Scheme Builder - Import From Text File

Following are descriptions of the items on the Scheme Builder Import From Text File screen. You can access this screen from the Scheme Builder screen by choosing File > Import From Text File.

Import File Name - Specify the name and location of your scheme text file. You can type the file path and name manually (for example, c:\myfiles\myscheme.txt), or click the Browse icon to browse for the file.

Text Qualifier - Specify what character, if any, the Scheme Builder should expect at the beginning and end of each text field value in the scheme text file. The two available qualifiers are single quote (') and double quote (").

Note: If your scheme text file was created by another program, check that program's documentation to see what text qualifier, if any, it might have used. Or, look at the file directly in a text editor such as Microsoft© Notepad.

Number of Rows to Skip - If your scheme text file has introductory or header information, specify the number of introductory lines to skip before the Scheme Builder starts reading the scheme text file's content as data.

Encoding - Specify the type of encoding used in the scheme text file.

Field Delimiter - Specify the type of separator (delimiter) used in the scheme text file for separating data fields.

Note: If your scheme text file was created by another program, check that program's documentation to see what field delimiter it might have used. Or, look at the file directly in a text editor such as Notepad.
