Import global variables of a CSV file

Use Project > Import > Variables of a CSV file > Global variables... to import variables from a text file into the global variable list. The text data has to be in CSV (Character Separated Values) format. This means that the individual entries are separated by commas ‘,’ or semicolons ‘;’. (The separator can be set under Extras > Options > Program options > CSV export).

NOTE

The import of local variables is not possible.

  1. Project > Import > Variables of a CSV file > Global variables...
  2. Select path
  3. Select file name
  4. Open

    You can import any CSV file. The dialog CSV import global variable list appears.

    The following options are available in the dialog:

    A new GVL with the name GVL is created in the GVL pool of your project which contains the imported global variables.

NOTE
  • If an identifier already exists in a global variable list, _copy1, _copy2... will be appended to the existing identifier.

  • If a GVL with the name GVL already exists in your project, a new GVL GVL_1conflict! is created to separate the existing GVL from the imported GVL.

  • Use Compile all... to detect overlapping addresses after the import.
