Differences in format for Unicode files saved in Excel
If you use Notepad to open a Unicode text file that was saved in Excel, you will notice
some differences from a file edited and saved in Notepad.
The differences are:
 Double quotes surrounding the string definitions are removed for most strings.
 String definitions, containing embedded double quotes, or other characters that Excel
treats as special characters, such as commas, are enclosed within double quotes.
 Any embedded double quotes are converted to a pair of double quotes.
Saving a Unicode text file in Notepad
When saving the file, save it using the Unicode encoding option in the Save As dialog
box.
File schema
Comments
The text file uses the # symbol as a comment delimiter if it is the first character on a line.
Header
The first seven lines of the text file contain header information that must not be translated
or modified.
You do not have to change the format of the file before you import it into FactoryTalk View Studio.
