How to export csv without doublequote

I ran the following comand
ls |export-csv "d:\a.csv"
The result is like the following, every field is double quoted, is there any way to not export double quote. Currently the silly approach I used is to first export-csv, and then read the file in and replace all the double quote with empty string.
#TYPE System.IO.DirectoryInfo
"PSPath","PSParentPath","PSChildName","PSDrive","PSProvider","PSIsContainer","BaseName","Mode","Name","Parent","Exists","Root","FullName","Extension","CreationTime","CreationTimeUtc","LastAccessTime","LastAccessTimeUtc","LastWriteTime","LastWriteTimeUtc","Attributes"
"Microsoft.PowerShell.Core\FileSystem::C:\Users\Daniel.Wu\.fcm","Microsoft.PowerShell.Core\FileSystem::C:\Users\Daniel.Wu",".fcm","C","Microsoft.PowerShell.Core\FileSystem","True",".fcm","d----",".fcm","Daniel.Wu","True","C:\","C:\Users\Daniel.Wu\.fcm",".fcm","10/6/2010
10:33:39 AM","10/6/2010 2:33:39 AM","10/15/2010 3:28:57 PM","10/15/2010 7:28:57 AM","10/15/2010 3:28:57 PM","10/15/2010 7:28:57 AM","Directory"

This really is a typical "Microsofty" reply. Yes, it's good practice to quote strings that may contain special characters or even commas within the fields. But if you know your data and you also know that there will be no such issues, then it's
completely unnecessary.
There is no formalised standard for CSV yet. RFC 4180 is a proposed standard, and even it says that strings
may be quoted. The exception is for strings that actually contain commas.
What gets up my nose is when MS fail to present a reasonable option (e.g. a "-noquote" switch), and then attempt to justify it by saying it
should be the standard.
CSV is a flexible format, and I should be able to output as TSV (which I can, thanks, Microsoft) and refrain from quoting my data as I see fit. Yes, I can roll my own using Add-Content, but when you have something like Export-CSV that implies it'll support
the usual options (no quotes unless specified), it's frustrating.
If you feel that strongly, add a suggestion on Connect. That stands a much better chance of being seen by someone who might be able to implement your suggestion than randomly complaining in an old, answered thread.

How to export video without modification

So it appears that the new iPhoto 9.5 modifies video files when exporting, even when you choose "original." I like to backup my original files without any modification. Images don't seem to be modified, but videos are; the timestamp changes and the size is smaller. Has anyone figured out an easy way to export/backup without modifying the original video files?
I've tried going into the iPhoto library and just backing up manually from there, but Apple has once again modified the file structure of the library so it's hard to figure out if you're getting all the files, or even what date you're getting. It seems to separate it by month and date of import, but not the date the actual image/video was taken.
I liked the old version where you just select a range of images/videos in iPhoto and export the originals to a backup drive without any modification.
Here's a screenshot of how it organizes the files in the library. Kind of a mess.

With past versions, when you exported as "original," it wasn't actually exporting a new file; it was copying the original file to a new location. So you were getting a bit-for-bit copy of the original. It appears to still do that with images—the copied file has the same datestamp and size as the original. By "datestamp" I mean the date you see on the file in Finder, not the embedded Exif info.
But with videos, the new version is modifying the original, making it a smaller file size, and changing the file's datestamp. If I choose "original," I should be getting a direct copy of the original, but I'm not. Instead I'm getting a modified version of it. And given the filesize change, I'm assuming it's a compressed version.
I know direct access to the library isn't supported. It's the Apple way to keep stuff like that hidden. But in the past, if I wanted to, I could view package contents and get to files I needed much more easily than the new version allows.
I'm just trying to find an easy way to back up the original video file, not a modified version of it.

How to export slideshow without losing resolution?

