Topic: User specified delimiters

Topic by lisajimc 2009-11-13 14:06	User specified delimiters Is there any plan to include the option for a user specified delimiter in the Open File - Text - Configure Delimitor and Quotations area? I receive data with a variety of delimiters, and it would be helpful if I don't have to convert it first before I can analyze. BTW - I love this program!

The guy (michaelwc) who was in charge of it has been idle for some time now so I suspect development has been suspended though. It's not a hard one to fix though so maybe you'd be interested in coding a bit yourself? Glad you love it ;-)
