Open, Browse several CSV-Files, then Copy to TPS

Open several CSV-files, browse and copy them to TPS (Clarion 5.5+)

In this sample we read some different CSV-files (all with the same structure) into a browse. After that a simple click moves the records to a TPS-file.
Its really nothing special, no magic.

Usually I put only one topic into a sample. This is meant to focus on one particular item and therefore avoid confusion by other fancy things. But this time I have combined some topics:

in the DCT you see where / how a variable can be used to hold the current filename at runtime
in the program itself we fill a queue with all the CSV-files in the folder using the DIRECTORY()-function
after picking another file from the list we open a new browse-window with this newly chosen CSV
and finally we loop through the CSV to append every record to the TPS

I made this sample as a response to a request for such a specific sample which was published on the SoftVelocity-Webforum

Thats mostly all! Add salt and pepper as you like....

You can download the Csv2tps.zip, its made with C55 so some more folks can make use of it It contains the APP, DCT and some CSV.
