Subject:  [VOICENWS] SW: ListBuilder 2.01

From: "Hans Hockx" <jcm.hockx at hccnet.nl> 

ListBuiler is a utility for those who work with sets of (structured) data
in ASCII (plain text) format. For instance: data exported from a database,
spreadsheet, wordprocessor or data that is used on an other platform like
a Personal Digital Assistants. These are the kind of files that will have
one record on each line, where each line has several fields (delimited by
comma, TAB or with a fixed lengt for each field). With ListBuilder you
can:

- substract selected fields (create a new list) from the source file and
write this information to a new file; - create a new list with the same
information but with a changed  sequence of information (fields) in each
record; - convert comma delimited files to TAB delimited files or Lotus
WordPro mailmerge files; - convert a file that has fixed field length,
without delimiters between the fields, to a comma or TAB-delimited file.
This will also remove any trailing spaces form each field; - write a new
file with records that are selected on the content of one particular field
(operators supported are 'equal' and 'not equal' to a user supplied text;
- Combine data from different sources into a new file (data from the
second file will be appended to an existing file if you enter the name of
an existing file for the output file. If no such file exits, a new file
will be created; - save list definitons for future use.

With the available set of features ListBuilder can be used instead of
several dedicated filters written in REXX or any other language.
ListBuilder was developed in support of Contacts Viewer, but it can be
used for many other purposes.

ListBuilder 2.01 can be downloaded from the 'useful utilities' page on my
'Psion to OS/2 Connection' website at http://os2.mensys.nl/psion
