I've been looking for a way to export TPS files to an ASCII file. I have TOPSCAN.EXE, and the Clarion version I'm at is 5.5. Unfortunately, I need to be able to export the files via a batch file, as I will be remotely dialed in and am not allowed to see the screen (pcAnywhere 11 DOS prompt). I'm unable to install any other languages (Perl, etc.) on the remote system. Does anyone have any experience with this sort of situation?

Thanks!

Not obvious how you'd 'strip down' a TPS to ASCII. Seems like you'd need the Clarion to 'export as' somewhat the way Excel will write CSV etc.


=====================================
If at first you don't succeed, you're about average.

Actually, that's exactly what I'd need, only I'm having to find a way to get Topscan to do it from the command line rather than the GUI.

Hi,
Write an app in any language to use ODBC to connect to TPS. If you dont have it, You can buy the ODBC driver from softvelocity.
