Include DIF to import data from a VisiCalc. For example, the following command adds records from a text file with character fields enclosed by underscores and all fields delimited from each other with asterisks:ĪPPEND FROM mytxt.txt DELIMITED WITH _ WITH CHARACTER * The WITH Delimiter clause can be combined with the WITH CHARACTER clause. You can also specify the BLANK and TAB keywords for Delimiter. If Delimiter is a semicolon (the character used in Visual FoxPro to indicate command line continuation), enclose the semicolon in quotation marks. Specifies files that contain fields all enclosed by the character specified with Delimiter. Specifies files that contain fields separated by tabs rather than commas.
Specifies files that contain fields separated by spaces instead of commas. Indicates that character fields are separated by a character other than the quotation mark. If the date is acceptable to CTOD(В ), the date will import properly. To test whether a date format can be successfully imported, use it with CTOD(В ). To import dates that are not in the default format, issue SET DATE with the proper date format before using APPEND FROM. Date delimiters can be any non-numeric character except the delimiter that separates the fields in the delimited file.ĭates in other formats can be imported if their formats match date formats available in SET DATE. Visual FoxPro will import a date, such as 12/25/95, that doesn't include the century and assumes the date is in the twentieth century. Including the century portion of a date is optional. You can import dates from delimited files if the dates are in proper date format. If the Microsoft Excel worksheet you append from has an extension other than the expected. For example, Microsoft Excel worksheets normally have an. If the source file you are appending from doesn't have the usual default file extension for that type of file, the source file name must include the file's extension. You can append from a wide variety of different file types including delimited ASCII text files, in which you can specify a field delimiter. Although you must specify a file type if the file you are appending from isn't a Visual FoxPro table, you need not include the TYPE key word. Specifies the source file type of the file you are appending from.
If you omit FOR, the entire source file is appended to the currently selected table. Records are appended until the end of the currently selected table is reached. You cannot append to memo fields from text files such as CSV and SDF files.Īppends a new record for each record in the currently selected table for which lExpression evaluates to True (.T.).
