How to parse legacy text files using FlexText

It’s a common requirement to convert non-standard or legacy text files to or from structured data formats like XML, JSON, and relational databases. However, many times legacy text files are not in a format that can be readily mapped. MapForce includes a unique utility called FlexText that makes it easy to visually define templates for parsing legacy text files and making them accessible to the data mapping tool.
