Altova XMLSpy 2025 Enterprise Edition

Method: ImportFromText(pImportSettings as TextImportExportSettings,pElementList as ElementList) as Document

Description

ImportFromText imports the text file as specified in pImportSettings. The parameter pElementList can be used as import filter. Either pass the   list returned by a previous call to GetTextImportElementList or null to import all columns. To avoid import of unnecessary columns use ElementList.RemoveElement to remove the corresponding field names from pElementList before calling ImportFromText.

The method returns the newly created document containing the imported data. This document is the same as the active document of XMLSpy.