I've used Macs for years, but I'm now having my first experiences with iLife. I've found similar questions to this one discussed here, but not exactly this question, I think.
I have created a slideshow in iPhoto, complete with painstakingly set up Ken Burns effects timed to coincide with transition points in the music that accompanies the slide show.
I would now like to send the slide show to a friend, in some way so that the friend can view it in very high resolution, just like I can, and maintaining the timing of slides to music.
How can I do this? Exporting the slideshow as a .mov was a huge disappointment. Iphoto 6 only offers three resolution settings, and even the highest is much too low. Also, the timing got messed up in the .mov -- the slides advance too fast for the music.
I tried Share->Send to iDVD, to see how that would work, but that failed entirely. I got an error message saying "the export movie file could not be created." Some day I'd like to figure out how to fix that problem, but it's only a high (i.e. pre-Christmas) priority if it's necessary to get my friend the slideshow.
So what should I do? Will I need to re-make the entire slideshow in another application? That would take me a lot of time, and also I'm concerned about the level of editing control that I'd have in applications other than iPhoto. It looks like that would give me more control over exact duration of each picture, but less control over exactly how the Ken Burns effect pans and zooms over each picture, which is important to me. Maybe I'm wrong about that.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Medhead:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The largest you can get any slideshow will be the size sent to iDVD, 720 x 540. If you create it in iMovie and export as Full Quality that will be the same. If you select Expert Settings you can select the H.264 compression with Best Quality compressions and multipass for best quality.
The best quality slideshows, IMO, is to create them in iDVD from imported stills. You are restricted to just one transition for the slideshow, no KB effect but can add titles or subtitles to selected slides.
The slideshows I've created this way and burned play on my plasma HD tv with great sharpness and clarity. Again its my preference to go this route to have the better image quality. Also with this method it's a true slideshow where the viewer can go backward slide by slide with just one click. No rewinding of the movie like with a regular movie file.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application, iPhoto dB file backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

How to export PDF without recompressing all images (pass-through)

I have a simple two page document, each page has a background image linked to a perfectly sized jpg file from photoshop. Each jpg has been painstakingly optimized in photoshop. When I export to PDF, there is no passthrough option. I read in forums that setting compression to "maximum" will essentially pass-through as long as no downsampling is done. However, this is not the case.
Both jpegs are around 250KB, so I'm aiming for a pdf around 500-600KB. However, when I set "do not downsample" and compression to "none," I get an uncompressed file (70MB) essentially converting my jpegs to tiffs. When I set the compression to "maximum" I get a file that is 1.2MB. When I set the compression to "medium" I get a pdf file that is 400KB. So, this tells me the export is clearly recompressing the file no matter what setting I choose. How do I set it to not touch the images and pass-through the files? I want photoshop to do all the compression work, not indesign.
Is there anyway to achieve this?

You can see what happens if you compare an uncompressed PSD with an overly compressed jpeg placed in ID.
The two side by side in Photoshop where you can clearly see the artifacts in the jpeg:
Placed in ID the jpeg's overly compressed pixels are still visible—these are the pixels that get exported
If I export to PDF with minimum quality you can see the compression artifacts in the PSD and newly added artifacts in the jpeg:

How to export PDF without embedded fonts?

Hi,
I'm using CrystalReports with VS2008. I export a report in this way:
rpt.ExportToDisk(ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat, filename);
This works fine except it includes the used fonts. A older version of our export tool used Delphi and the vcl component which did not include the fonts. Including the fonts increase the pdf filesize in my case from 21kb to 70kb. Sounds less but the export creates around 1500 pdf on one day.
Is there a way to export to pdf without embedding the fonts?
Thanks
Thomas

Hi Thomas,
No, and it's not all just embedded fonts. After CR 8.5 we converted everything to be UNICODE compliant. So as of CR 9 the size of the files, Printing as well as exporting, increased due to the unicode feature. All characters and bits of the files are now double byte in length with the resulting output being typically 4 or 5 times greater in size ( just a guess ).
Only option would be to export as usual through CR and then use PDF API's to remove the fonts from the output file and resave the PDF.
Thank you
Don

I'm trying to find out how to export my apple contacts to the Salesforce software and they need to be in a csv format and I don't know if this is possible and how to do it if it is?

I'm trying to find out how to export my apple contacts to the Salesforce software and they need to be in a csv format and I don't know if this is possible and how to do it if it is?

I think there are third-party programs which will do that, but you can also do it with Automator:
See the links in my post, here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/22390873#22390873
The file or clipboard contents will be in Tab Separated vars, so you'll have to open with a spreadsheet program and save as Comma Separated Vars format.

How to export data to multiple csv files?

