You can create it using a text editor (such as Notepad or WordPad) or a word processor, providing you save the document in text form. When Match-IT is installed a suitable text editor, called FoldIt, is placed in your ...\match_it\sys directory.

In most cases the report text files will be automatically created by the software system that is providing the information to be imported. Consult the documentation of that system to find out how to do this.

For completeness the syntax of a typical report text file is given here:

ReportTextFile        ::= { Page }

Page                        ::= PageHeader { Group } PageFooter

Group                        ::= GroupHeader { GroupDetail } GroupFooter

GroupDetail                ::= { Field }
