Outlook & filePro

[John Esak]

Richard,
Next time you're in the room (which is almost the time except just now...
:-)  tell me how you used the column headings of the .csv to do the thing
you did.)  I want to write a generic "grabber of the field sin a .csv, but I
haven't been able to come up with anything elegant.  The only thing so far
is this... which is so stupid... the limitation of not being able to use
subscript variables for the imported  fields of any record is the problem.
Do you have a good way to do this...:

::import ascii pay=(fixed_source) F=, O=" C=" R=\n:
:not pay:goto fin_pay:
::declare h_head(8,.0):
:h_head eq "":h_head=open("/tmp/headings","rwc0"):
::h_wl=writeline(h_head,"1" < pay(1)):
::h_wl=writeline(h_head,"2" < pay(2)):
::h_wl=writeline(h_head,"3" < pay(3)):
::h_wl=writeline(h_head,"4" < pay(4)):
::h_wl=writeline(h_head,"5" < pay(5)):
::h_wl=writeline(h_head,"6" < pay(6)):
::h_wl=writeline(h_head,"7" < pay(7)):
::h_wl=writeline(h_head,"8" < pay(8)):
::h_wl=writeline(h_head,"9" < pay(9)):
::h_wl=writeline(h_head,"10" < pay(10)):
::h_wl=writeline(h_head,"11" < pay(11)):
::goto pay_fil:

This would be a one-liner prc.table if import had the ability to use an
expression as the subscript, instead of the hard-coded approach here. Not
too horrible to keep in a library and chop down or grow to needed size for
the file at ahnd... but a one-liner loop routine would be SO much better.

So, *how* did you get the column headings??
