File Structure - Techniques Avancees CODESOFT Sentinel Print Pack User Manual

Note 2: The print documents will be processed, then erased. Docu-
ments that do not conform to the method of analysis will be de-
stroyed automatically.
We therefore recommend specifying a directory that will be dedicated en-
tirely to the ASCII file sentinel for CODESOFT.

File Structure

ASCII files can consist either of direct and/or table assignments (see
Chapter 2).
ASCII files require neither headers nor start and end-of-line delimiters.
However, it is essential to enter a hard return (CRLF characters) at the end
of each line in the file.
Note: some delimiters are configured by default:
the assignment delimiter is defined by the "=" character;
the data separation delimiter is defined by the "," character; and
the end-of-label delimiter is defined by the "END" character.
However, all of the above parameters can be redefined from the
Sentinel.ini file in the CODESOFT installation directory:
Affect ==,
SepData = ,
SepLabel = END.
Appendix 2 of Chapter 7 presents and discusses a sample print document
for a Print sentinel.
