sballen Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Does anyone know if you can covert a pipe delimited file to a .csv file to upload the contents to Oscommerce? Or, is there an Oscommerce add on for pipe delimeted files? And also, why is there so many different types of bulk upload programs, why don't they just call one of them the one to use and do away with all the others? (.csv file preferable) Samuel B Allen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥geoffreywalton Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 I use Edit+ and do a find and replace, then use Easy Populate. But there is no need to do this, this is from the EP documentation. EasyPopulate will import tab, comma, semi-colon, or any other user-defined-separator delimited files.

Are you saying that all I have to do is to upload the pipe delimited file as I do a .csv file? - If so, then what do I save the pipe delimited file as before I make the upload?

♥geoffreywalton Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 No, I am saying read the EP documentation which explains what you have to do to get EP to accept/use pipe delimited files. The name you save it as does not matter.

The name you save it as does not matter. I know that .csv is considered as "comma", but which of the following is Pipe Delimited considered as? $ep_separator = "\t"; // tab is default //$ep_separator = ','; // comma //$ep_separator = ';'; // semi-colon //$ep_separator = '~'; // tilde //$ep_separator = '*'; // splat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
