Long table from file
Hi, This is my problem. I have to include a list of results in my thesis, i.e. a table with 120 lines and 5 columns, taken from a file (results.txt, an ASCII file, 120 lines and 5 columns obviously :-) ). Is there a way to insert files in LyX/LaTeX "Tables"? Is it automatically split over pages? How can I do ? Thanks a lot Emanuele

Is there a way to insert files in LyX/LaTeX "Tables"? Is it automatically split over pages? How can I do ? Yes to both questions! Well you probably want to know how to do this too, isn't it? :) You have to create first a tabular with exactly 120 rows and 5 columns. Set the longtable option in the table-layout-menu so it splits automatically on more pages. After that put the cursor in the first table cell and use: Import-Insert Ascii File-As Lines Select your file and click ok and you're done :) Obviously the file has to be in a tab-separated-value format!!! This means something like this: data first celltabdata second celltab...tabdata 5 cellreturn data first celltabdata second celltab...tabdata 5 cellreturn ... data first celltabdata second celltab...tabdata 5 cellreturn Hope this helps!
