Hi,
Does anyone know how to export a fixed-wdith file in UNIX
format (only line feeds, no carroage return / line feeds
as in DOS) from Access 2000? Appreciate any help.
 
Hi Vinny,

There are utilities available for download from sites such as
www.tucows.com that can convert text files between Unix, Windows and
Macintosh style. Some text editors can do this too (e.g. TextPad). If
you have Perl installed on a Windows workstation, it will normally
convert the line ends automatically too; something like this
perl -i.bak -pe "$_" D:\folder\file.txt
at the command line is all you need.
