The -c option offers the most complete conversion of data into text. All the binary fields except for M and G are converted into their actual values. Since the fields are delimited by commas, the length of the output string is irrelevant. Excess blanks, fore and aft, are stripped. If you need to pull information out of a DBF file this is probably your best choice.
Empty fields produce a comma on output, so it is possible to have several commas in a row.
The output from -c is ideal for use with Awk and Perl. Records marked deleted are NOT included in the output. This option produces an HTML table in a complete Web page. This is the wishful thinking section. A future version of PeekDBF will test and analyze your troubled DBFs.
