Tab-separated values format

You can convert or export tab-separated values files.

To import tab-separated values files, use the Custom-separated values format and specify Tab as the field delimiter.

Converting tab-separated values files

You can choose whether FileMaker Pro Advanced uses a specified row of data in the file as field names.

All fields are text fields.

Exporting tab-separated values files

FileMaker Pro Advanced exports plain text. (The exported file does not include font and style information.) The tab character separates fields, the carriage return character separates records.

Tabs in fields are converted to spaces.

Carriage return characters in a field export as vertical tab characters.

Values in repeating fields are separated by the group separator character.
