Convert Text Data to Fielded Data

Right Fielder gives you the control and flexibility to transform messy text data into correctly fielded information that can be used with database programs. When field data is not formatted uniformly, it cannot be purged of duplicates, presorted or ZIP + 4® coded. In short, you cannot perform the processes that will save you money on postage and printing.

Use Right Fielder to convert different kinds of print-image or text files into a legitimate database, where each label becomes a set of fields in a single record.

The program fields data by identifying key words and patterns, then moves each line into the correct field.

The program allows you to define the layout and field names you would like to use.

Features

Automatically fields varied, jumbled data to its proper field
Moves primary address into a consistent field
Works with dBASE and ASCII formats
Converts print image or label format files
Recognizes and marks foreign addresses
Fast processing- about 1 million records per hour

Easy To Use

Borland C++, Visual FoxPro, Visual Basic and Visual C++ code samples are included with purchase of the Right Fielder API.

Here's an example (in Visual Basic):

Sub Main()
  Dim hFielder As Long
  Dim rc As Integer
  Dim Name As String, Dept As String,_
  Co As String, Add1 As String,_
  Add2 As String, Add3 As String,_
  City As String, State As String,_
  Zip5 As String, Zip4 As String, Phone As String

  BRFRegister("DEMO")

  hFielder=BRFInitialize("N  D C AAATSZ4 P ",0,0,0,"CC",0)

  Name=Space(256)
  Dept=Space(256)
  Co=Space(256)
  Add1=Space(256)
  Add2=Space(256)
  Add3=Space(256)
  City=Space(256)
  State=Space(256)
  Zip5=Space(256)
  Zip4=Space(256)
  Phone=Space(256)

  rc=BRFField(hFielder,"Drexel Div",_
  "% Joe Felty","AR Dept","Hennepin Inc", _
  "Clark Plaza","1220 West Hwy","Braham,_
  MN 02066","","","",Name,0,0,Dept,0,_
  Co,0,Add1,Add2,Add3,City,State,Zip5,_
  Zip4,0,Phone,0)

  Name=Left(Name,InStr(1,Name,Chr(0))-1)
  Dept=Left(Dept,InStr(1,Dept,Chr(0))-1)
  Co=Left(Co,InStr(1,Co,Chr(0))-1)
  Add1=Left(Add1,InStr(1,Add1,Chr(0))-1)
  Add2=Left(Add2,InStr(1,Add2,Chr(0))-1)
  Add3=Left(Add3,InStr(1,Add3,Chr(0))-1)
  City=Left(City,InStr(1,City,Chr(0))-1)
  State=Left(State,InStr(1,State,Chr(0))-1)
  Zip5=Left(Zip5,InStr(1,Zip5,Chr(0))-1)
  Zip4=Left(Zip4,InStr(1,Zip5,Chr(0))-1)
  Phone=Left(Phone,InStr(1,Phone,Chr(0))-1)

  Call BRFClose(hFielder)
End Sub
