Crop the end of long texts #36

Closed balintrichly closed 2 years ago

balintrichly commented 2 years ago

I exported a selection with long text values in the fields, but after 256 characters the end of the text has been truncated for each field.

Hmm, interesting. To be sure I understand: is it truncating each cell to 256 characters? Or is it truncating each row to 256?

Could you attach a sample Excel sheet here that shows the behavior, so that I have something to test with?

Each cell to 256 characters. Here is an example sheet with the first 200 numbers comma separated. I exported only the A1 cell with pipe separation and it happend again, after 88, no more character exported. I also attached the output csv file.

first200number.csv first200number.xlsx

Interesting. I'm using VBA's Format function to apply the number format specified on the GUI, and it apparently truncates its output to 255 characters. I believe I have a fix in place; I'll test it for a bit and then release a new version, and we'll see if it fixes this problem. Stay tuned....

Ok, give v1.2.2 a shot, see if it works correctly for you: https://github.com/bskinn/excel-csvexporter/releases/tag/v1.2.2

It seems to work now, thanks for your fast feedback and for the correction.
