Re: [SL] CSV files and importing

[Jerome J. A. <jer...@bo...>]

Hi Jeff,

Some time ago, I had to deal with .DBF files and I used the Perl modules 
in this link:  http://search.cpan.org/search?query=DBF&mode=all

There are more than one option so just try which one fits your need.  
You might have to write a short script to do this.
