Makes it a little annoying to use but would be a valid solution indeed.The only problem I have now is finding a way to delete the blank lines in over 2,000 files full of text. Haven't thought about replacing placeholders afterwords.

You could extract the customers from the Excel file with sales totals in the csv file beyond some threshold that appear in targeted industries in the JSON dump, writing your distilled data to csv (or any of several formats). EDT can do joins across different source formats. If you do much with merge data you may find it a good companion for other reasons.įor instance, say you've got customer data including name and address in an Excel file, a csv export from your accounting system showing a log of individual sales, and a JSON dump from a tracking system that relates customers to industrial categorizations. I don't have anything to do with Easy Data Transform. Load a csv file, apply the pilcrow transform, and save it.

On either Windows or Mac, the extremely wonderful Easy Data Transform can save transformations.

No biggie, it works.įor more of a one-click-fix for the csv file, use BBEdit on Mac with a saved text factory (like a macro) to make the change. Note that in the Affinity replace field, newlines appear as ¶ characters. In Affinity, replace every occurrence of ¶ with newline. Replace every occurrence of newline with something recognizable. This has not been fixed, but there is a reasonably easy workaround. I also wonder if '' are used as field delimiters because there's the problem with the comma that disappeared as Walt noted…

Note : CR LF as end of line is generally on Windows system LF as end of line is generally on macOS system (or Unix).Ĭoncerning Affinity, I wonder what code is used to work with multiline fields ? LF (could be a problem for Mac files) ? VT ? Other ? Here is the csv file with comma separated values, LF for multiline field, and CR LF as end of line : Where 0A = LF = line feed 0D 0A = CR LF = carriage return + line feed.īecause you have only one record in your file I don't know what code you would use as a line separator ? LF and CR are already used inside the record itself… You have a 0D 0A (hex) after Address, 0D 0A (hex) after Address2, 0A after, 0A after, and 0D 0A after. I feel your document Untitled 1.csv is strangely built, data isn't displayed in columns… like a classical csv file… To deal with those multilines fields, Filemaker, for example, use the VT code ( = 0B = vertical tabulation)… Generally, in csv files, CR LF is used for end of line… Comma is the field separator… '' are used to delimit fields… and so there is confusion when it comes to multiline fields… Multilines fields in csv file is a big subject… Here's the CSV file, for others who want to work with this: Untitled 1.csv (Yes, I know this is a CSV file, but the multi-line address field is quoted (' surrounding it) which should 'escape' the comma, and we can see in the preview and in the Fields panel that it did.) Note that it also lost the comma after Anywhere. That seems like a bug.Īnd what is finally generated when we run the Merge is this, which has neither the expected line breaks nor paragraph breaks: But what should have been line breaks in the preview are paragraph breaks. So, we now see the complete preview in V2, so that's one bug fixed. However, we see paragraph breaks between the lines, not line feeds: Note that we see all 3 lines of the address. Yet in the document page, we see only the first line. Note that in the Fields panel we see that the record has a multi-line Address field. Here's a screenshot of a record preview from V1. There is something odd going on here, in both Publisher and Publisher 2, so I suspect they fixed a V1 bug in V2, but maybe the fix broke something else.
