Solve : finding duplicate names in a .dbf file?

Answer»

Can anyone suggest a freeware program that enables the user to
check through a .dbf table and find DUPLICATE records?

Just one lookup field will be enough for my purpose

regards fred evans


(ntambomvu means "red neck" in Xhosa)you can search google for that, else, use a programming language that provides modules to read dbf files. eg Here's a Python code, USING the module dfbpy
Code: [Select]import dbfpy,sys
filename = sys.argv[1]
from dbfpy import dbf
db = dbf.Dbf(filename)
for REC in db:
    print rec
save as myscript.py and on commandline
Code: [Select]C:\TEST> python myscript.py test.dbf
