Template editor:
- You can now specify a character for data separation: fVF(data file, lookup value, column#[, separator character])
- You can now use a preferred column separator of choice. Previously, it was possible to use only spaces as separators.
This enables the support for spaces in names, profiles, shapes, and so on, as well as the use of distance lists as input.
- You can also use blank or empty strings as input.
- Leading and trailing white space is dropped.
- Template Editor supports several separators, so " ,;\t" would make all the space, comma, semi-colon, and tab characters separators.
