Currently each single occurrence of a delimiter moves to the next field 2) the ability to use fixed column width import in the database 3) The ability to not import blank lines [The background for this is I was send a 12000 line ascii file to import. I couldn't use Calc, because the 12000 lines were more than 65536 rows (hence the thirdrequest), although the fixed column width in excel was just what I needed.

A fourth request is 4) the ability to specify "white space" (ie tab or space) as a delimiter (and have multiple ones treated as a single...) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
