8 | Datafiles are record files. If the first line of the data file (in record 0) |
||
9 | does not start with '.' or ':', it will be considered as the title and |
||
10 | treated accordingly. Otherwise the title will default to the file base name. |
||
11 | |||
10895 | obado | 12 | The index of datafile is in the file Dataindex of the module. |
13 | This is a multi-line structure, each line corresponding to a data file. |
||
14 | A line has 3 columns separated by comma: |
||
15 | first is the file's base name, |
||
16 | the second the title, |
||
17 | and the 3rd counts the records in the file. |
||
18 | |||
19 | The content of the datafile records can be of any format. |
||
20 | The record 0 can contain any metadata of the file. |
||
21 | Lines in record 0 other than the title line should start with a dot ('.'). |
