[Solved] Move serial port (rs232) text input to Base

Post by EricLustig »

I would like to import fixed length carriage return delimited text records into base.
This is a very simple PBX application. Is a driver?
Or could oo basic open a stream and push each field into a column? Thanks
I'd like to use windows xp , but would consider a lamp setup.

What does "into Base" mean? Base is not a database. It is a frontend for databases. Just write your data into any database (dBase file?, CSV?) and when you need your data in a Writer document or spreadsheet Base will be the bridge between your DB and this office suite.
