Mixed Quote and Comma Delimitation

The Mixed Quote and Comma delimitation method is the default setting for BarTender because it works with comma delimited, as well as quote and comma delimited files. In a standard delimited dBASE text file, numeric fields are normally delimited by commas, while character string fields are delimited by double quotation marks and commas. Assuming that the first field of each line is a numeric field in your dBASE program, the data saved to the file would look like this:

Since there are four lines in the file, four different items with three different types of data would be printed.
