Working with Tab Delimited Files

Tab delimited text files are delimited (separated) by a tab character. Tab delimited files can be created using a spreadsheet such as Microsoft Excel or a text editor such as Notepad.

• The file must be saved in tab delimited format using a .txt extension.

Note: Uniform text file format may be required when using special characters. When exporting files created in Microsoft Excel, it is recommended that the file be exported as a Unicode text file.

Tab delimited files are imported one at a time.
