AsciiImporterTryImportFromMultipleAsciiFilesHorizontally(DataTable, IEnumerableString, Boolean, Boolean, String) Method

Imports multiple Ascii files into the provided table in horizontal order, i.e. in new columns. Depending on the value of determineImportOptionsSeparatelyForEachFile, the import options are either deterimined from the first file and then used for all other files, or determined separately for each file. The first column of each file is considered to be the x-column, and if they match another x-column, the newly imported columns will get the same column group.
