File formats ASCII text format

The most important feature of editing software is the option to save the structure in standard file formats which contain information about the structure (e,g., Mol-filc. PDB-filc). Most of these file formats arc ASCII text files (which can be viewed in simple text editors) and cover international standardized and normalized specifications of the molecule, such as atom and bond types or connectivities (CT) (see Section 2,4). Thus, with these files, the structure can be exchanged between different programs. Furthermore, they can seiwe as input files to other chemical software, e.g, to calculate 3D structures or molecular properties. 

The disk contains over 120 models in files that may contain source and executable code, sample input lilcs, other data files, sample output files, and in many cases, model documentation in WordPerfect, ASCII text or other formats. The disk contains IMES with information on >clecting tin appropriate model, literature citations on validation of models in actual applications, and a demonstration of a model uncertainty protocol. 

PDF stands for Portable Document Format, which is an open document description language created by Adobe Systems Inc. PDF files have several advantages over RTF and ASCII text files ... 

You can see how the (pipe) character is entered as the delimiter in the Options dialog box. If you have more complex requirements for the ASCII text file you want to export, you can invoke External File Interface in the Select Export Type window, write customized DATA step code with FILE and PUT statements, or use some of the ODS tagsets supplied by SAS, found at http //support.sas.com/md/base/topics/odsmarkup/, that have the ability to create numerous types of ASCII text formats. 

You may find that you need to export your SAS data as something other than regular ASCII text or Microsoft Office files. In this case, the export wizards in the SAS windowing environment in SAS 9 and SAS Enterprise Guide 3.0 can easily export the following file formats ... 

Other employers that accept electronic resumes request that the documents be created and saved in a specific file format, such as Microsoft Word, Rich Text Format, or ASCII. When creating an electronic resume, adhere exactly to the formatting specifications provided by the employer or career-related website. 

Many companies accept electronic resumes in Microsoft Word or WordPerfect file formats. When creating your electronic resume using one of these software packages, pay careful attention to what format the finished document needs to be saved in before sending it to an employer. The majority of employers prefer to receive resumes in ASCII or Rich Text Format. Once you save your resume in a file format other than the program s proprietary format, you will probably have to further edit it in order to fix lost formatting (such as indentation or italics). 

Once you ve entered all of the information within the resume template, you can save the document just as you would any other Word document. Move the cursor to the File pull-down menu and click on the Save option. You can then enter a filename and choose the file format in which you want your resume saved. The default option is in Word format, but you can also save the file in Text Rich Format, Text Only Format (ASCII), formats compatible with older versions of Word, or as a WordPerfect file. Printing the document is as easy as selecting the Print option from the File pull-down menu. 

During the MultiCASE prediction, the output of the prediction is displayed in a text window on the screen (Figure 4c). This text will be automatically saved in an ASCII-file with a dat-file format. In parallel a second ASCII-file with a dat-file format will be saved when the prediction for a batch of molecules is performed, containing a short summary of all molecules (Figure 5). 

In a GC-MS or LC-MS metabonomics experiment each file represents a single biological sample. The basic goal of data processing is to transform raw data files to a standard and uniform format so that statistical analyses can be carried out. A variety of instrument vendors utilize different proprietary data formats. Thus, the first step in data processing requires a conversion of such raw proprietary data into common raw data format such as ASCII text or binary netCDF. More recently, a universal mzXML format has become more popular. Many vendor instrument software packages contain scripts to allow for such a file conversion [76],... 

A commercial spreadsheet is well suited to editing CD data files. Most CD data analysis software permits a data file to be exported as text. The text file can then be imported into the spreadsheet, easily formatted for CDsstr input and saved as undeliniited ASCII text. Delete, rather than cut, data cells to remove unwanted text/data. 

MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheets) at the University of Utah An archive of unlicensed/unrestricted publicly distributable Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) in ASCII text file format. The text files are given the common or product name of the material. 

A number of file formats exist which serve different purposes in the area of textual data exchange. The simplest of them is of course plain 7-bit ASCII, and also ISO 8859-x text exchange is quite portable. The shortcomings of these text formats are that they neither support stylistic attributes nor content-based markup. 

Standard VRML files are readable ASCII text. A binary compressed file format is still being discussed. The color, material, and lighting model of VRML is the same as the OpenGL graphics library model. This model is powerful, although very expensive imaging features, such as shadows... 

The PDB file format is governed by a published standard that is slowly changing to reflect the nature and quantity of data submitted. The current format is that of ASCII-encoded text partitioned into typed 80-character records. Only PDB files directly supplied by Brookhaven are assured of having all of these data properly formatted the PDB standard is manipulated by many third-party software developers as an interchange format, and extremely wide variations may be seen in both the canonical PDB record structure and overall PDB format One legitimate format variation is in support of entries with coordinates derived by solution NMR whereas the standard X-ray-derived PDB entry contains a single structure or conformer, the majority of NMR-derived PDB entries are ensemble collections of multiple conformers this provides access to the individual computed structures, but the format has proven troublesome to some third-party format translators. 

PCMODEL also reads and writes files imported from many other types of molecular calculation programs (including MM2, MM3, MOPAC, Gaussian, Macromodel, Alchemy, Sybyl, and Chem-3D), so you can create and edit your preferred structure calculation files. Alternatively, you can use the PCM file format, an easily readable, free-format file that maintains all structure information including substructure names and membership, atomic charge, and user-specified minimization parameters. Since these files are ASCII text files, they can be transferred to another computer as input to calculations on another system. 

In preparing an NBO input file, it is important to use an ordinary text editor (rather than Word or other word processor) in order to scrupulously avoid tabs or other control characters embedded in the plain-ASCII text file. Unseen control characters, corresponding to ASCII characters outside the printable range 32-126, cause unpredictable errors in processing the input file. Check also that text-file format is consistent between the platform on which the input file was prepared and that under which the... 

The program uses two ASCII input files for the SCF and properties stages of the calculation. There is a text output file as well as a number of binary or ASCII data files that can be created. The geometry is entered in fractional coordinates for periodic dimensions and Cartesian coordinates for nonperiodic dimensions. The user must specify the symmetry of the system. The input geometry must be oriented according to the symmetry axes and only the symmetry-unique atoms are listed. Some aspects of the input are cumbersome, such as the basis set specification. However, the input format is documented in detail. 

If you re using Microsoft Word to create your resume and then save it in ASCII format, use the "Save As" feature found under the File pull-down menu. When asked for the "Save As Type" (under the filename), choose "Text Only." If your document contains special formatting, or symbols such as bullets, you may be asked if you want the software to fix your document and edit it so it fits properly into the ASCII format. Choose "Yes" to ensure your document will be easily readable. Much of the formatting will be lost, so you should review and edit the text file yourself. 

To facilitate the validation process on the basis of the above approach, the MS electronic data is contributed to the OPCW Laboratory in any of the following electronic formats JCAMP, NIST ASCII, AMDIS, and NIST MS Database. Contributing laboratories provide mostly the NIST MS Database format, with structures. The OPCW Code and the Schedule number are placed in the synonym field of the database. The file is submitted to the OPCW Laboratory either as the NIST MS User Database or the corresponding set of text files representing the MSP (Spectral) and MOL (Structure) information. The NIST MS Search/Analysis programs are used for the management of the MS electronic data and also GC(RI) once merged with the MS data.
