millmaine Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 Is there a way to ensure that Filemaker text formatting is maintained when exporting to .csv. I have tried applying "uppercase" to a field in layout. I have also tried to populated a field using "uppercase" as part of the script. However, when exported to CSV, formatting is both upper and lower case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millmaine Posted November 27, 2023 Author Share Posted November 27, 2023 Cancel that. Realised using "upper" function, rather than "uppercase" as a text style or text style function works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comment Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 Correct. CSV is a plain text format and any styling, whether applied to the field in Layout mode or to the text itself, is lost when exported. OTOH, the Upper() function modifies the actual characters. Keep in mind that this is a one-way conversion. If the original text was able to distinguish between MacDonald and Macdonald, the result won't.
