I'm creating an CSV file in excel which will be used in an Indesign document.
Is there a way to create an extra line (like you do with alt+enter in excel) in your csv file?
I tried /n, /r, "text", even double ""text""
all of these didn't create an new line in Indesign for me.
Encountered the same issue many moons ago and got around it via the following:
Enter a unique symbol in the CSV where you want the line break to appear
Data Merge
Then Edit - Find/Change
Enter the unique symbol in the find field
Enter end of paragraph symbol (^p) in replace field
I'm trying to do an export from access into a text file via a query
select CustomerName
into [Text;FMT=TabDelimited;HDR=NO;DATABASE=C:\Temp\;].CustomerList.txt
from Customer
however, every line is getting wrapped in double quotes. Is there a way to turn off the quoting (I'm only ever setting one column), or can I use a custom quote character (e.g. set it to blank)?
Method 1
You have to add manually a schema.ini in the directory you wish to export
In your case, it should contain :
TextDelimiter="none"
Method 2
Another way to do it is to use the TransferText method, with :
SpecificationName Optional Variant. A string expression that's the
name of an import or export specification you've created and saved in
the current database. For a fixed-width text file, you must either
specify an argument or use a schema.ini file, which must be stored in
the same folder as the imported, linked, or exported text file. To
create a schema file, you can use the text import/export wizard to
create the file. For delimited text files and Microsoft Word mail
merge data files, you can leave this argument blank to select the
default import/export specifications.
for your export specification, which is a oneshot operation, you will use the wizard and there you have an "advanced" button bringing a menu where you can set the text delimiter to nothing.
Google is your friend. You've got enough clues now to sort it out.
The output of my datamapper is a csv file. And the output looks like the below one.
For eg:
"1","10"
"3","40"
But my requirement"
1,10
3,40
What configuration should i do to get the o/p as required. Pls suggest!!!
Click on the options circled in red on the destination profile and uncheck the check box "Quote Strings" in the pop up that comes there after .
Some times the CSV file has this Quotes by default
I have a txt file which contains quoted, comma deliminated text, and i am trying to figure out what type of newline is being used.
The reason is because i am trying to import it into mysql server, using local infile, and obviously i need to tell it the correct LINES TERMINATED BY
When i use either \n or \r\n it imports exactly half, of the records only, skipping a line each time.
But when i use \r it imports exactly double, giving me the exact number of rows as all values null, as there are records.
When i open the file in notepad, there is no space in between lines, however, if i open it in a browser, there is a blank line in between each line, as though there is a paragraph there somewhere. Like wise if i choose "open with > Excel" it does not put into columns, and has a blank line between each. The only way to open properly in excel is to use "get external data > From text" and choose comma deliminator.
I provide a couple of lines below exactly by just copying and pasting, and obviously it would be great if someone could let me know the correct settings to use for importing. But i it would be even more great, if there was a way for me to quickly know what type of newline any particular file is using (there is also a blank line at the very end of the file as per the other rows).

When I open sublimetext2 I get the following 2 messages:
Error trying to parse settings:
No data in ~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 2/Packages/User/JSON.sublime-settings:1:1
Error trying to parse settings:
Expected value in ~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 2/Packages/User/SFTP.sublime-settings:1:1
The JSON file does not exist, while the SFTP does. How do I create the file, or where can I find it? Saw a similar question on here, but they had the file in their question, I do not.
Appreciate any help.
Add this code to your Sublime Text > Preferences > Settings - More > Syntax Specific - User
{
"draw_centered": true, // Centers the column in the window
"draw_indent_guides": false,
"font_size": 12,
"trim_trailing_white_space_on_save": false,
"word_wrap": true,
"wrap_width": 80 // Sets the # of characters per line }
Thanks - if possible then set the values according to it.
