Larry Sholl 76324,1413 K1EPC 903 Walton St. Rockville, In. July 14, 1987 Carriage Return Adding AppleWorks data bases may be created from text files if each "category" entry is demarcated with a carriage return. I have found this feature to be very useful when converting a text listing of names and addresses to a data based format. Unfortunately, text downloads don't contain the needed CR's and it is a pain to use a word processor to format a large file. CR.ADDER is a slow basic program which will replace the second of two consecutive spaces within a text file with a CR. Usually, the original text file needs dressing up on the word processor to assure that the start of the file will contain the first category entry. Print, using your word processor, the file to disk as a text file. Run CR.ADDER and a modified file will be saved as name.CRA. AppleWorks can now be used to create a database from this file if you correctly definine the number of categories per record.
