Exporting a text file
When you export to a delimited text file, fields of information are separated
by commas (,) and entries (records) by returns. Column headings with the
names of each field are included at the top of the file.
You can change the characters used to separate fields and entries in the text
file, and you can add or remove column headings. See “Setting Miscellaneous
Options” in Chapter 10, “Setting Advanced Options,” for more information.
The following is another example of a delimited text file.
