think), I have sent the utility
to you off-list.

HTH

Mange hilsner / With kind regards
 
Ole Hansen

Hi

I need to do a dir command to a file, then read this file in PH. The record
has been defined as 80 char, however the dir command gives a variable length
record. Does anyone have a Windows solution.

Ph841c on Windows 2000

Thanks

Jeff
