RE: [WebDNA] Reformatting database headers
This WebDNA talk-list message is from 2009
It keeps the original formatting.

[!]***Takes downloaded database and writes a separate header file while removing any spaces in header names[/!] [writefile sasjcmls_res.hdr][ListFields sasjcmls_res.db][grep search=[url] [/url]&replace=][FieldName][/grep] [/ListFields][/writefile] [!]***Waits for new header file to be created and then deletes old header row in database using old unique field name[/!] [WaitForFile file=sasjcmls_res.hdr] [delete db=sasjcmls_res.db&eqMLSNumberdata=MLS Number] [/WaitForFile] I still have headers with odd characters in them. Does anyone know if there are illegal characters we should not be using in our header names? Thanks for your help Donovan and Dan.

D).. however, you may have to try with and without urling. However, I probably should have refrained from posting.. because I replied with answer that really isn't correct (out of not having enough time to really think about your issue).. sorry. I still don't have enough time.. however, my code that I posted, when the syntax is corrected, is still not going to work! :-/ This may be closer.. but again, I'm typing fast and this is untested: -- [writefile file=newdb.hdr][grep search=[url] [/url]&replace=|][middle startafter=&endbefore=[/unurl]%0D[/unurl]][include file=olddb.db&raw=T][/middle][/grep][/writefile] [writefile file=newdb.db][middle startafter=[/unurl]%0D[/unurl]&endbefore=][include file=olddb.db&raw=T][/middle][/writefile] [movefile from=olddb.db&to=archives/olddb.db.bu] -- The old code would, when working, would spit out just the header.. the later code, creates a .hdr file and matching .db file (when working). Hope that helps.
