Yes, Prime can do that.

 

Look up the function READTEXT in the help of Prime.

Here's an example, based off the pdf file (and starting with the line containing #EOH= ) :

Results in:

etc.

what does '' delimited'' do?

 

And  should I write my file name instead of '' File'' ?

 

Thanks 

As Luc said, look up READTEXT in Help: https://support.ptc.com/help/mathcad/r10.0/en/#page/PTC_Mathcad_Help/text_files.html

 

You'd write your file name in quotes.

Delimited says how the data is structured in the file (how Mathcad is supposed to know when a new column begins and the old one ends). In the case of his example, a space (" ") is the delimiter.

I manage the Creo and PTC Mathcad YouTube channels for PTC, as well as all PTC Mathcad marketing in general.
