l
Number of spaces per tab: Enter the number of spaces you want the document to
use for a tab, or use the spin buttons to adjust the value.
l
Remove HP PCL escapes: Select to have the document remove any Hewlett
Packard Printer Control Language (HP PCL) escape sequences it encounters.
l
CSV (comma separated values).
l
Text delimiter: Enter the character that starts and ends the data in each field of the
record. If you do not set a text delimiter and the data in a field contains the character
you set as the delimiter, the document splits that data into two fields. If you want to
use a backslash character (\) as a delimiter, you must precede it with another
backslash character (thus you would enter \\). You can also specify an ASCII
character using its octal value preceded by a backslash (for example, \041 is the
exclamation mark character [!]).
l
Force one record per page: Select to force a single record per data page. If you
clear the selection, the document fills the data page completely, splitting a record
across data pages if necessary. If you want to avoid splitting a record across data
pages, yet have several records in the buffer, select Force one record per page,
and, when you stabilize your data, set Pages in buffer to the number of records you
want the buffer to hold.
l
Delimiter: Enter the character that separates the fields of each record in the input
data. If you want to use a tab as a delimiter, select Set tab as field delimiter. If you
want to use a backslash character (\) as a delimiter, you must precede it with
another backslash character (thus you would enter \\). You can also specify an
ASCII character using its octal value preceded by a backslash (for example, \041 is
the exclamation mark character [!]).
l
Set tab as field delimiter: Select to define a tab as the character that separates the
fields of each record in the input data. Clear to use the Delimiter box to define that
character.
l
Channel skip.
l
Skip page: Enter the channel skip code that, in your data, signals the start of a new
data page. In standard channel skip emulation, a 1 (one) signals the start of a new
data page. If a 1 appears in the first column of your data, it is likely the channel skip
codes are standard, and that only minor adjustments to the other codes, if any, will
be necessary.
l
No line feed: Enter the channel skip code that tells the document to ignore any line
feed character (LF) that appears at the end of the line. This causes the next line to
