import

[Steven Waters]

I tried this one and got syntax error.

>::import ascii imp = /f/appl/fpmerge/tgicaps.txt r=\n:
>:not imp:goto endit:
>::xx=imp(1):
>::'  manually parse out fields from xx and write them to another file:
>::goto loop:

So I had to add
import ascii imp = /f/appl/fpmerge/tgicaps.txt r=\n f=\n
The result was field 1 importing. The other fields dropped off.

I'm off to try the Alien file suggestion.
Thanks for your help
