Plain text export function about sc-im HOT 14 CLOSED

Hello. Its in my Todo list. Please give me a couple of days and it will be added. Thanks. 

from sc-im.

I am looking in to this.. What kind of format is messed up if you export as tab delimited? Could you give an example. If you export as tab delimited in SC, does it happen also? THanks.

Well, the cells are not properly aligned anymore. In sc, if you export as plaintext, the editor shows the spreadsheet exactly like sc does. That is not the case if you export from scim. But it is handy, for example if you want to include the spreadsheet in an email.

Perhaps it is ok to use no delimiter at all but export only the cell contents as text?!? I may look into this for myself. From what I get by a brief look into the source code, do_export should be the right place to start?

I see... I will check it out. The most difficult will be to keep the alignment.

Yep. There in do_export and in cmds_command.c where do_export function is called would be the place to start..

Please try latest dev branch commit. You can export to plain text like this:

:e txt filename.txt

Seams to work :-) Thank you very much.

OK. I still have to make some changes. For instance, if you have in a cell both a number and text, only the number is saved..

Please re-test updating to latest branch commit!! Thanks.

What I noticed with the latest commit is that there seem to be some unnecessary empty rows and columns in the exported txt document (vertically and horizontally at the end).

My .sc document contains 34 rows but 41 lines are exported. There are also several spaces at the end of each line which are not needed.

Sent you a sample .sc file and the exported txt by mail.

Yes, the extra white spaces after the last column and the extra newlines after 1331.73.

I believe that would be difficult to change and its related to how the
program allocates memory.

You know you can enter visual mode selects the range only the range you
want and export that range.
If you do that, those white spaces will not appear.
