Importing text file

[aria]

Hi there,

we are looking for a Filemaker Pro plug in to import text files that has tab and space decimeter.

all the files are very messy and need a tool to import them into Filemaker.

Attached "CSerSum.txt" example of text file that we need to import.

Any plug-inScript or tool out there to help us with this?

Thanks in advance,

A

Each file contains data from a single patient ?

Hi Daniele,

Your English is fine!!

Yes, each file contains data from a single patient.

By the way, the name in this file is a dummy name :

Oops,

I forgot to add that we do not need to import all the fields into Filemaker, just some of them.

Thanks,

Filemaker has the option of importing text files from a folder. Each file will be a record, with the entire content in a single field.

You can then run a script to parse out the data and create the necessary records - provided that the format is consistent.
