Converting Comma-Separated Text to FileMaker Pro • Field names are generic (f1, f2, f3, and so on). • All fields are text fields. Exporting Comma-Separated Text files Commas separate field values. Carriage return characters separate records. Quotation marks enclose all field values, except unformatted numbers. • Carriage return characters in a field export as vertical tab characters. • Values in repeating fields are separated by the group separator character. • Only numeric data is exported from number fields. Any non-numeric data such as text or symbols is not included in the exported data. • Quotation marks (") in a field (not curly quotes) export as double quotation marks ("").
