So, for example, the data for a record in an exported text file might
appear as follows:
Field 1[tab]Field 2[tab]Field 3[tab]Field 4[tab]Field 5[tab]Field 6[tab]Field
7[tab]Keyword 1,Keyword 2,Keyword 3,Keyword 4[tab]file:///
John’sHD/Photos/Mary.jpg[tab]This is a picture of my wife, Mary, that I
took last summer on our vacation.¶¶Out of all the pictures I’ve taken of
Mary this year, I think she looks best in this one.
If any data element is empty, consecutive tabs will appear at that
point in the text file. For example, if only Field 3 of the seven fields
in the first record above contained any information, the paragraph in
the exported text file would appear as follows:
[tab][tab]Field 3[tab][tab][tab][tab][tab]Keyword 1,Keyword 2,Keyword
3,Keyword 4[tab]file:///John’sHD/Photos/Mary.jpg[tab]This is a
picture of my wife, Mary, that I took last summer on our vacation.¶¶Out
of all the pictures I’ve taken of Mary this year, I think she looks best in this
one.
