LARGE TEXT FILE EDITOR DRIVER
The settings specified in a schema information file ( schema.ini), which are used by the Microsoft ODBC Text driver for storing data description information, are honored and help determine how the text file should be displayed. When implementing delimited text file information to display in ArcGIS Pro, the most common cases for displaying text files are supported. You must edit the field names in delimited text files to remove any single double quotes and either remove them or replace them with another character. The only character that is not supported is a single double quote. See the Field names section in Define fields in tables. Field namesįield names for ASCII and text files follow the same conventions as field names for geodatabase feature classes.
To display the contents of the text file in a format other than decimal degrees, use the Convert Coordinate Notation tool to convert the coordinate information. See Supported notation formats for a list of these formats, including a detailed description of the supported notation. The numeric information stored is supported in text files in many different formats. For example, when you open a text file with two text fields called Lat and Lon, two fields are added: Lat_D and Lon_D. In the case of double-field text fields, such as latitude and longitude, the original fields are maintained along with two new fields to contain the converted decimal degree coordinate information. For example, when you open a text field called UTM, there are three fields: UTM, UTM_X, and UTM_Y. In the case of single-field formats, such as UTM, the original UTM field is maintained, and two fields are added, appended with _X and _Y and display the coordinate information in decimal degrees. For example, if the coordinate information is stored in a text field in degrees, minutes, and seconds (for example, -120 13 58), it is converted and displayed in decimal degrees. Sometimes the information you need is stored in a different format or naming convention. In the example above, the coordinate information was straightforward and easy to recognize, contained in fields x and y.

If a delimited text file contains data coordinate information, such as x,y data, ArcGIS Pro recognizes the coordinate information as numeric fields that can be used to display your information either as a layer or as input to tasks, such as geocoding. The following is an example of a comma-delimited text file:Ĩ.01,44.3,003,orange How coordinate information is determined Use commas or tabs to delineate the columns. The first row of a text file can contain the column headings, and the subsequent rows can contain coordinates and attributes. tab extension to differentiate text files with delimited data from unformatted text files.
