I’ve got a .txt file filled with information in 4 columns.
How can I create a tableview of this data?
Using files as data source,I did not find information on this topic using the search function

I hope somebody can help me to put the stuff into a tableview,
thanks in advance

When you say you have a text file filled with information in 4 columns, do you mean the columns are separated by tabs? If so you can read the file contents, create a list of lists (i.e.: {{“a”, “b”, “c”, “d”}, {“e”, “f”, “g”, “h”}, {“i”, “j”, “k”, “l”}}), and append that list (of lists) to your data source.

Hope this helps,
