Question

Remove Quotation marks from Export to CSV

0

I am creating a very simple app and part of the functionality requires a CSV export. I have used the standard export to CSV button from a datagrid however this encases each attribute in quotation marks. Is there anyway to remove these quotation marks from the Export? Or would I need to use a module from the app store instead of the standard export?

I don't believe there's an option to remove the quotes from the default CSV export. The quotes are there to ensure that a comma in your data doesn't affect the formatting of the entire file. Most applications handle these quotes as delimiters just fine.

If you really need to export without the quotes, you can probably accomplish this with the Excel Exporter module. It handles CSV files, though I can't say for certain whether you can enable/disable the text delimiter.
