## Description[​](#description "Direct link to Description")

Also prints two header rows with column names and types, similar to [TabSeparatedWithNamesAndTypes](/docs/interfaces/formats/TabSeparatedWithNamesAndTypes).

## Example usage[​](#example-usage "Direct link to Example usage")

### Inserting data[​](#inserting-data "Direct link to Inserting data")

Using the following txt file, named as `football.txt`:

```
row('date';'season';'home_team';'away_team';'home_team_goals';'away_team_goals'),row('Date';'Int16';'LowCardinality(String)';'LowCardinality(String)';'Int8';'Int8'),row('2022-04-30';2021;'Sutton United';'Bradford City';1;4),row('2022-04-30';2021;'Swindon Town';'Barrow';2;1),row('2022-04-30';2021;'Tranmere Rovers';'Oldham Athletic';2;0),row('2022-05-02';2021;'Port Vale';'Newport County';1;2),row('2022-05-02';2021;'Salford City';'Mansfield Town';2;2),row('2022-05-07';2021;'Barrow';'Northampton Town';1;3),row('2022-05-07';2021;'Bradford City';'Carlisle United';2;0),row('2022-05-07';2021;'Bristol Rovers';'Scunthorpe United';7;0),row('2022-05-07';2021;'Exeter City';'Port Vale';0;1),row('2022-05-07';2021;'Harrogate Town A.F.C.';'Sutton United';0;2),row('2022-05-07';2021;'Hartlepool United';'Colchester United';0;2),row('2022-05-07';2021;'Leyton Orient';'Tranmere Rovers';0;1),row('2022-05-07';2021;'Mansfield Town';'Forest Green Rovers';2;2),row('2022-05-07';2021;'Newport County';'Rochdale';0;2),row('2022-05-07';2021;'Oldham Athletic';'Crawley Town';3;3),row('2022-05-07';2021;'Stevenage Borough';'Salford City';4;2),row('2022-05-07';2021;'Walsall';'Swindon Town';0;3)
```

Configure the custom delimiter settings:

```
SET format_custom_row_before_delimiter = 'row(';
SET format_custom_row_after_delimiter = ')';
SET format_custom_field_delimiter = ';';
SET format_custom_row_between_delimiter = ',';
SET format_custom_escaping_rule = 'Quoted';
```

Insert the data:

```
INSERT INTO football FROM INFILE 'football.txt' FORMAT CustomSeparatedWithNamesAndTypes;
```

### Reading data[​](#reading-data "Direct link to Reading data")

Configure the custom delimiter settings:

```
SET format_custom_row_before_delimiter = 'row(';
SET format_custom_row_after_delimiter = ')';
SET format_custom_field_delimiter = ';';
SET format_custom_row_between_delimiter = ',';
SET format_custom_escaping_rule = 'Quoted';
```

Read data using the `CustomSeparatedWithNamesAndTypes` format:

```
SELECT *
FROM football
FORMAT CustomSeparatedWithNamesAndTypes
```

The output will be in the configured custom format:

```
row('date';'season';'home_team';'away_team';'home_team_goals';'away_team_goals'),row('Date';'Int16';'LowCardinality(String)';'LowCardinality(String)';'Int8';'Int8'),row('2022-04-30';2021;'Sutton United';'Bradford City';1;4),row('2022-04-30';2021;'Swindon Town';'Barrow';2;1),row('2022-04-30';2021;'Tranmere Rovers';'Oldham Athletic';2;0),row('2022-05-02';2021;'Port Vale';'Newport County';1;2),row('2022-05-02';2021;'Salford City';'Mansfield Town';2;2),row('2022-05-07';2021;'Barrow';'Northampton Town';1;3),row('2022-05-07';2021;'Bradford City';'Carlisle United';2;0),row('2022-05-07';2021;'Bristol Rovers';'Scunthorpe United';7;0),row('2022-05-07';2021;'Exeter City';'Port Vale';0;1),row('2022-05-07';2021;'Harrogate Town A.F.C.';'Sutton United';0;2),row('2022-05-07';2021;'Hartlepool United';'Colchester United';0;2),row('2022-05-07';2021;'Leyton Orient';'Tranmere Rovers';0;1),row('2022-05-07';2021;'Mansfield Town';'Forest Green Rovers';2;2),row('2022-05-07';2021;'Newport County';'Rochdale';0;2),row('2022-05-07';2021;'Oldham Athletic';'Crawley Town';3;3),row('2022-05-07';2021;'Stevenage Borough';'Salford City';4;2),row('2022-05-07';2021;'Walsall';'Swindon Town';0;3)

## Format settings[​](#format-settings "Direct link to Format settings")

Note

If setting [`input_format_with_names_use_header`](/docs/operations/settings/formats#input_format_with_names_use_header) is set to `1`,
the columns from input data will be mapped to the columns from the table by their names, columns with unknown names will be skipped if setting [`input_format_skip_unknown_fields`](/docs/operations/settings/formats#input_format_skip_unknown_fields) is set to `1`.
Otherwise, the first row will be skipped.

Note

If setting [`input_format_with_types_use_header`](/docs/operations/settings/formats#input_format_with_types_use_header) is set to `1`,
the types from input data will be compared with the types of the corresponding columns from the table. Otherwise, the second row will be skipped.
