The ASCII Editor option in the Edit menu opens a special TableCurve Studio ASCII Editor window designed specifically for editing the program's X,Y,Z data table as an ASCII text file. For editing and copying contents of the various text windows within TableCurve Studio, there is an ASCII Editor item in the menu of the specific text window of concern. This data table ASCII Editor option is provided for those who prefer to input or edit a data table as a simple ASCII file using a familiar NotePad-like editor.

Size Limitations

This editor can handle any size data table up to TableCurve Studio's 65536 maximum.e

Notebook

When the ASCII Editor is opened, its contents will reflect the current data table. You may edit the data or you may open and edit any ASCII file. When you exit the editor, you must save the modified file to disk in order to have the data source automatically added to the notebook.

Editing Guidelines

You must keep the X, Y, and Z values for a given data triplet on a single line. If you wish to exclude a data pair, enter a space and an asterisk (*) character after the Z value. If you wish to assign a weight, enter a space and an uppercase W followed by the numeric weight value. You may insert comments anywhere in the file so long as the comment strings do not begin with *, W, or a number. All information on a line following the detection of a comment is disregarded.
