Importing ASCII datafiles

This filter imports data from ordinary textfiles, which means that an korigin worksheet will be created. This will be probably the most important case. Textfiles include data in multiple columns and rows. No blank rows are allowed and columns can be separated by either tabs or spaces. Columns can have titles which are then displayed as column titles in the worksheet. Lots of options are available with this filter:


Here you can define the import style.


In this tab you can define if wheather there are column titles within the ASCII file or not. These titles are always searched within the data segment (after the skipped header, within Start and Endlabel). If Checking is enabled the first dataline will be checked for values or strings. So, of course when you use this option no string columns are allowed (shit happens otherwise).


Default file filter is "*.dat", but can also be modified within the importoptions dialogs.
