- DESCRIPTION
- FIELD CHECK will check any comma-delimited data file (ala
- WordStar's mailmerge) and check to ensure that every line has the
- correct number of fields. It will also look for unmatched
- quotation marks on each line. Lines with errors will be reported
- on screen and sent to an error file on disk.
-
-
- SHAREWARE
- FIELD CHECK is being released as shareware which means that
- you, as an individual may try this program for a reasonable
- period of time for evaluation purposes. If you wish to continue to
- use the program, you are obligated to register with Exhibit A
- Communications. Registration will accomplish many things:
- 1) Remove the annoying "beg screen" when program exits
- 2) Remove the annoying "beg message" in the error file
- 3) Returns cursor to bottom of screen rather than in the
- middle, allowing you to continue working without
- having to clear the screen.
- 4) Entitles you to the latest version of FIELD CHECK
- 5) Notification of future releases
- 6) Shareware (non-registered) copies of other Exhibit A
- programs.
- 7) Allow you to contact the programmer for tech support
- 8) Enable me to go to lunch occasionally!
- The cost of FIELD CHECK ($10.00 per registered copy) allows the
- user to continue using the program on one computer at one time. This
- means that every effort should be made to prevent any possibility that
- two copies may be run at the same time on different computers.
- Corporate or business users are required to pay for each
- copy in use at their business. Volume discounts are available
- upon request.
- Unregistered shareware versions of this program may not
- be sold without the permission of Exhibit A Communications.
- (This means YOU shareware distributors!) You may of course sell
- a registered copy so long as you transfer all copies of the
- registered program to the new owner.
-
-
- USAGE
- FIELD CHECK can be run interactively or from the
- command-line. By entering FC alone on the command line,
- the user is offered the opportunity to enter the name of the file
- they wish checked as well as the number of fields on each line.
-
- Command-line usage is as follows:
-
- FC <filename> <number of fields> <error file name>
-
- Where <filename> is the name of the data file to be checked, <number of
- fields> is what it says and <error file name> allows user to specify the name
- of the output file. The program will immediately begin checking <filename> for
- <number of fields>. Any errors will be displayed in the error
- window as well as listed in the file FLD_CHK.ERR.
