problem importing text files with commas

[Paolo]

I'm importing records from a text file.

I import the file in a single field, called IMPORT.

The field IMPORT of each record stores entirely a single line of the file.

However when FM finds a comma "," it treat the char as a field break and the rest of the line is not imported (since there are no more specified fields to put the remaining part in).

Is there any way to make FM treating commas (and semicolons and so on) as normal chars ?

thank you

There are three forms of importing text. One is All available, two is Tab delimited and the other is Comma delimited. This sounds like you are choosing either all availabe or Comma. Try Tab instead and see if that doesn't do it.

you're right!

I was importing with "All available", importing as "Tab separated" solves the problem.

(At least until i'll have to import a file with commas and tabs :-) )

Thank you!
