CSPro Users Forum

I am trying to read a tab-delimited file into a CSPro DCF but seems not possible. Is there a standard way to read these files? I have tried to equate a tab to a single space but does not recognise that instead I get a small box displaying where the tab is. Even at http://www.csprousers.org/ , no one has come up with this problem?

I have attached a sample data and the intended DCF.

CSPro will read in the tab as a single space. The problem is that your data file wasn't correct. For example, your BLANK field starts at position 12, but if you look at your file, it should start at position 11 (ID is nine digits, not ten). Perhaps you don't mean to have a record type, which is moving all your data one position to the right.

If your file is set up properly, you can read in tabs.
