Notes:

• For a full reference to the structure, required and optional columns, and file extensions of CSV-based formats (including fileset-compatible and export-only formats), see Text data files. Some text data CSV files can be both exported and re-added to a fileset, though optional columns may be ignored unless specifically supported.
• Pre Echoview 11 *.csv data exports have a space after every comma to improve readability. As a consequence, the first data column contains no leading space, but subsequent data columns do have a leading space. Leading spaces are ignored by Echoview when reading *.csv data files. Post Echoview 11 *.csv data exports contain no leading space; the exception is a leading space for time data, where a space is required for correct time handling by Excel.
• From Echoview 4.90, to achieve consistency for the decimal separator, date and times in export files, Echoview uses the format associated with the Windows Control Panel > Regional and Language Options setting - English (United States). This may affect users with a Regional and Language Options setting that significantly differs from English (United States) such that (exported) files may contain an unfamiliar decimal separator, or unfamiliar date or time format.

Text export settings files (*.txt)

You can export Variable Properties dialog box values to a text file. On the Dataflow window select a variable and on the Shortcut menu select Export Settings. See also COM ExportSettings.

The settings named in the export file may be different for different variables.

The Export Option describes the export format.

Note: Variables that use lines or surfaces on the Analysis page or similar, identify the item as: Variable, ID #. ID # is the number of the item in the Dataflow window Object list. ID 1 is the first item in the Object list.
