McXtract is a program which allows to extract fields from a text file, and to prepare the import of a text file to a worksheet or a database.

A dBase-compliant file can be generated if wanted. It can be very useful when have to repeat this operation evenly, because the fields definition used to prepare the extraction can be saved into a file, and therefore be recalled as wanted.

Imagine you have to analyse, in 5 fields between columns 250 and 290, for all its 7500 records...

The opening of that file with a worksheet or database manager can take a long time.

McXtract can extract those data and makes you save a lot of time: your selected fields are stored into a new text file; each of them is separated with a semicolon (the separator can be customized in the registered version).

The names of the fields can be optionally added on the top of the result file.
This program is also very useful to extract and analyse a single field in the text input file.

So this small disk-spacing tool can save quite a lot of time for text-files analysis.
