Delimited :
We can select the file type Delimited exist in the source file to identify between the columns.
There are 3 quoting techniques:
1). Standard
2). MSQ: usually we use this, as this is standard across the industry. That is just use single or double
inverted commas to identify the length of the field.
3). None

header size in Qlik can remove the empty lines.

Exploit : when you want to explicitly specify the column names, these are used.

Ignore EOF : sometimes it happens your custom source would have an End of file to mark, there
might be some more data after EOF character, so we can tell the Qlik view to ignore it and to take
up rest of the data also.

Transformation :
Delete Marked: In the transformation step there is option Delete marked, it
is enabled when you select any row and delete it.
