-ellipsis

(Merge only)

Specify the character to use for the ellipsis mark.

Syntax

-ellipsis character-in-hex|Y|N

Description

When a single line field overflows, Merge automatically supplies an ellipsis (…) character at the end of the amount of text that does fit into the space available. The character that is used by default is Unicode 0x2026. You can change that character by using this -ellipsis option. For example, if you wanted to see a plus sign (+), add the hex 2B.

-ellipsis 2B

(As of 3.2.001.12), the option for Y|N is available.  Y uses the default symbol of an ellipsis mark. And the N simply truncates the content with no symbol.

-ellipsis N

(Prior to 3.2.001.12) If you wanted to not see the ellipsis, you could specify it as the blank character codepoint -- hex 20.

-ellipsis 20
