Characters to ignore

Type a list of characters into this field to filter unwanted characters from the input record. When you want to use a field delimiter that may also be a character in the input, such as a comma (,), then you have to use quotes (") to identify the input strings. However, you probably do not want to retain those quotation marks as part of the final results.

If you define the quotes as characters to ignore, they are removed. To define a tab or space as characters to ignore, select the corresponding check box.The value for this setting is set to ."'! (period, quotation mark, single quotation mark, and an exclamation point) by default.

Space

Select this checkbox if you want to ignore a Space character in addition to the characters specified in the Characters to ignore setting.

Word separation characters

If fields in the database contain compound words, common characters can be specified so that each part of the compound word is searched and evaluated separately. The value for this setting is set to " -," (space, hyphen, comma) by default.

For example, using the default settings, the compound word "Diagon-Alley," is treated as two words, "diagon" and "alley" that are searched and evaluated separately.

The separation characters must correspond to the delimiter characters that are defined for OCR.

Tab

Select this checkbox if you want to use a Tab as a word separation character in addition to the characters specified in the Word separation characters setting.

Space

Select this checkbox if you want to use a Space as a word separation character in addition to the characters specified in the Word separation characters setting.

Field delimiter

Type values into this field to specify what characters separate the import file content into individual fields. The value for this setting is set to ; (semicolon) by default.

Tab

Select this checkbox to use a Tab as a delimiter in addition to the characters specified in the Field delimiter setting.

Ignore Case

Select this option to convert all search and lookup strings to lower case, effectively ignoring case. This is the default setting.
