30 Jan 2009 Read DBF files DBFREAD reads numeric, float, character and date data and field names from a .DBF file. Author: Brian Madsen

Hi brian I found out why. It was because when exporting a file from xls to dbf, some fields get assigned the same field name due to truncation. I guess I should have given your 5 stars but whoops can't change that right now..

Hi Brian, I tried to use your dbfread to read a file. There were 98 columns in the file but after your script returned 120 columns. I checked it and found that some of the numeric fields have been duplicated. I don't know why. Anyways. Thanks for sharing!
