example of right csv to import
July 26, 2008, 09:21:38 am
there are many type of csv, example lines:
field, field, field, field
field; field;field; field
"field","field","field"
and differencies from ehader and data
and many others
anyway i checked that sometimes some my fiels are imported and others give problems
I ask to team to publish somewhere good example of riht fiels to import, just ot be sur and not loose time in this, I'm paying a php developer to learn this by himself, he is not expert in civicrm, but is working on it fom hour not yet founding solutions, so I think some problems somewhere could be?

You can also export sample data entered into CiviCRM via the interface. The resulting civicrm-generated export csv file will be in the appropriate format to import.

If you create sample files, please add those to the documentation on the wiki.
