Question

A powerful tool for reindexing

Jul 5, 2014 2:19AM PDT

I have several DBF files I want to search inside all of them fast.

How can I do that.

Need to export to somewhere ?

What is the perfect tool ?

I am not programmer, obviously a dummie.

Best Regards

Since it's a DBF

Then you would have to add this to your current app that uses these DBFs. Few today use dBase files except for legacy apps so given I did such work over a decade ago, well, I'm guessing you know of what you ask.

You can link to dBase-file inside most database programs (I checked in MS Access, I didn't check LibreOffice's Base). Then you can use that to search.
However, your needs aren't very clear. Searching is something else as indexing.
