Using Fields in Templates
The most common use of templates is to parse data in a register. A template
defines the structure used to access data. The fields are either set to a fixed
length (formatted into columns in the data file), or they are allowed a variable
length with a separator (such as a comma) separating them. You can also use a
template to divide a register’s data into separate fields.
