Specifies the title separately from the CSV format name.
Specifies a delimiter to separate the data items. The delimiter can include the following escape sequences. The delimiter is a string up to 39 character long.
\a |

\b |

\t |

Specifies a quotation mark to quote data items. The quotation mark can include the above escape sequences. The quotation mark must be exactly one character.
Specifies whether the delimiters should be allowed in quotes.
Specifies whether newline characters should be allowed in quotes.
Specifies whether delimiters and backslashes should be escaped by a backslash. This option allows a nonstandard CSV format, which does not allow delimiters in quotes.
Specifies the number of lines that are headings in a CSV document.
The number specifies the maximum number of lines to detect as a CSV document. When a file is opened, EmEditor counts the number of delimiters in the number of lines specified here, and if all lines have the equal number of delimiters, the file is detected as the CSV document. Regardless of this option, the CSV document must be at least two lines. Moreover, CSV formats must be checked in the CSV files to Detect list box in the File page of configuration properties.
The number specifies the minimum number of delimiters to detect as a CSV document. For example, if one line contains only 3 delimiters in a CSV document, if the number in this text box is 3, this file would be detected as the CSV file. However, if the number in this text box is 4, the file would not be detected as the CSV file. Moreover, CSV formats must be checked in the CSV files to Detect list box in the File page of configuration properties.
The number specifies the line number of the first line to detect as a CSV document. For example, if the first 3 lines of a document do not contain delimiters, and if the number in this text box is 3, EmEditor would ignore the first 3 lines and dectect the rest of the document as the CSV file.
Specifies the maximum number of newlines that can be embedded in a cell. This option is only available if the Allow newlines in quotes option is set.
If this is checked, when the CSV mode is switched, EmEditor checks the validity of CSV, and displays issues and information in the Output bar when it detects errors or special status. If Allow newlines in quotes check box is checked, and if embedded newlines are detected, it will displays the information even if there are no issues.
Specifies whether separators can be dragged with the mouse only in headings and the ruler. If this is not checked, separators can be dragged everywhere in the document.
Specifies whether headings should be read only.
If this is checked, separator positions will be adjusted automatically when the document mode is switch to a CSV mode and other major edits have occurred.
If this is checked, separator positions can be adjusted only in the visible lines of the CSV document. If this is not checked, separator positions are adjusted from the first up to 1,000 lines.
If this is checked, double-clicking on a cell will allow you to edit the selected cell.
If this is checked, the Cell Selection Mode will be selected after a CSV document is opened.
If this is checked, a ballon tip will be displayed on Cell Selection button when the document mode is switch to a CSV mode.
If this is checked, the Cell toolbar appears when a CSV document is active and the cell selection mode is selected.
If this is checked, EmEditor automatically sets focus to the cell toolbar.
If this is checked, EmEditor automatically adjusts the height of the cell toolbar.
If this is checked, EmEditor automatically displays the column header when a CSV document is opened.
Uses alphabetical characters for the column header.
Uses zero-based numerical characters for the column header.
If this is checked, AutoFill handle will be displayed at the bottom right corner of the selected cell border under the CSV selection mode. You can drag the handle to continue a series or pattern into neighboring cells. Double-clicking the AutoFill handle while the selected cell is at the top of the CSV document, the above behavior can be applied to the entire column of the document.
If this is checked, you can drag a border of the selected cell(s) to move or copy the selection. While the whole column(s) or line(s) are selected, dropping with the SHIFT key reorders the column(s) or line(s).
If this is checked, EmEditor keep the number of columns same while editing in the cell selection mode.
If this is checked, pressing the TAB key to go to the next cell will cause a new cell created if the current cell is the rightmost cell.
If this is checked, double-clicking the header or line numbers causes EmEditor to create a new column or line.
If this is checked, double-clicking outside of editable cells will cause EmEditor to create a new cell.
