How to import data from text file created from List Memory or Obje

I want to import data from text files created from List Memory or List Object
in VFP SP1. Is there any tools available for such import?

Thanks

you neglect to say which vfp "sp1" you are using; but that's not really
important.

use low level file i/o or
filetostr() to pull it in; then parse teh result & add it to your table.

There is, it's called Visual FoxPro, does that ring a bell? (LOL)
You can actually read the memo directly line by line with filetostr() function
like in:
set memowidth to 2048
list memory to cMemory.txt
cStr = FILETOSTR("cmemory.txt")

Then create an array like: ALINES(laLinesToRead, cStr)

Read the array line by line like:
ln = 28
clear
?SUBSTR(laLinesToRead(ln),1,63)
?SUBSTR(laLinesToRead(ln),64,3)
?SUBSTR(laLinesToRead(ln),100,1)
?SUBSTR(laLinesToRead(ln),115)
