TXT Range Editor

Used for whitespace-separated TXT databases.

 

 

Important Note: The spaces between the columns in the file must be filled with whitespace characters, not tab characters.

To import data from a TXT file, you must first define the columns by placing separator lines.

Double click to place and remove separators, click and drag to move them. The space between two separators should completely cover the longest entry in that column.

Once all separators are placed, select fields from the list to the right and click the required columns in the table. The import utility will record the starting point and width of the column for each field.

Use the Skip Lines field to skip title lines.

Clicking Clear all will remove the mapping between the columns and database fields, but not the separators.
