Would it not have been easier to export as CSV files then just read them into blitz? That way you've got nice soft coding going on too.
You'd end up with code something like
using my Entry function.
filein = readfile("weapons.csv")
repeat
l$ = readline filein ; read the line
l$ = replace(l$,chr(34),"") ;remove the quotes
w.weapon = new weapon
w\name = entry(1,l$,",")
w\cost= entry(2,l$,",")
w\weight = entry(3,l$,",")
w\magic = entry(4,l$,",")
until eof(filein)
closefile filein
