Fields with garbage after NULL are read back as strings #49

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
If you have a DBF field that has garbage after the terminating NULL, the record 
will contain the terminating NULL and the garbage, even if it is defined as 
something else than C (F for instance).

The expected behavior is to end the string at the NULL, disregard anything 
after the NULL and do the correct conversion based on field type.
