CSV (Comma Separated Values) delimiter ?
Hi,
My app exports data in CSV format, using comma separated values. A .csv file is associated with Excel by default and clicking on it opens it up in Excel. However, the delimiter depends on regional settings. Using a comma when regional settings are for the Netherlands, fails because it expects a semicolon then. For USA it is a comma. This information should be stored somewhere in the windows registry. Can anyone tell me where I can find what delimiter is being used on that PC? Lisa |

It is a Windows setting.
in the Windows control panel (under Start=Settings=Control Panel), look in the Regional Settings icon. In the Numbers tab, look at the List Separator character. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Lisa Pearlson" wrote in message ... Hi, My app exports data in CSV format, using comma separated values.

Disregard - thought you wanted to change it.

The settings is based on indivudual user. Try
Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International Name: sList -- Cheers Check Abdoul [VC++ MVP] ----------------------------------- "Lisa Pearlson" wrote in message ...

Not using VB but VC++. I really want to fetch this from the windows registry
myself. I'm pretty sure it's there somewhere. Not sure where the regional settings are stored in the windows registry. "Jim Rech" wrote in message ... Can anyone tell me where I can find what delimiter is being used on that PC? Application.International(xlColumnSeparator) -- Jim Rech Excel MVP |
