Data Interchange Format - Example

Example

For example, assume we have two columns with one column header row and two data rows:

Text Number
hello 1
has a double quote " in text -3

In a .dif file, this would be:

TABLE 0,1 "EXCEL" VECTORS 0,2 "" TUPLES 0,3 "" DATA 0,0 "" -1,0 BOT 1,0 "Text" 1,0 "Number" -1,0 BOT 1,0 "hello" 0,1 V -1,0 BOT 1,0 "has a double quote "" in text" 0,-3 V -1,0 EOD

Famous quotes containing the word example:

    “Our intellect is not the most subtle, the most powerful, the most appropriate, instrument for revealing the truth. It is life that, little by little, example by example, permits us to see that what is most important to our heart, or to our mind, is learned not by reasoning but through other agencies. Then it is that the intellect, observing their superiority, abdicates its control to them upon reasoned grounds and agrees to become their collaborator and lackey.”
    —Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
