Re: Possible Macv2.1b2 Merge Bug

This WebDNA talk-list message is from

It keeps the original formatting.

texte = >WebCatalog expects all fields to be surrounded by quotes in merge >format, regardless of their type.This is different that FileMaker merge format which distinguishes text & numerical fields using quotes around text.> Is it possible for you to export them as text or perhaps tab-delim?That worked pretty easily.> 2.1 adds a cool new feature that helps with tab-delim export. Since many tab-delim exports don't bother to put the fieldnames at the top of the file, we added a check for a .hdr file of the same name as the database file. If it exists, we use it to tell us what the fieldnames are. Look in the 2.1b docs under file formats.I used this feature & its great! The only problem I have with 2.1b2 is the speed. Two macs connected via ethernet, one serving & the other browsing and the old version is probably 100X faster (I'm not exaggerating) Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
