| 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 ('.'). |
