Read and Write .DBF

Post by PrietoM »

Is there an easy way to Read and Write DBF files?
I need to read a .csv file and write to several .DBF files.

I searched the forum and did not find anything.

Thanks.

You probably have to do it yourself. But you can find CSV codes on here and the DBF file format doesn't look that hard:

Edit:
Oh well, maybe cheetah will do it as well. Don't know about that.
If any of you native English speakers have any suggestions for the above text, please let me know (via PM). Thanks!

For XBASE application, you can also use cheetah.dll

The cheetah4 open source package with source codes is at:

The working PureBasic wrapper with cheetah4.dll is at:

Code: Select all

I searched using the forum search feature and did not find anything. I then used Googles search and found a bunch of posts in this forum.

Thanks I will take a look at the cheetah db!!!
