Alan <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|RESOLVED |UNCONFIRMED Resolution|NOT_AN_ISSUE |--- --- Comment #2 from Alan <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Rainer Bielefeld from comment #1) > No, it's a characteristic [1][2] of csv, what's something like Plain Text [3] > > [1] <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comma-separated_values> > [2] <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4180> > [3] <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plain_text> I am very conversant with data formats. So while the references you provided were unnecessary, it is nice to know that you were willing to go to the effort to help someone out. I was obviously not clear enough in my description of the issue (my fault. I made an assumption that it would be understood that I knew what CSV was...). I was not expecting the hyperlink to be output as a hyperlink in the csv file. I was expecting the VALUE of the hyperlink to be output as text. The value of the hyperlink is part of the data within the spreadsheet. When outputting the data from the spreadsheet, I would expect that the hyperlink value would also be output. If the value of the hyperlink is not output, then I have to maintain DUPLICATE fields in the spreadsheet. One with the hyperlink and a second with the text value of the hyperlink. While I could name the hyperlink with the same value as the hyperlink to avoid duplication; this would make the cell content nearly worthless -- since many URLs provide no clue as to the actual content of the page. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
