Importing Text as Data
Importing text as JMP data tables is quick and useful for situations where text was first pasted into a
text window, and then subsequently formatted and adjusted in preparation for import into a data table.
To import text as a data table:
1 Open the script or text in JMP as a script and make sure it is the active window.
2 Select File > Import as Data (Windows and Linux) or Edit > Import as Data (Macintosh).
3 The text is imported into a JMP data table using the settings from the Text Import preferences. The
Preferences window is found under File > Preferences > Text Data Files (on Windows and Linux)
or JMP > Preferences > Text Data Files (on Macintosh).
Importing text as JMP data tables is also useful when extracting tabular information from a web page.
To import data from a web page:
1 Highlight the information that is on a web page and copy it to the clipboard.
2 Open a new script window in JMP by selecting File > New > Script (Windows and Linux) or File >
New > New Script (Macintosh).
3 Paste the information to the script window.
4 Select File > Import as Data (Windows and Linux) or Edit > Import as Data (Macintosh).
