• 1. Fields delimiter and quote character step has some important settings. Check them to ensure proper configuration.

• • • Delimiter Character. Most popular delimiters are comma (,), semicolon (;) and tab character ( ) however other symbols can be used as well. Export file is usually generated for further import, so the same delimiter should be used while import. Also if you have any troubles opening the result file in excel, try to use different delimiter and check how it goes.

    • Quote string values are used to separate strings in CSV file. It is recommended to enable the option if you have desctiptions with any special symbols, commas and semicolons.

      • As you know categories are organized in a form of tree, where one category can contain one or more subcategories and subcategory can contain one or more other categories. Category delimiter character is used to separate category names and specify full category tree. Category path is very similar to directory path, used to specify full file name in Windows, where every directory separated by backslash (\) character like this one C:\Program Files\eMagicOne\Store Manager for CubeCart\.
