Hi --
Is there a standard way to use the csv module to export data that
contains multi-line values to Excel? I can get it mostly working, but
Excel seems to have difficulty displaying the generated multi-line
cells.
The following reproduces the problem in python 2.5:
import csv
row = [1,"hello","th is is\na multiline\ntext field"]
writer = csv.writer(open ("test.tsv", "w"), dialect="excel-tab",
quotechar='"')
writer.writerow (row)
When opening the resulting test.tsv file, I do indeed see a cell with
a multi-line value, but there is a small boxed question mark at the
end of each of the lines, as if Excel didn't recognize the linebreak.
Any idea why these are there or how to get rid of them?

Any chance you are doing this on Windows and Excel doesn't like the
return+linefeed line endings that Windows produces when writing files in
text mode? Try 'wb' as mode for the output file.

I've searched this goup for an answer to this, there are many

addresses this particular problem.
I'm exporting queries to Excel. These queries have memo fields in them
Each memo field is trunkated, i.e cuts off after 255 characters.
Is there any way either via VBA or otherwise to get all my memo text to
export to Excel.
I note that there is no such limit when exporting...

I need to export a query to Excel with a memo field. The memo field
keeps getting cut off at 255 characters. If I just cut and paste, I
get the whole memo field.
I need it in Excel without having to go through all that. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
