Columns and rows can be cut, copied, and pasted to and from plain-text files.
Cut and Copy
-
Select the rows or columns you want to cut or copy.
-
Choose Edit → Cut or Edit → Copy to cut or copy the selection.
Note: When cutting or copying rows or columns, Delimited places plain-text onto the clipboard in CSV or TSV format. This allows you to easily transfer valid CSV or TSV data to a text editor or other apps. You can also paste the data directly back into Delimited to duplicate your selection.
Tip: Use shortcuts for faster access to Cut and Copy
- Press ⌘X to cut rows or columns.
- Press ⌘C to copy rows or columns.
Paste
-
Choose Edit → Paste to paste your clipboard data into the table.
Tip: By default, Delimited will append your clipboard as rows at the bottom of the table. To paste column data, ensure you select a column before pasting. Rows and columns will always be inserted below or after the current selection.
Note: If your clipboard contains text that does not comply with the RFC 4180 specification, you will receive an error message detailing the issue and pinpointing the column and row where the problem occurred (formatted in zero-based numbering).
Note: If your clipboard data exceeds the current table size, Delimited will automatically add the necessary rows and columns to accommodate the new data.
