Is your file in the wrong format? Instead of rekeying it, reformat it with Parse-O-Matic Free Edition — a flexible, programmable data file converter. Avoid the frustrating restrictions of "point and click" converters that almost do the job; with the Parse-O-Matic Free Edition, your scripts tell the program precisely what you want to do.
Edit a text file automatically. Copy valid data; repair or skip bad data. Rearrange a print file. Expedite migration of legacy systems. Export a comma-separated-value (CSV) file for import to a database (such as Access, SQL Server, FileMaker, Oracle, Paradox, ODBC) or a spreadsheet table (Excel, Calc, Quattro).

Modify character strings into uppercase, lowercase or mixed case. Calculate totals up to 18 Digits long.
