Import text

Use this feature for finer control of the import options, as well as text editing.

Any changes made to the text or to the options are automatically applied, unless 'Auto sync' option is off. The preview of the data is in the bottom pane.

Datagrok tries to auto-detect parameters automatically, so vast majority of the datasets can be imported by simply dragging that file into the browser window, or opening it via the File | Open (Ctrl+O) command.

Options and commands:

Delimiter	Field separator
New line	New line
Decimal separator	Decimal separator
Thousands separator	Thousands separator
Headers	Treat first line as headers
Auto sync	Parse data on every change (might be slow if the table is big)
Load	Load file
Sync	Force synchronization
Done	Add the table to the workspace
