Delimited text export settings

Fields and options for downloading the data as a delimited text file.

The delimited text export settings allow you to customize an exported file to suit your needs. Depending on the defined fields and options, the file extension of the exported file will generally be either .csv, .txt, or .zip

Field Separator
The options in this section define the character used to separate adjacent columns in the text file.
Comma

Tab
Columns in each row of the table are separated by a tab in the text file.
Space
Columns in each row of the table are separated by a space in the text file.
Colon

Semicolon

Vertical Bar

Row Separator
The options in this section define the record (row) separator character. The separator is used to indicate the end of each row of the table in the text file.

The row separator is a sequence of one or more characters used to specify the boundary between separate, independent regions in plain text files. In general, the two most commonly used record delimiters in the Insights Platform are CRLF (Windows newline) and LF (Unix/OS X Newline).

Windows Newline (CRLF)
The last column in each row of the table is indicated by the Carriage Return Line Feed (CRLF) row separator in the text file.

The CRLF ('\r\n', 0x0D 0x0A) row separator is used in Microsoft Windows, DOS (MS-DOS, PC DOS, etc.), DEC TOPS-10, RT-11, CP/M, MP/M, Atari TOS, OS/2, Symbian OS, Palm OS, Amstrad CPC, and most other early non-Unix and non-IBM OSes. Select this option for PC files.

Unix/OS X Newline (LF)
The last column in each row of the table is indicated by the Line Feed (LF) row separator in the text file.

The LF ('\n', 0x0A) row separator is used in Multics, Unix and Unix-like systems (Linux, OS X, FreeBSD, AIX, Xenix, etc.), BeOS, Amiga, RISC OS, and others.

macOS 9 Newline (CR)
The last column in each row of the table is indicated by the Carriage Return (CR) row separator in the text file.

The CR ('\r', 0x0D) row separator is used in macOS 9.
