ascii-template [message #44137]

greetings.

i am reading and writing a lot of ascii text files with data. it works
like this:
1) i write data in columns into a ascii file
2) i use a self implemented function which uses ASCII_TEMPLATE and SAVE to
save an ascii template which contains the names of the columns in the data
file
3) when reading the data i use RESTORE to restore the template and use it
in the READ_ASCII function.

in the course of my work this format of the ascii data file changes. new
columns appear, other columns disappear. everytime that happens i have to
use my SAVE_ASCII_TEMPLATE function to make a whole new template which is
annoying if the data file now contains 25 columns instead of 26 because i
have to type in the names of the 25 columns again although they haven't
changed.

does anybody know if i can directly manipulate the saved ascii template?
the documentation of the structure ASCII_TEMPLATE produces is rather poor.

thank you very much
