• Input Filename: name of the input file containing AN-SNAP data items e.g. C:\SNAP\snap_source.csv
• Output Filename: name of the output file to create, which will contain the same data with the AN-SNAP class or error-class at the end of each line, e.g. C:\SNAP\snap_output.csv
• Error Filename: name of the error file to create, which will contain a list of the errors , e.g. C:\SNAP\snap_error.csv
• Has Header Line:
  • 0 - if your file does not have a header line
  • 1 - if your file does have a header line (this can be convenient for creating input files which are easy for a person to interpret)
  • Please note that the line_number reported in the error file is the literal line of the file in which the record occurred regardless of whether or not there is a header line. 
  • The only effect of the <has_header_line> option is to prevent QuickSnap from generating errors based on the first line.

QuickSnap will tell you if it was able to process the input file.  If successful, you will see the message:

...

If it was unable to read the input file, or create the output or error files, an error message will be displayed.And that's all!
