I have been looking at your tool, but I don't see any instructions on how to
construct a file using your custom file structure. I want to be using this
on a regular basis and would need my own frontend to construct the file
without having the data be exported from another database.

Instead of loosing your time and nervers, take a look at the tool I
created just because I've had the same problems. Also, you can read
about external tables, NULLs and other beasts at the main page:
