hhVehOwnRelProp_hhs[hhs] = import (; data="1.03 2.01 2.32 2.38 2.41 2.41 2.31")

This is an example of importing into a very simple mask variable, zoneMask[z], indexed by a single pre-defined informant, zone. Here is the top of the source data file zonesMask.csv:

"zone","maskValue"
201,1
202,1
211,0
212,1
213,0
214,1
.
.
.

And here is the code:

zoneMask[z] = import (; dataFormat=coordinate, fileFormat=text, \
	allCoord=on, delimiter=",", firstLine=2, \
	file=$importDir/zonesMask.csv)

Note:

• the use of the firstLine=2 parameter to skip over the header row
• no element name modification is required

Alternatively one may use the heading parameter to skip over the first line:

zoneMask[z] = import (; dataFormat=coordinate, fileFormat=text, \
    allCoord=on, delimiter=",", heading=on, \
    file=$importDir/zonesMask.csv)

This format is useful for migrating data between models in a human-readable format, as opposed to binary tool-format files. Note the use of expForm and decimals parameters to preserve precision.

export (immigration[s,ts1,a]; dataFormat=odometer, fileFormat=text, \
	expForm=on, decimals=6, \
	file=$exportDir/immigration.txt)

produces the following (header not shown):

!	sex=male
! 	0		1		2
