ConvertCsv Method (Document Object)

Converts the CSV format.

[JavaScript]

document.ConvertCsv( iDestMode, nFlags, strSepPos );

[VBScript]

document.ConvertCsv( iDestMode, nFlags, strSepPos );

Parameters

iDestMode

Specifies the index of the CSV format you want to convert the current document to. 0 means fixed-width columns format (non-CSV). 1 means the first defined format in the CSV tab of the Customize dialog box (Comma separated by default).

nFlags

You can specify a combination of the following values.

Value	Meaning
eeCsvHalfWidth	Assumes all half-width characters to improve the speed.
eeCsvDiscardUndo	Discards undo information to improve the speed.
eeCsvTruncateUnfit	Truncates strings if the string length exceeds the column width.
eeCsvPromptInvalid	Warns if invalid format detected.

strSepCount

If the current document is a non-CSV document, and if you want to convert the current document of fixed-width columns to a CSV document, this string specifies the widths between separators, separated by commas. For instance, "10, 8" means 2 separators separated by 10 and 8 half-width characters. This parameter is ignored if the current document is a CSV document.

Examples

The following example converts a fixed-width columns to a comma-separated CSV format. The original fixed-width format is:

Madrid Spain   100
Paris  France  101

The destination CSV document will be:

Madrid,Spain,100
Paris,France,101
