Easy Populate : Setting Tab Separator problem

[rTYPE]

Hi,

 

Yes, I'm a bit of a noob, so please go easy.

 

I've been mucking around with this & don't quite understand. Was under the impression Tab was the default separator. When I attempt to export a CSV file, there is no tabs & columns are not separated. It appears they're separated by commas, but I don't know how to change to Tab, what am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance

 

 

// **** Field Separator ****

// change this if you can't use the default of tabs

// Tab is the default, comma and semicolon are commonly supported by various progs

// Remember, if your descriptions contain this character, you will confuse EP!

// if EP_EXCEL_SAFE_OUTPUT if false (below) you must make EP_PRESERVE_TABS_CR_LF false also.

$ep_separator = "\t"; // tab is default

//$ep_separator = ','; // comma

//$ep_separator = ';'; // semi-colon

//$ep_separator = '~'; // tilde

//$ep_separator = '*'; // splat

 

// define ('EP_SEPARATOR', );

 

 

// *** Excel safe output ***

// this setting will supersede the previous $ep_separator setting and create a file

// that excel will import without spanning cells from embedded commas or tabs in your products.

// if EP_EXCEL_SAFE_OUTPUT if false (below) you must make EP_PRESERVE_TABS_CR_LF false also.

define ('EP_EXCEL_SAFE_OUTPUT', true); // default is: true

 

if (EP_EXCEL_SAFE_OUTPUT == true) {

if ($language == 'english') {

$ep_separator = ','; // comma

} elseif ($language == 'german') {

$ep_separator = ';'; // semi-colon

} else {

$ep_separator = ','; // comma // default for all others.

}

}
