Consider case: Select to force the Generic Splitter to match the character casing of the string of the values
appearing in the selected database field. If this option is selected, “DAY” and “Day” will not be considered as
matching the search string “day”.
Where to split group
Pages or records: Enter exactly where to split the file. Enter 1 to split the file 1 page or record before or
after the string, 2 to split the file 2 pages or records before or after the string, or 0 to split the file
immediately before or after the string.
Before or after: In the previous box, you entered where you wanted to split the file. Here is where you
specify whether you want the Generic Splitter to split the file X number of pages or records before or after the
string. Choose 5 in the Pages or records box and “Records after” in this box, for example, to split the file 5
records after the record that matches the condition.
Split when condition found: You may not want to split the file every time the string of characters changes,
but only every other time, or every third time. If so, enter the number of times in this box.
Form feed
If you choose “Form Feed” in the Split data file on list box (the Use emulation option must not be selected),
the following box is displayed.
Pages per output file: Enter a number of pages after which to split the file (a page is counted every time a
form feed character is encountered). If you enter 3, for example, the Generic Splitter will split the file after
every third form feed character.
A number of lines
If you choose “A number of lines” in the Split data file on list box (the Use emulation option must not be
selected), the following boxes are displayed.
Lines per page: Enter the number of lines after which to split the file. You may use the Pages per output file
box below as a multiplier of the value entered here. If you enter 5 here and 5 in the box below, for instance,
the Generic Splitter will always cut the data file after 25 lines of data (not considering the Also break on form
feeds option below).
Pages per output file: You may enter a value here as a multiplier of the value entered in the box above.
Also break pages on form feeds: Select to split the file every time a form feed character is encountered,
regardless of the number of lines counted.
A word in a stream
If you choose “A word in a stream” in the Split data file on list box (the Use emulation option must not be
selected), the following box is displayed.
Word: Enter the string of characters to search for as the splitting criteria. You may also use the Get button to
get a static string of characters from the sample data file. If you use this option, the coordinates of the data
you will select will be added to the Word is between columns group below.
Word is between columns group
From and To: Enter a horizontal search region defined as starting from a given column and ending at a given
column. If you enter 1 in the From box and 5 in the To box, the Generic Splitter will search for the string of
characters entered above only in the first five columns of data (the five first characters of every line—since no
emulation is used, this may include data formatting characters, such as quotes or commas).
Consider case: Select to force the Generic Splitter to match the character casing of the string of characters
entered above with the characters found in the file. If this option is selected, “DAY” and “Day” will not be
considered as matching the search string “day”.
