eventsFileFormat in txt

The config documentaiton (fullConfig.xml) says that "txt" is an acceptable value for param = "eventsFileFormat" in the controler module. However, when I use this, I get an " “IllegalArgumentException”. What is the problem here? How can I fix this? Thanks for any help.

I think it is an oversight. The txt-Format was included up to MATSim-0.7.0 for backwards compatibility with older visualization software, dating back to the first versions of MATSim, which are now about 10 years old. But the txt-Format wasn't used anymore for a few years, and so support for it was removed in MATSim-0.8.0. Looks like the description of the parameter was not adapted to this change.

In short: txt is no longer supported, only xml is supported for Events in MATSim-0.8.0.
