8.7 Data Table Object

8.7.1 Overview

The Data Table object exposes the underlying table support functions to read CSV and HTML in the form of a two-dimensional table. This differs from Data Sheet and other CSV data objects in that the incoming data is mapped and the source is never actually loaded into memory thus allowing very large files to be explored and processed.

Data Table is meant as a read only object meant to load and digest CSV and HTML.

The maximum size of a data cell is 1mb. The source size is effectively unlimited when used inside an x64 application.

8.7.2 Operation

Information can be loaded into the object using the DataTableCreateObject function which, if successful, will return a Data Table Object Handle. That handle can then be used to interrogate the object.

Alternatively, data can be loaded into a temporary object and immediately returned in as string table.
