BDO Tools

Merge Adjacent Delimiters

When the Merge Adjacent Delimiters control is selected, the Add Fields tool, during a subsequent Check, merges adjacent delimiters before inserting / appending fields.

The merging of adjacent delimiters is performed internally by the Add Fields tool and the contents of the input file are not altered.

Example

If an input file contains the following lines:

xxx (1, "abc", ,,, 101, rst);
xxx (2, "def", ,, 202, uvw);
xxx (3, "ghi", , 303, xyz);

the Add Fields tool effectively treats the input lines as:

xxx (1, "abc", , 101, rst);
xxx (2, "def", , 202, uvw);
xxx (3, "ghi", , 303, xyz);

during a subsequent Check when the Merge Adjacent Delimiters control is selected.
