FieldGoal
Extracting a column from a text file
| [ | FieldGoal is a program for extracting a field (or column) from a text file. | ] |
Introduction
FieldGoal is a program for quickly extracting text in a column from a text file. In addition, the values extracted can be aligned to a single line of text by just one more click.
In the example illustrated below, we pasted some programming code from which we want to extract the column surrounded by a double-sided orange rectangle.
We will subsequently want to align the extracted values to align them and write the following code:
%let ds = Antropometria EncuestasGestantes EncuestasNino EstiloComer Frecuencia6aMas FrecuenciaMenos6 gestante heces Hemoglobina higiene home
madre MAESTRA ObservaComer Recor24H Recor24HConsulta Recor24HG RecorSubtabla RecorSubtablaG SaludMental Seguridad;
| This is easily done in a few clicks. First select the column from which you want to extract text by double-clicking one of its values |  |
| and then click Punt from the Action Center menu. |  |
| The extracted field values can then be aligned to a single line by clicking the 1-line Action Center menu item. |  |
Other options are described in the complete instruction manual.
