Re: how to print commas in csv

How to retain commas in CSV is a question of how your receiving program parses the CSV. I'd use Text::CSV to write the CSV, then it will write the files mostly like Excel would, using double quotes to denote strings.

Yup, I agree here. Another possibility is if the receiving program can define its separator to use a different character to comma not found in the data. (I like TAB).	[reply]

I love TAB so much that i have this in my .vimrc: `"""""""" "" Rotate tabstop value between 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 and 64 "" Mapped to <F2> "" function FDO_TabToggle () let TabStopVal = &tabstop let TabStopVal = TabStopVal * 2 if TabStopVal > 64 let TabStopVal = 2 endif let &tabstop = TabStopVal echo"TabStop is now: " TabStopVal endfunction` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
