DBF Tools

  Tool to convert between DBF and CSV (comma separated values) files.


Step 1

Choose a a file to be converted.

If the extension is ".DBF", I understand that you want to convert a dBase II DFB file to CSV.

If the extension is ".CSV", I understand that you want to convert a CSV file to dBase II DFB.


Notes for CSV file:
  • Separator: comma
  • Decimal: dot
  • Strings: with/no quotes
  • Strings with commas: between quotes
  • Header: mandatory
  • Logical field: use "y" or "n"
  • Text encoding: ANSI or UTF-8
Example: 
id,name,salary,boss
1234,Paula Saldanha,5000.00,n
5678,Beatriz Dutra,7500.00,y

  If your CSV text file has accentuation, use the Text Tools to convert it between MSX and PC. Text files with accentuation must be encoded as "ANSI".
