saveTable() wrong csv output

[thomasvanhemert]

Hey all,
I hope this is the right place to post this but I figured you might be of help here. I'm working on a p5 javascript project where I load a csv file with loadTable() in the preload() function. And I am saving it again later in my setup() with the saveTable() function when a button is pressed. Now comes my problem, the output csv is not in the right format. The function saveTable() exports the following:

sessionId,timeStamp,selectedItems100000,3-5-2018_10:24,EPC123412341234123412340001

But i need it to output it as seperate rows instead of all the rows placed besides each other. Like this:

sessionId,timeStamp,selectedItems
100000,3-5-2018_10:24,EPC123412341234123412340001

This is the part of the code that prepares and exports the csv file:

var newRow = sessionLog.addRow();
newRow.setNum('sessionId', sessionId);
newRow.setString('timeStamp', timeStamp);
newRow.setString('selectedItems', selectedItems);
saveTable(sessionLog, 'sessionLog.csv', 'csv');

Coud any of you help me with this?

you might need to open the file in an editor that is sensitive to different types of line endings (notepad.exe isn't).

Thanks for your reply! When I open the file in Excel for example, all the headers and values are placed in individual cells underneath each other. So one column and six different rows. That is also not how I need it to be.

Hey @thomasvanhemert , could you post a copy of the intial file you load? It works fine when I create a csv file that has sessionId,timeStamp,selectedItems as the header and try your code with some values.

@thomasvanhemert we haven't been able to reproduce this one without the file, so I'm going to close this for organizational purposes. please feel free to reopen if you can update with more info. thanks!
