Exporting a Component List to a CSV File

Matt Balaam

Hi all,

I am currently trying to find a way to export a component list as a CSV (or TXT) file with the correct formatting. I need the file to only include the Component Code and the Component Quantity columns however I can't seem to find a way to 'turn off' all of the other columns (some will turn off but others are always on). Also, when the schedule is created it includes extra spaces and pipe symbols | to make the schedule look pretty, but I don't want all of those.

I would like the file formatted like this...

Code1,Qty1
Code2,Qty2
Code3,Qty3

I have searched the forum with no luck, does anyone know if this is possible?

Thanks.

Thanks Barry, I hadn't even thought of doing it that way.

I do have some experience with property scripting in GDL so creating a general property object to output to a file should be fairly straight forward.

I will look into this method a bit more as it may be quite a good (and very flexible) solution!
