Complex Import Dialog

Complex Import Dialog

This dialog allows you to interactively select the destination of the data in a data file. Using this dialog can be tedious, but for a complex, non-formatted data file, it is much easier than typing all the data into the proper fields and is quite efficient and easy to use.

Complex Import Dialog

Here is how it works:

As each line of the import file is read into the program, it is displayed in the topmost edit control.
The line is "parsed" word by word. As each word is highlighted in the edit control, click on the button next to the Address Card field where you want the word to go.
At the end of the line or at any time you can add to or edit the fields by hand if desired.
When finished with the line, click on the Next Line button.

The "Eliminate trailing commas" checkbox, when checked, automatically strips commas or tab characters if they occurs at the end of words.
