how to read dbf file in shell script and to convert dbf file usinf shell script
Hi all,
I am new to shell scripting.
I have dbf file and I need to convert it into csv file.
OR, can i read the fields from a .dbf file and OR seprate the records in dbf file and put into .csv or txt.
Actually in the .dbf files I am getting , the numbers of fields may vary in very record and hence no of columns in the records is not fixed,,,but there is a mandatory field Name_area and rest are optionals , so is there a way to fix the end of record in a .dbf file while reading it through shell script code.
i cant use PERL or Python scripts ,I have to use korn shell scripts..
Your help will be highly appreciated..
u can respond or mail me at email removed.
Thanks in Advance...
