Hi, I notice from the manual that one exports data to csv by using str() and imports csv data using import_from_csv_file. This produces/uses a csv file with the 1st row having column names in the format table.field.
My situation: ========== I have 3 systems: (a) Web2Py application that communicates with both the other systems using csv files. (b) and (c) two separate legacy systems that communicate with each other and with (a) using csv files. The problems are: (1) System (a) uses and produces csv files without a header row. (2) System (b) uses a header row, but the column names are not in the format that web2py produces/uses. Solution???: ========== Would it be possible to change the way web2py produces csv files? - I am new to Python, so I don't know whether str() can be changed/ overridden to take optional parameters: 'has_header' (true/false, default=true) and 'labels' (dictionary with column/label pairs). - Also change import_from_csv_file to take additional parameters: 'has_header' (true/false, default=true) and 'labels' (dictionary with column/label pairs). Thanks for any help. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py Web Framework" group.
