BLOBS

alikzander

Does anybody know if I can use a blob object to store the results of filtering a table? I'd like, if it's possible, some example code. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/smiles/icon_wink.gif" />
Thank you.
Regards from Valladolid.

Hi,

I Suppose you want the content of the record(s) in the BLOB file?

then you have to make a text file with the contents of REC.

REPEAT
fFile.WRITE( FORMAT( recArt ) )
UNTIL recArt.NEXT = 0

Then you have te import the text file into the BLOB.

When you want to show the content, you have to export the BLOB, use CALCFIELDS( Blob ) and Blob.Export, and open in for instance Notepad

Nice try Ivor, but Format(rec) will not work, if the total length of the record is above 1K.
At present you would have to hardcode the extract of fields.
