External Mapping File Separator

  • Last UpdatedJun 13, 2025

The separator character for the external mapping files may be either a space or a comma. Using the variables below, you can indicate their choice.

Note: All the files of the same type (either Material, Orientation or Profile) must use the same separator consistently: you cannot have some Material files space separated, while others are comma separated.

There is a third file format for Profile mapping files. The BLOCK format is described elsewhere and is indicated here with !!bocBlockSep. Block formatted files are pre-processed by a separate tool for more efficient reading and parsing.
