a slightly odd request

Post by mikeyp » Wed Aug 30, 2006 5:31 am

Hi, first off can I say great program, you've really got a good thing going here and there are plently of other extremely grateful people who use this software too.

Second... I have a slightly odd request which you may be able to help with... my problem is that I would like to print address labels on my dot matrix printer... purely because the running costs are a hell of a lot cheaper than with the laser seeing as a ribbon lasts forever and only costs £4 to replace... Unfortunatly all the address label programs I can find print via the windows graphic method, and as a result the dot matrix is slow and the result blurry.... basically I need a label program which will send pure text to the dot matrix like your pos system, and can accomodate Uk addresses... all the ones I have found so far have been designed for the states and require a 5 digit zip code on every address...

what would be ideal is a program that can parse a text file where the addresses are separated by a single line, and will print them out on the desired format of label...

If you know of such a program, please let me know, or if you fancy creating such a thing, that would be very much appreciated... or if you dont have time... where can I start learning how to build such a program... difficult since I have no previous programming knowledge whatsoever...

Thankyou in advance
