AppleWorks data bases may be created from text files if each "category" entry
|
|
is demarcated with a carriage return. I have found this feature to be very
|
|
useful when converting a text listing of names and addresses to a data based
|
|
format. Unfortunately, text downloads don't contain the needed CR's and it is
|
|
a pain to use a word processor to format a large file.
|
|
|
|
CR.ADDER is a slow basic program which will replace the second of two
|
|
consecutive spaces within a text file with a CR. Usually, the original text
|
|
file needs dressing up on the word processor to assure that the start of the
|
|
file will contain the first category entry. Print, using your word processor,
|
|
the file to disk as a text file. Run CR.ADDER and a modified file will be
|
|
saved as name.CRA. AppleWorks can now be used to create a database from this
|
|
file if you correctly definine the number of categories per record.
