Text File Output Without Quotes

edited March 2013 in Devices
Is it possible to remove the quotes from a textfile export in RAP?

There was an old post using TextFileDevice.QuoteChar := '' but I can't
seem to make that work either.

A code sample or demo would be great.

Thanks. ReportBuilder 12 Delphi 2007 Oracle 11g

    Hi Jon,

    Access to the file devices' published properties is available from RAP.
    Something like the following inside the OnFileDeviceCreate event.

    var
    lTextFileDevice: TppTextFileDevice;
    begin

    if Report.FileDevice is TppTextFileDevice then
    begin
    lTextFileDevice := TppTextFileDevice(Report.FileDevice);
    lTextFileDevice.QuoteChar := '';
    end;

    end;

    Best Regards,

    Nico Cizik
