The ASCII import reads data from an ASCII file into the Geocap project. ASCII import can be used for many types text data files, e.g. whether the data columns have fixed or variable width, and also whether the coordinates are in X Y or Lat Lon. When data is read into the project, it can be organized in a number of different ways. It is for example possible to tell Geocap to split the data into different dataset whenever a value in a specific file column changes. There are also options for folder generation meaning that Geocap can be told to create project folders whenever a column value changes. The ASCII import also has the ability to read more fields than X Y Z (text or numbers). In many cases the user will notice that when importing data in Geocap, the ASCII import will appear ready and pre-set to read the data in question. For instance, when reading UKOOA data, the ASCII import will appear properly adjusted to read UKOOA data - saving the user from having to set this from scratch.
