Data Exports - Plain Text

[dave]

My goal is to do a simple data export (or copy to clipboard) where one can open the file or paste it in to a Windows Notepad and have the text look correct. I notice that if go to Export, set Text mode, select comma for the delimiter and then select copy or save, the result is not easily readable. The content of the file is delimited only with LineFeed characters, which will not delimit lines properly in simple text editors. That character should be a Carriage Return or a Carriage Return/Line Feed pair. Also, if you then open that file and begin reading it, the first few characters are not text characters. In order to properly parse this "text" data you first have to resave it as ANSI text, then fiddle with the line feed characters, etc.

You can easily duplicate this by selecting copy from the Export window and then paste into a Windows Notepad. To see the extra binary characters at the beginning of the saved "text" file, you need to open it with a hex editor.

Can we get an option to save to plain, ANSI text with CR/LF between lines?

Hello dave,

Ok. I can reproduce these here and I have added your requests in wish-list with number [TF02015335] to be considered inclusion these in next versions of TeeChart.Net.

Thanks,

Sounds good. Thank you very much.
