Hi I have a table of data held in a table in EXCEL and I want to import it into a field in a LC stack. I saved the file from EXECL as a tab delimited text file and used the following handler
* on* mouseUp *answer* file "choose" with *type* "text|txt|TXT" *if* it is empty or it is *cancel* *then* *exit* mouseup *put* "file:"&it into fName *put* URL fName into fld "display" * end* mouseUp The stange thing is that this doesnt appear to work - I get a blank field. However if I open and save the text file in NotePad or WordPad and then run the handler I get the data displayed in the field correctly. So how do I get the text file to be recognised without putting it through Notepad? What does EXCEL do to the file that NotePad doesn't? I'm using LC 4.5.1 and have also tested this on Rev Enterprise 4.0 both on Windows (Win 7 and XP) -- Regards Ian McKnight iangmckni...@gmail.com ======================= _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
