Return to the technote repository Tabulation-delimited
import

Tabulation is the choice separator for import/export files, as it can't be used in edit controls.

But it can't be set as the delimiter character with the Input Form Magic operation, as a consequence of the previous statement, it just goes to the next field...

The solution I have found is to modify an export of the program. Look for the DLMR keyword in the export, then replace the value par 09 (the ASCII code for tab) : READ={MOD=S,IO={IDX=1},DSP={IDX=2},DLMR=##,FLW={CND=Y,MOD=B,DIR=C}}}}, to READ={MOD=S,IO={IDX=1},DSP={IDX=2},DLMR=09,FLW={CND=Y,MOD=B,DIR=C}}}}, and import the program ! You'll see a character like | in the delimiter character field of the Input Form operation.
