Fielded Text is a proposed standard which provides structure and schema definition to text files which contain tables of values (for example, CSV files). The standard allows the format and structure of the data within the text file to be specified by a ''Meta'' file. This Meta file can then be used to access the data in the file in manner similar to which data is accessed in a database. ==Meta files== The Meta files are XML files/streams which describe how the fielded text file is structured and how the data in fields is formatted. The information it contains is analogous to the Meta information for a database. The Meta contains the following groups of information * Main Section which specifies properties applying to the whole text file. * Field Sections which specify the properties of each field of data used within the text file * Substitution Sections which specify which substitutions are used within the text file. Substitutions are similar to Escape Sequences used in some CSV files (e.g. \n). * Sequence Sections. A Fielded Text file can have lines with different sets of fields depending on the value of a key field(s). The Sequence Sections in the Meta File specify the sequence of fields which can follow a key field. Meta files typically have a file extension of "ftm" 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fielded text」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
