Table Delimiter

Specifies the (single) character that separates values in the table.

Table Combine Delimiters

If On, then consecutive delimiters will be considered as one. This is often the case when whitespace is used to separate values which are aligned in columns. Note that in this case, it is not possible to represent missing values in the table. If Off, then a delimiter not surrounded by two data values indicates there is a missing value on at least one side of it. See the discussion in for more details.

Table Header Row

Specifies which row of the table file contains the names of the columns. This row, if present, should contain the one entry for each data column, separated with the same delimiter as the data. The first row of the table is number 1. Set this parameter to 0 in order to indicate that there is no header row.

Table Data Row Offset

Specifies how many rows after the header row the first data row appears. Normally this is 1, since data tends to start on the row after the column headers. If there is no header row, then this number is equivalent to the first data row (e.g. if the data starts on row 3, then set this parameter to 3).

Table Meta Data Rows

Specifies the rows (if any) which contain meta-data in a form which can be parsed by Metview. See for more details. Enter the row numbers separated by a "/".
