I have an 82-line text file which has 5 columns separated by pipes. '|', and a wide column with location names. Text file format examples:
10775 | Santiam R. at Jefferson Bridge | 1979-11-06 | 2011-01-06 | 67 10386 | Middle Fork Willamette R. at asper Bridge | 1979-11-06 | 2011-01-05 | 66 29043 | Willamette R. at Willamette Park boat ramp/Corvallis | 2002-10-02 | 2011-01-06 | 60 26339 | Willamette R. upstream of Newberg Bridge at Rogers Landing | 2002-10-01 | 2011-01-13 | 59 10344 | Willamette R. at Wheatland Ferry | 1980-02-07 | 2011-01-10 | 58 29044 | Willamette R. at Greenway bike bridge/Eugene | 2002-10-02 | 2011-01-04 | 52 10379 | Coast Fork Willamette R. at Hwy 58 | 1979-11-06 | 2011-01-05 | 50 10821 | Willamette R. at St. Johns Bridge | 2004-08-04 | 2011-01-11 | 48 10355 | Willamette R. at Hwy 99E (Harrisburg) | 1980-02-06 | 2011-01-04 | 46 31731 | Willamette R. at Wallace Marine Park boat ramp | 2005-05-31 | 2011-01-10 | 44 27986 | Middle Fork Willamette R above Hills Crk at USGS Gage 14144800 | 2002-10-03 | 2011-01-05 | 44 (N.B. Line length is 110 characters so it likely will be wrapped at different lengths, depending on which MUA you use.) In LyX this will be a long table in landscape orientation among pages in portrait orientation. What is the most efficient procedure to import this to a 5-column, 83-row table? And, can I define the table size without dragging the table icon off the bottom of the monitor? TIA, Rich