Hey Scripting Guys,
As stated by the name I'm a novice at scripting. Typically I'm able to resolve most of my scripting challenges by reading through your site or scouring the internet. This challenge I haven't been able to resolve. Please help!!
I'm running a script (posted below) to grab data and export it to a csv file. My challenge is that I want to run the script daily via task manager and have it create a new csv file either daily or weekly. I'm having trouble with the scripting
creating a new csv file. How do I resolve this?
It would be beneficial to append the date to a standard file name, ex. c:\exportedcsv7-11-2014.csv; the next day it would be c:\exportedcsv7-12-2014.csv; and so on.
Thank you in advance to any assistance.
Respectfully,

Thank you for the information and the tip. I took your advice and did some research on Strings, something that I do have trouble grasping. I'm familiar with variables already and feel comfortable using them. I also need to study .Net which
I totally don't understand.
Since I appreciate your advice and guidance I'd like to know if I'm on the correct track. Please look at my breakdown to see if I'm explaining it correctly.
$d=Get-Date
Here a variable is being created using the Get-Date cmdlet, if we execute $d the date will appear
$d.ToString('dd-MM-yyyy')
This converts the date into the format dd-MM-yyyy.
I took the information and tips you provided then came up with this after reading about strings.
export-csv -notype "c:\folder\vmds_$($d.ToString('MM-dd-yyyy')).csv"
The double quotes evaluate the variables. The single quotes do not evaluate anything they just show what's inside of them (a.k.a. literal string). The $() evaluate the expression in ('MM-dd-yyyy') before writing it.
You are correct I definitely need to strengthen the foundation of my basics. Thank you for the direction and advice.

How to export the text edit data to excel file without splitting the data in excel file?

how to export the text edit data to excel file without splitting the data in excel file?
I have a requirement in SAP HR where in the appraiser can add comments in the area given and can export that to excel file. Currently the file is getting exported but the comments getting split into deifferent rows.
I want the entire comment to be fit in one row.
Please help.
Thank you

Hi,
if your text edit value is stored in 'lv_string' variable.
then before exporting the value to excel you have to remove CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>NEWLINE
that is '#' from the variable lv_string.
for that use code some thing like this.
REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>NEWLINE in lv_string WITH space.
I think this will do the trick.

How to export report IN CSV format through JAVA.

how to export report in csv format.when try to export in csv format.its exporting into csv but report not containing column heading , report heading and it showing all the data in a single line.we have integrated the reports with java.

Use a Java API which can create PDF files based on some collection of plain vanilla Java objects (List, String, Number, etc).
Google can find them all. Just feed it with something like "Java PDF API" or so. A commonly used one is iText.
That said, when talking about this in JSP context, ensure that you do NOT write raw Java code in JSP files using scriptlets. Raw Java code belongs in Java classes. In such case you need a Servlet. In JSP just use taglibs and EL to interact with backend Java code and data. Scriptlets are discouraged since over a decade.

