Hi
When opening text files, you can specify the field format as either "Separator between fields" or "Fixed field widths".
But how do you specify the width of each field?
I would expect to be able to say character 1 to 20 would go to Column 1, character 22 to 50 to Column 2 etc. All you can work with is still field separators - which in my world does not make sense. If I have a date and time (containing a space) specified that I want to import to Column 1, and spaces in sentences for other fields disqualifies space as separator.
In fact, the file may not even contain a qualifying field separator - the logic could simply be line positioning.
Best regards,
Benny
