PlainSave - Data Structure Documentation

This page provides examples cases of correct and incorrect data structure.

• Data structure consists of three columns - ID, Tag and Value.
• There are two patterns:

Pattern 1 (ID|tag|"value")

Pattern 2 (ID|tag|subtag||"value")

Rules:

• General:
  • Header (ID|tag|subtag||"value") must not be altered in any way.
• IDs
  • IDs must be sequential unique numbers stating from zero (0, 1, 2...).
  • IDs must not be surrounded double quotes or contain any other characters or spaces
• Tags
  • Tags can be either unique or shared.
  • Spaces are allowed.
• Value
  • Value has two use patterns (see above).
  • Value must be surrounded by quotes regardless of the pattern
  • Value can hold an additional tag, separated by a subtag ("||"). In this case, only the latter part should be within quotes.
