Import Text Files
Figure 3.3 Text Import Preview for Delimited Files
Charset Select the character set used in the imported file, or let JMP detect the character set. If incorrect
characters are displayed in the imported file, open the file again and select another character set.
End of Field (Available only in the Delimited Import window) Select the check boxes beside the character
that marks the end of a field. Alternatively, select the check box beside Other and enter a character if the
appropriate character is not listed.
End of Line (Available only in the Delimited Import window) Select the check boxes beside the character
that marks the end of a line (row). Alternatively, select the check box beside Other and enter a character
if the appropriate character is not listed. Note that when JMP finds double quotation marks, the
delimiter rules change to look for an end double quotation mark. Other text delimiters, including spaces
embedded within the quotes, are ignored and treated as part of the text string.
File contains column names on line Tell JMP where to find data to use as column names. For example,
if the column names in your text file are on line (row) 3, select this option and type 3 in the check box.
Otherwise, JMP uses the data in the first line of the imported file as the column name in the JMP data
table or takes the first line as data.
Data starts on line
Specify the number of the first line that contains data.
