Need to go to (www.trackinfo.com/trakdocs/) to get my data.
I want data from "Wheeling" that's the name of the track.
I need the data saved as .txt
there are like 30 fields per records. I need 8-spicific fields only.
At this point I use "Derby track" I go to the web site and they have data in txt format. but they end 1-1-2019.
The "Wheeling" track will have to be to .txt format , I guess?
If someone can help me do this ,please contact. will give more details if needed. I am using 4.04 pro

Looks like the Wheeling data is offered only as a pdf file.
You can't just find the data as text in such files.
There are good, free online pdf-to-text converters.
You can also do it from a pdf editor, like Acrobat.
And you can call a command-line utility- I use Ubuntu Linux, and there's a good pdf2txt converter.
My feeling is that rather than try to do it programmatically in LB, it's easiest to save the pdf and then use the online services to get out the text. This can then be 'parsed' in LB to fund the data items you require. I think!!
