Windows

The file type selection filters the list of files displayed in the window. The example in Figure 2.2 shows

an

Open Data File window with the file type drop-down list selected. Once a file is selected, the win-

dow displays the name, rows, columns and notes, if they exist.

If

*.* is chosen from the drop down menu, JMP looks at the type of file given by the 3-character exten-

sion appended to its filename and opens it accordingly. This works as long as the file has the structure

indicated by its name.
