Flat File Class

Hi,

Do you know of the source for classes reading and writing flat files,
including providing meta data such as column format, datatype, alignment,
defaults and constraints.

I need it for various data import and export projects.

Hi Thomas,

Flat files are as flat as flat can be, however I think you can fullfil your
needs using XML files, and when you take the (not database) XML dataset
approach for that you get very easy handling in my opinion.

I hope this helps?
