NEED TO MANIPULATE CSV FILE PRIOR TO IMPORT

Hope dandiebolt wins the Hawaii trip. Maybe next one to Brazil. Think I am one of the few Brazilian happy quickbase customers.... My company imports 4 CSV files, regularly (Daily basis) to One...

Hi, I'm from Brazil too, I've never used Dan's techniques (they sound fantastic) but they are out of my level ( I don't know programming).
I'm thinking of giving up quickbase after 3 years without seeing advances in the internationalization or use advanced mobile features (as we are a construction company I need offline access).
Today we do many routines in Excel to be able to import the bank information and boletos, which generates many human mistakes and loss of time.
I am studying migrating to windev / webdev and starting from scratch. I would like to know your experience and perspectives. please contact me at martin@mirantesdalagoa.com.br

Eduardo,

I can remove all of the following diacriticals used by Portuguese:
  • the cedilla (�)
  • acute accent (�, �, �, �, �)
  • circumflex accent (�, �, �)
  • tilde (�, �)
  • grave accent (�)
If this is one of the limitations to using QuickBase in Brazil (or other countries) I don't see a problem.

I am beginning to think we can come up with a working solution sooner than QuickBse will offer an i18n solution and learn a lot in the process.

But I have other work to do so contact me off-world if you want to pursue this.
