Filemaker to CSV File with Headers

Featured Replies

Filemaker pro 7 (winxp and osx)

I have products in a database that I need to upload to my Volusion shopping cart

The shopping cart requires a CSV file with header rows.

My question: How to export the products AND a header row.

I was helped very kindly about 6 months ago with an XML Stylesheet that worked very well for Tab-Delimited files.

If anyone knows how tweak the XSLT to that it outputs CSV, here it is:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

exclude-result-prefixes="fmp" version="1.0"

xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

Thank you in advance

I'm not that familiar with XSL, but, for the meantime, if all you need is a text file in CSV with headers, try exporting from Filemaker using "Merge Files." From filemaker, select export, in the window for save as type, select merge files, *.mer and your output file will have the headers.

You could also try using FMPDSORESULT that seems to have the field names included.
