I am building a basic POS app for my cousin’s pharmacy store so that he can dump the software he is currently using and save on license cost.All the medicines name which he has painfully entered into the software have been stored in a file with .d01 extension.
What i want is a way to read the contents of the .d01 file programmatically so that i can import the name of the medicines into my app.
The s/w from which my cousin uses is built in Foxpro(coz i see a lot of .cdx,.idx,.dbf files) and the file which i want to import is with .d01 extension. when i open the file in notepad it is something like this

So I assume its somekind of database table or something. So can anyone please help me in reading this file, as i am not at all aware of foxpro.
Thanks a lot in advance to all those who take out time to reply.
hey guys thank you very much for replying so promptly.. I tried the solution suggested by Otávio and it worked, i will now write a small utility to read the dbf.
It has a good chance of being just a regular .dbf file. Copy it somewhere safe, change the extension to dbf and see if you can open it from foxpro.
