The use of CSV files for importing data
February 05, 2008, 12:12:11 pm
Hello,

When I import data, I use a csv file.
The separation mark should be a comma. >,<
But in europe/netherlands excel creates by default a semi-colon >;<

Is it possible to change some configuration so that the import will work with a comma >,< ?

Thanks a lot,
Martin

check: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.fgetcsv.php

You will need to fix CRM/Import/Parser.php, function run (line 259) and change the default separator for your needs
