The history, favorites and scripts can be exported (written) to CSV files. And these can be imported (read) from CSV files. These functions is found in the menu of each screen.
The CSV file created for export has the structure of following example. The first row should be the header (id/text/title/date). The CSV file opened for import should have the same header row.
| id | text | title | date |
| 19 | Clip Text A | Ex.1 | 2018-11-22 01:23:45 |
| 21 | Clip Text B | Ex.2 | 2018-11-22 01:34:56 |
| 22 | Clip Text C | Ex.3 | 2018-11-22 01:45:01 |
The 'id' is the identification number. The 'text' is the text content. The 'title' is the title of the text. And the 'date' is the access date.
In the import, if the 'id' is matched to an existing row, the row is updated. If it is not matched to an existing row, or it is the null string, a new row is inserted. If the 'date' is the null string, it is set as the import date.
The default format of the export (write out) file is CSV (Comma Separated Values). The Comma is used for the separator. However, when the file extension is changed to "TSV", the Tab is used for the separator. And, when the file extension is changed to "TXT", the Space is used for the separator. On the other hand, the format of import (read in) file is determined from the separator(Comma, Tab, Space) used in the header line.
