Which data can IsisAscii handle?
ASCII delimited data can be formatted in very different ways. For example, MS Excel will probably output table data as follows:
Name;Street Address;City;Country;Phone
Green;Sunny street, 15;Waketown;Somewhere;+999 00 00
While MS Access could output the following format:
“Name”,”Street Address”,”City”,”Country”,”Phone”
“Green”,”Sunny street, 15”,”Waketown”,”Somewhere”,”+999 00 00”
In addition to the above ASCII delimited formats, there is a different one, called Tagged files, that are often produced by library management software. For example:
IsisAscii can be customized for handling most ASCII formats through a series of parameters, which are described in its user manual.
Open Source
IsisAscii is written in MS Visual Basic 6, using the ISIS_DLL. The source code is available for downloading here.
