Quotations on text export

rbuser

Hi,

When I print to file with text option, when there are spaces in the field it
surrounds the fiel with double quotes. How can I disable this as, since the
text file is comma-delimited, there is no reason to have quotes around the
text. I am trying to export to a third-party software and this creates a
problem.

V7

Thanks

Alex

Hi Alex,

This is not a feature that can be turned off for the TextFileDevice. If you
take a look at the TppTextFileDevice class located in the ppFilDev.pas file
you will see where this is done inside the SavePageToFile routine. One
option would be to create and register a new TextFile device that is
essentially a copy of the current one only removes this feature. Another
would be to alter the current TextFileDevice to your needs.

Hi Nico,

Thanks for that. Can I request an enhancement for the future where you can
specify whether to place quotes around items? In the meantime we will do as
you say.

Thanks
