Create CSV file using custom delimiter in Qlikview store command

Dear Gurus,

I want to create a CSV file Qlikview script with a custom delimiter('-|-') using below script.

Test:

LOAD caseId,

          description,

     ticket_details

FROM

(ooxml, embedded labels, table is Sheet0);

STORE Test

INTO [S_OCT2016.csv](txt, delimiter is '-|-');

However, I observed that it is only considering 1st character(-) only as delimiter. Reason why I need custom delimiter is our ticket_details column contains all special characters. So when I give single delimter it is splitting the column when ever that special character found in ticket_details column.

Please share if you have any alternative to store the data into csv from xlsx.

Br,

Chinna

Hi,

Try like this

Test:

     ticket_details

INLINE [

caseId, description,ticket_details

a, b, c

d, e, f

];

STORE Test INTO [S_OCT2016.csv](txt, delimiter is '\x1e');

DROP TABLE Test;

Test:

LOAD *

FROM

(txt, utf8, embedded labels, delimiter is \x1e, msq);

It is a single character, it is working for me and I am able to create QVD and able to load that QVD into qlikview.

Hello Chinna
Did you find solution for this. I'm facing the same issue. Delimiter in my source file is #|# whereas Qlik consider only first character as delimiter.

Thanks,
Sudharsan
