• fileName [in]

The fully-qualified pathway to the text file to import.

Type: String

• fieldSeparator [in,optional]

Which ASCII character code shall be used as a separator in the text file when importing. This parameter defaults to 9, which implies a tab.

Type: Variant

Default value: 9

• startImport [in,optional]

The first case to begin the import from. This parameter defaults to 1.

Type: Long

Default value: 1

• TextQualiferCode [in,optional]

The text qualifier, which specifies whether or not string values are quoted.

Type: TextImportQualifier

Default value: scTextImportQualifierNone

• TreatConsecutiveSeparatorsAsOne [in,optional]

Whether to treat consecutive separators as a single separator. This parameter defaults to False.

Type: Boolean

Default value: False

• CaseNamesFromFirstColumn [in,optional]

Whether or not to import the first column in the text file as the case names. This parameter defaults to False.

Type: Boolean

Default value: False

• VariableNamesFromFirstRow [in,optional]

Whether or not to import the first row in the text file as the variable names. This parameter defaults to False.

Type: Boolean

Default value: False

• TrimLeadingSpace [in,optional]

Whether or not to trim spaces after the imported cell values.

Type: Boolean

Default value: False

• IgnoreBlankLines [in,optional]

Whether or not to ignore blank lines. If this is set to False, then empty lines will be imported as rows of missing data.

Type: Boolean

Type: Boolean

Default value: False

• TreatDotAsMissingData [in,optional]

Whether or not values (cells) that are just periods should be imported as missing data. This is useful for importing text files exported from SAS.

Type: Boolean

Default value: False

• CreateTextVariable [in,optional]

Whether or not textual columns should be imported as text variables (rather than double variables with text labels). False is recommended for this parameter, unless the columns contain lengthy strings.

Type: Boolean

Default value: False

• Threshold [in,optional]
