hi,

I WROTE A WINDOWS APPLICATION WHICH WRITES DATA FROM EXCEL FILE TO A TEXT FILE WITH COLOUMNS OF FIXED LENGTH SUPPOSE IF THE LENGTH OF THE COLOUMN IS 20 CHARACTERS AND THE VALUE IN THE COLOUMN IS ONLY 10 CHARACTERS
THE RMAINING 10 CHARACTERS WILL BE EMPTY SPACES.

THE PROBLEN IS THAT IN TEXT FILE IT ACCEPTS ONLY 1024 CHARACTERS PER LINE. BUT I HAVE 3036 CHARACTERS .

PLEASE HELP ME WITH AN ALTERNATIVE TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM.

tHANKS IN ADVANCE.

Write
Write
Writeln

or some such

By the way SHOUTING is irritating
