How to import ASCII file format into Unscrambler?

  1. Open Unscrambler and select menu File - Import - ASCII or File - Import 3D - ASCII.

  2. ASCII files can be formatted two ways.

    D16
  3. The ASCII Stream file contains data only (no names) and there is no formatting that indicates the number columns and rows.
  4. The size must be specified beforehand.
  5. The ASCII Block file indicates its size using line feed characters to end each row.
  6. It can contain column and/or row names, in which case column names occupy the first line (row) of the file while the row names introduce each of following lines of data.

    D17

  7. If relevant, click OK to access the next dialog "Import 3-D" where you will specify your 3-D table layout (see the Unscrambler help, Import 3-D Dialog for a detailed description).
