File Exchange CSV fields - job abandoned with no error message

@dollybeauty and @shipscript  Here's the file we're discussing.

 

http://s000.tinyupload.com/?file_id=00851142603746333946

 

Can I delete it from the server it was generated from?

 

Thank you!

The compatible programs should be able to produce the appropriate files. Does LibreOffice have the option to "Save As" in Windows CSV format? I would think so, since the Mac CSV format uses a different file terminator.

 

Based on the sample uploaded file you provided us (which also had the wrong file terminator), there was not enough detail in the variation for a submission and the PicURL field was empty on the first line, so would expect a failure.  Let's look at your single product upload file. Can you share that file with us?

 

It seems we are looking for basic file format failures, but there could still be a data error.

Sorry for the delay. Someone stopped by. Anyway, here are screenshots that show the choices I have for saving. Which one should I use, please?

 

Also page 31 shows you have to leave the PicURL field empty on the first line.

 

I have to create a single item csv again.

 

Crazy question but is western ISO-8859-1 for US English?

@shipscript My single item file failed so I'm going to do what you said in the other post:  "Can you save the spreadsheet to CSV, change the suffix to TXT, open in a text editor, and then copy/paste the text into the </> code box here? Although harder to read, that will actually give a clearer indication of spaces and formatting."

It looks like you have only one CSV save option, so that is the one to use. While you are preparing your file for display here, I'll go ahead and create a simple one line upload for File Exchange, test it on my own listing, and then give that file to you. That will probably take an hour, probably less, to get it end-to-end tested so you can use the same file. At least that way, we can start with known working data and try to track down the system incompatibilities if those are the real issues.

Those are not smilies. The forum keeps inserting emoticons when it "sees" 2 and a colon or C and a colon.

I can't delete the incorrect posts. This is what I have for the single item csv. Thank you for your help. I'm grateful for it.

@huntfor 

 

You'll need to use the </> toolbar icon to open a code window. Otherwise the text will take on attributes of the forum. Can you try again?

 

We cross posted. Thanks, we can work with that file.  I'll test the quoted header row to see if that is a failure.
