I have a couple of questions

1. How can I view and mod the dataloader code. I am a vb developer and I heard the data loader was written in java. Is there a vb edition?

2. If i can modify the code, is there anywway we could run a schedule task to exports certain tables to an ftp url nightly? Also, the files that are being uploaded need to be modified as well. For example, the phycial_zip_code in the account table will need to have a (') inserted in front of each zip code. Another example would be elliminate all carragie returns in the address field cells with a space ( " ") . How can this be done? Any sugeestions or helpful code?
