Text File Parser is designed to read, display and help you identify structures within plain vanilla text files. It:

Opens TEXT (that is plain ASCII) files.
Displays the contents in a structured, easy to read fashion,
Allows you to define and save the file structure for later use
Export the file to a different format.
Conversions are to :


Text delimited files (e.g. Tab, Comma, Space, etc.)
xBase* (as a dBase III database table) - which can be read in Clipper, dBase, FoxPro, etc..
Paradox (as Paradox 4)**

HTML Table
SQL Data Definition Statement - CREATE TABLE statement and corresponding INSERT INTO statements
XML Structure and Records

Print the structure (or save it in ASCII format to a file)
Choose your own editor

* does not require an xBase application or Excel on the desktop. Files are created on the fly.
** requires the Borland Database Engine (BDE) to create the Paradox table
*** Does NOT require ADO / ODBC to create / modify / remove the Text DSN. However, it DOES require ADO / ODBC to open / view tables to which the Text DSN refers.
