csv to excel or a delimiter in save statement #2452

Closed sriramab closed 1 year ago

sriramab commented 6 years ago

Hi

I get many requests to be able to save to excel file. I know csv can be imported to excel, but sometimes when saving csv and storing a list into csv gives conflict with comma separation with list items.

May be easier introduce a delimiter to the save statement as it is in the csv read operator? So if i specify a delimiter of my choice say ; instead of , then the problem with lists and lists of lists can be resolved.

thank you Srirama

Hi, instead of adding more and more facets to the already bloated save statement, you might want to motivate @gama-platform/core (GAMA developers) to develop the 'flushBuffer()' method in GamaCSVFile so that all the existing infrastructure for reading can be reused for writing... :)

Tracked under #1362.

Reopening this issue for the next round of development on GAMA 2.0

In GAMA 1.9.2, the separator can now be set as a preference, enabling it to be set for a model with gama.pref_csv_separator <- ';' for instance. I think this answers the request !
