Application.GetTextImportElementList
Method: GetTextImportElementList(pImportSettings as TextImportExportSettings) as ElementList
Description
GetTextImportElementList retrieves importing information about the text-file as specified in pImportSettings. The function returns a collection of ElementListItems where the properties ElementListItem.Name contain the names of the fields found in the file. The values of remaining properties are undefined.
If the text-file does not contain a column header, set pImportSettings.HeaderRow to false. The resulting element list will contain general column names like 'Field1' and so on.
