MapInfo Pro also allows you to export your tabular data to a delimited ASCII file. This file can later be edited with a text editor or imported into another package. When you export to ASCII, MapInfo Pro displays the Delimited ASCII Information dialog box, where you choose your delimiter character. You can also choose to have the first row of the ASCII file become column titles.
MapInfo Pro also displays a dialog box that you use to indicate the character set for the exported ASCII file. Different platforms use different character sets. MapInfo Pro must know the platform where you are going to use the exported file in order to provide the appropriate character set. No graphical data is exported to ASCII.
