List File ASCII Text Format
The file format for an ASCII text list file follows these rules:
• A line beginning with pound sign (#) is treated as a comment.
• Each event is saved on a single line in the text file.
• Individual fields of an event are separated by a comma (,).
• White spaces are allowed before and after field delimiters.
• Fields are case insensitive.
The format for each event is: Action, Clip Name, Start Time, Duration, Type,
Start Date, Comment [, other required fields depending on the action].
There are several other rules for list files saved as text:
• The first event in the list file has to be an absolute event, otherwise it is an
error.
• A follow event will be on the line following the parent event in the list file.
• Each event can have only one follow event.
• Empty lines will be ignored while parsing.
• An error occurs if all the fields for a particular type of event are not present.
• If an error is detected in any event while parsing the list file, the event list
will not be created for that file.
• The date field will be of the format mm/dd/yyyy.
• Time field (both start time and the duration) will be in the format
Hour:Min:Sec:Frames or Hour:Min:Sec.Frames.
• Allowed event actions are: Play, Record, Switch, Archive or Transfer.
• For play and record events, the Clip Name, Start Time, Start Date, Duration,
Comment will be saved in the list text file.
• For a switch event, Start Time, Start Date, Duration, Comment will be stored
in the list text file.
