Hi,
have some problems importing ASCII files with dates. Here is a snippet of the ASCII with the first columns being


Year MM DD hh mm ss.###
1981 1 1 4 13 55.710 3301565 33.25517 -115.96750 5.680 2.260 318 57 -168 37 39 18 0.17 0 0.00 C
1981 1 1 5 20 14.440 3301566 34.18600 -117.29733 6.490 2.370 0 49 -94 33 32 26 0.00 0 0.00 D
1981 1 1 5 39 56.460 3301567 34.18433 -117.29600 6.750 1.600 326 55 -163 44 47 13 0.00 0 0.00 D
1981 1 1 8 23 18.080 3301570 34.00633 -117.16200 15.350 1.880 348 70 -161 42 45 13 0.19 0 0.00 D

How can I correctly import these dates? I did not succeed with custom data formats like:
YYYY' 'MM' 'dd' 'hh' 'mm' 'ss.###'

Best regards,
Martin

Just again the ASCII, some spaces were missing due to HTML. I replaced spaces with underscores:


YYYY MM dd hh mm ss.###

Hi harzi,

As it seems the fields in each record has the fixed record, you can specify the length instead of
using delimiters. As shown in the screenshot below, be aware that the first column's designation is
"D" to indicate the date format to be used.

If you use the Delimiter mode, SPACES within the date would have conflict with the actual delimiters.



Hope this helps.
