Csv delim

[pedralmeida]

Allow the choice of a delimiter character when exported CSVs do not use comma as separator.

Thank you for the PR @pedralmeida. I will check this within the next week as I am currently traveling 🙌

So I think I need a bit more context here. Papa.parse has the possibility of automatic delimiter detection and uses each of the list of [',', '\t', '|', ';', Papa.RECORD_SEP, Papa.UNIT_SEP], which covers more cases than your implementation.

From their docs: https://www.papaparse.com/docs#config

Is this not enough for your use case?

Hi!

Thank you for looking into it. Yes, Papa.parse has an automatic way to detect it. However for non-american countries that use the seicolon as separator, the comma is then used as decimal delimiter and papaparse interpreted that as the delimiter. So I required a new method to force the separator so it is not fooled.

eg: field;field;3,5;field;field

in this example, papaparse separates the 3,5 creating field;field;3 and

• 5;field;field* instead of doing via the semicolon.

I believe you can test this by simply manipulating a typical csv and change all commas by semicolons and vice-versa.
