Removing password from processing table???

[Brian K. White]

It's easy IF the table was saved in ascii format.

Basically, open up the table in a plain text editor.
If everything looks like garbage, as in totally and absolutely random 
with no recognizable text at all, then you need fptech to remove it for you.

If the file looks more or less readable, just not exactly like you are 
used to seeing in cabe ("define processing") then it's easy.

Every line in the file is made up of 3 parts separated by ":"
label:if:then
So a line that looks like this in cabe:

@keyn    If: qt eq "0"
        Then: msgbox "Quantity must not be 0!"

Would look like this in a text editor:

@keyn:qt eq "0":msgbox "Quantity must not be 0!"

A line with no label and no conditional, just a Then: part looks like this:

::msgbox "Quantity must not be 0!"

With me so far?

OK, EXCEPT the very first line.
The very first line has an extra, 4th field added to the end, after the 
Then: part. That is the encrypted site password that was in effect at 
the time that table was saved.

Assuming the first line just has comments, it would look like this:
:'my super table:'brian at aljex.com 20140422:Hrz4Qn62uy

All you have to do is go to the end of that line and backspace over the 
encrypted password and the colon.

The above example line would look like this after:
:'my super table:'brian at aljex.com 20140422

Save the file and you're done.

I say "text editor" without specifying any particular one or asking what 
OS you are on, because it doesn't matter as long as you do the obvious 
thing. If you are on Windows and use any normal Windows text editor, 
then by *default* it will save the file with DOS line endings, which is 
correct for Windows filepro. If you are on linux or unix and you use any 
linux/unix text editor, it will save the file with unix line endings, 
which is correct for unix filepro. But if you are running filepro on 
linux but pull a process table over to your windows desktop and edit the 
file in Notepad and then send it back to linux, then you get what you 
deserve! :) (don't worry even that is easily fixed)
