CSV Export with extra spaces

[bmorse]

Hi,
I am exporting to a csv with commas between my fields. My data looks fine in the sheet. When I export it, it puts a space sometimes before, after, or both each comma (looking like this:
4/30/2018 ,UNALOC, 2 , 67.91 ,Aney, David, 6102 , 4 , 133.76). My export code is:

Public Sub GGExcelRowsToCSV()

Dim iPtr As String
Dim sFileName As String
Dim intFH As Integer
Dim aRange As Range
Dim iLastColumn As Integer
Dim oCell As Range
Dim iRec As Long
Dim lastRow As Long, i As Long


lastRow = Range("J" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row


Set aRange = Worksheets("GG_Export").Range("C1:J" & lastRow)
Application.DefaultFilePath = "K:\Equipment\Field Repairs"
'Set aRange = Application.InputBox("Select a range:-", , Selection.Address, , , , , Type:=8)
Application.SendKeys "~"
iLastColumn = aRange.Column + aRange.Columns.Count - 1

iPtr = "GGFieldRepairs"
sFileName = "K:\Equipment\Field Repairs" & iPtr & ".csv"
sFileName = Application.GetSaveAsFilename(InitialFileName:=sFileName, FileFilter:="CSV (Comma delimited) (*.csv), *.csv")
If sFileName = "False" Then Exit Sub

Close
intFH = FreeFile()
Open sFileName For Output As intFH

iRec = 0
For Each oCell In aRange
If oCell.Column = iLastColumn Then
Print #intFH , oCell.Value
iRec = iRec + 1
Else
Print #intFH , oCell.Value; ",";
End If
Next oCell

Close intFH

MsgBox "Finished: " & CStr(iRec) & " records written to " _
& sFileName & Space(10), vbOKOnly + vbInformation

End Sub

How can I trim out those extra spaces in the csv file? Many thanks.

Try using the Write # statement instead...

If oCell.Column = iLastColumn Then
    Write [URL="https://www.mrexcel.com/forum/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=intFH"]#intFH[/URL] , oCell.Value
    iRec = iRec + 1
Else
    Write [URL="https://www.mrexcel.com/forum/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=intFH"]#intFH[/URL] , oCell.Value;
End If

Hope this helps!

Domenic,
That did for all fields except it put a # at the beginning and end of my date field. How can i get rid of those?

 

[Domenic]

For dates, it writes date literals to the file, signified by a # at the beginning and end of the date, as you've seen.. To write dates as formatted strings, use the Format function...

Format(oCell.Value, "mmmm d, yyyy")

Change the format as desired. So you can test for a specific column, and then use the Format function for those values in that column.
