4. Click Next when you are ready to proceed. The Step 2: Field Delimiter screen appears.
Delimiters are used to separate the data items in a database (the columns in the database table)
when transporting the database to another application. For example, a comma-separated values
file (CSV file) is one in which each value in the cells of a table row is delimited by and separated
from the next value by a comma. The beginning of a row is indicated by a new line character.
5. Specify the field Delimiter used in the file from which you are importing data. This will always be
a comma for .csv files, but any of the characters shown in the list box can be used with .txt files.
The preview window at the bottom of the screen will show you if your selected Delimiter is correct
by displaying each column the system finds in your file when using that Delimiter. If all the data is
in one column of the preview pane, you have not selected the right Delimiter.
Select the First row contains column headings option only if the first record of the file you are
importing does not contain actual data. Import cannot remove subtotals, section headers, or any
other records within the file that do not match the format of the actual data records. These must
be removed before you attempt the import.
