FileReference save

[mark goldin <ma...@gmail.com>]

I am working with code that saves a large ArrayCollection into an csv file.
When I open the file I see it's a comma delimited. I am not sure I
understand where these commas are coming from. The data itself does not
have any commas. Any idea?

Thanks

You're passing in an ArrayCollection as the data to save? I'm guessing
there is a ArrayCollection.toString() conversion going on. Then it's
looking at each object and splitting the property values with commas.

var ant = {name:Z,class:worker};
var ant2 = {name:Weaver,class:warrior};

var output = collection.toString();
trace(output);
// Z,worker
// Weaver,warrior

It implements IExternalizable. That adds readExternal and writeExternal
methods.

I would call those methods on a new object and then check it's value:

var object  = myCollection.toString();
var object2  = myCollection.writeExternal(output:IDataOutput);

Something like this:
var chartDataFile:FileReference = new FileReference();
chartDataFile.save(projectData, "data.csv");

projectData is an ArrayCollection.
Data.csv looks like this:
0-15-2015
14:37:00,14,1,0.5447975,0.5447975,-0.9986115,-0.9986115,19,21.9765,325.0004,
10-15-2015
14:37:05,14,1,0.5447975,0.5447975,-0.9986115,-0.9986115,19,21.9765,325.0004,
10-15-2015
14:37:10,14,1,0.5447975,0.5447975,-0.9986115,-0.9986115,19,21.9765,325.0004,

I am not sure how these commas are making in.

Can you post a link to the code that does this?

I dont see any formatting in code. I see an ArrayCollection getting saved
into an CSV file. If I open it with Notepad I see that the file is a comma
delimited. Have these commas been added by the output formatting? If yes,
how can I use different delimiters?

Thanks

Hi,

CSV is comma-separated values, so I guess from the formatting into CSV? OR do you mean comma’s in the data rather than as a separator?

Thanks,
