Import Variable Command
To read a value for one of these variables from the import file, select the variable
and click Add. This moves the variable to the Import list. Repeat this process to
import more variables.
Import list
This list shows all of the variables whose values you want to import. Make sure
that the import file contains values for all of the variables which you want to
import. Select an entry and click Up or Down to re-arrange the order of the
variables in the list. The order of the variables in the list must match the order of
the fields in the import file (see below).
To remove a variable from the import list, select the variable and click Remove. If
the variable is a pre-defined variable, it is moved back to the Currently defined
variables list. If the variable is a newly created variable, it is deleted.
Select file to import
Specify the name and full path of the import file or click Browse and choose an
existing file. The import file can be either a comma-separated text file (.txt or
.csv) or an Excel file (.xls). The import file type is determined automatically
from the filename extension which you specify.
Read specified line
Check this checkbox and specify a line number to import the values from a
specified line of the import file. By default, the values will be imported from line
1. If the import file has a header, the header is not included in the line count.
Start in specified column
Check this checkbox and specify a column number to import the values
starting at a specified column of the import file. By default, the values will be
imported starting at column 1.
File contains header
Check this checkbox if the file contains a header with the names of the
variables to import.
Import file examples with and without header
Text file without header and values for one string variable and one numeric
variable:
“myprompt”,2
Text file with header and values for one string variable and two numeric variables:
prompt2,counter1,counter_2
“myprompt”,2,50
Text file with header and three sets of values for one string variable and one
numeric variable:
prompt2,counter1
“myprompt”,2
“hello”,25
“goodbye”,42
If the import file has a header, it is used to determine which value should be
imported to which variable. An error message will be output during script runtime if
any of the variable names in the import list cannot be found in the header.
If the import file does not have a header, the values are processed from left to
right. The value in the first field (Excel: column) is written to the first variable in the
import list and the value in the second field is written to the second variable in the
import list, etc.
