Import parameter to set the separator character for board records
The most common separator for data in an import file is comma ( , ) but in some cases it is not possible to use the comma and another symbol is used instead.
Enter the character or the ASCII number for the character for the separator to use (e.g. / or 47), for example:-
Field separator - boards: /
The separator for fields must be different from the separator for decimal or fractional numbers. For example, if a comma is used to separate decimals: 1200,0 it cannot be used as a field separator.
For fractional numbers there may be two different separators: 21,1/2. In this example neither the comma ( , ) nor the forward oblique stroke ( / ) can be used as the field separator.
If the separator is other than comma ( , ) any commas are treated as decimal points in number fields. For example, if the separator is ( / ) the item (/1320,5/) is interpreted as the number 1320.5
For the ASCII code enter a 2 digit code with a leading zero if necessary. Some common codes are:-
35 # hash
36 $ dollar
37 % percent
38 & ampersand
42 * asterisk
44 , comma
45 - hyphen or dash
46 . period or dot
47 / forward oblique
58 : colon
59 ; semi colon
60 < less than
62 > greater than
63 ? question mark
