End of Field (Available only in the Delimited Import window) Click the box beside the character
found in the text file that serves as the delimiter signifying the end of a field. Click the box beside
Other and enter a character if the appropriate character is not listed.
End of Line (Available only in the Delimited Import window) Click the box beside the character
found in the text file that serves as the delimiter signifying the end of a line (row). Click the box
beside Other and enter a character if the appropriate character is not listed. Note that if
double-quotes are encountered when importing text data, the delimiter rules change to look for
an end double-quote. Other text delimiters, including spaces embedded within the quotes, are
ignored and treated as part of the text string.
Strip enclosing quotes is selectable only on fixed-width imports. Click this box if you want JMP
to remove quotation marks that enclose data in the text file.
