Hi all, I'd really like to use fields that contain carriage returns and line feeds in SDFDataset, so I've written a patch for SDFDataset as well as a test.
I'd appreciate it if someone could look at & hopefully implement http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=17285 This will help people that want to have better support for CSV export. Note: I've seen in some other bug report, mailing list or forum (forget where), that some people say SDFDataset shouldn't support line endings in fields. I've implemented a property called AllowMultiline in the patch; I'd be perfectly happy too if it is implemented but the property is not enabled by default. (Also, the Lazarus book chapter 12.3 describes using SDFDataset for CSV files, so we can change either SDFDataset or the book contents ;) Thanks! BigChimp PS: Shameless plug: Now working on fcl-db export to Unicode XML with XSD support for better interoperability with .Net (ADO.NET) and Microsoft Access... _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