How to add SaveFileDialog to PowerShell Get-ADUser Export-CSV

Hi,
I am having a bit of difficulties with getting the SaveFileDialog to work when I use the Get-ADUser export-CSV.
Current code:
$handler_Output_Click=
$User = Get-Aduser $textBox1.Text -Properties DisplayName,sAMAccountName,EmailAddress,Mobile,Company,Title,Enabled,LockedOut,Description,Created,Modified,LastLogonDate,AccountExpirationDate,AccountLockoutTime,BadLogonCount,CannotChangePassword,LastBadPasswordAttempt,PasswordLastSet,PasswordExpired,LogonWorkstations,CanonicalName | Select DisplayName,sAMAccountName,EmailAddress,Mobile,Company,Title,Enabled,LockedOut,Description,Created,Modified,LastLogonDate,AccountExpirationDate,AccountLockoutTime,BadLogonCount,CannotChangePassword,LastBadPasswordAttempt,PasswordLastSet,PasswordExpired,LogonWorkstations,CanonicalName | Export-CSV C:\temp\test.csv -NoTypeInformation ';' -encoding utf8
$richTextBox1.Text = "A file 'test.csv' has been created to C:\temp\ based on the user: $($textBox1.Text)"
Here a specific filename is already defined and I have to edit the code each time I want a different filename.
It would be perfect if I could implement the SaveFileDialog box so I have the ability to name the file before saving and possibly even have the option to select the file type (among .CSV and All files).
This it the export/output button itself:
$System_Drawing_Point = New-Object System.Drawing.Point
$System_Drawing_Point.X = 502
$System_Drawing_Point.Y = 38
$Output.Location = $System_Drawing_Point
$Output.Name = "Output"
$System_Drawing_Size = New-Object System.Drawing.Size
$System_Drawing_Size.Height = 23
$System_Drawing_Size.Width = 85
$Output.Size = $System_Drawing_Size
$Output.TabIndex = 2
$Output.Text = "Export as file"
$Output.UseVisualStyleBackColor = $True
$Output.add_Click($handler_Output_Click)
# $form1.AcceptButton = $Output
$Output.DataBindings.DefaultDataSourceUpdateMode = 0
$form1.Controls.Add($Output)
And in the beginning of my script I also have defined the following:
[System.Windows.Forms.Application]::EnableVisualStyles();
[reflection.assembly]::loadwithpartialname("System.Windows.Forms") | Out-Null
[reflection.assembly]::loadwithpartialname("System.Drawing") | Out-Null
[reflection.assembly]::loadwithpartialname("System.Windows.Forms.SaveFileDialog") | Out-Null
And also:
$Output = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Button
Any ideas how can I implement the SaveFileDialog so when I press the "Export as file" button the PowerShell command "Get-Aduser $textBox1.Text -Properties DisplayName,sAMAc..." is ran and I can choose the file name from a pop-up
dialog box where to save the file and also put a filename? Currently I have to edit the code in order to assign a new file name (or go rename the file from that location).
Thank you in advance,
Henri
EDIT:
I know that the below is the answer to the SaveFileDialog, however I cannot imagine how I could implement it to my script into the "Get-Aduser $textBox1.Text -Properties a,b,c,d | select a,b,c,d | Export-CSV C:\temp\test.csv" cmdlet.
Function Get-SaveFile($initialDirectory)
[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("System.windows.forms") |
Out-Null
$SaveFileDialog = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.SaveFileDialog
$SaveFileDialog.initialDirectory = $initialDirectory
$SaveFileDialog.filter = "All files (*.*)| *.*"
$SaveFileDialog.ShowDialog() | Out-Null
$SaveFileDialog.filename

Just run the dialog before exporting the file. Why is that a problem?
\_(ツ)_/
It works now! I made some modifications and it works. Thank you very much for the advice.
$handler_Output_Click={
Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Windows.Forms
$SaveAs1 = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.SaveFileDialog
$SaveAs1.Filter = "CSV Files (*.csv)|*.csv|Text Files (*.txt)|*.txt|Excel Worksheet (*.xls)|*.xls|All Files (*.*)|*.*"
$SaveAs1.SupportMultiDottedExtensions = $true;
$SaveAs1.InitialDirectory = "C:\temp\"
if($SaveAs1.ShowDialog() -eq 'Ok'){
$User = Get-Aduser $textBox1.Text -Properties DisplayName,sAMAccountName,EmailAddress,Mobile,Company,Title,Enabled,LockedOut,Description,Created,Modified,LastLogonDate,AccountExpirationDate,AccountLockoutTime,BadLogonCount,CannotChangePassword,LastBadPasswordAttempt,PasswordLastSet,PasswordExpired,LogonWorkstations,CanonicalName | Select DisplayName,sAMAccountName,EmailAddress,Mobile,Company,Title,Enabled,LockedOut,Description,Created,Modified,LastLogonDate,AccountExpirationDate,AccountLockoutTime,BadLogonCount,CannotChangePassword,LastBadPasswordAttempt,PasswordLastSet,PasswordExpired,LogonWorkstations,CanonicalName | Export-CSV $($SaveAs1.filename) -NoTypeInformation ';' -Encoding UTF8
$richTextBox1.Text = "A file $($SaveAs1.filename) has been created based on the user: $($textBox1.Text)"

How to export app list in iTunes to csv or text file?

How to export an app list in iTunes libtary to csv,text, or Excel compatable file format?

Hi Peter,
I found out what caused the Script not running on CS3. In my workstation, there are multiple versions of ExtendScript Toolkit (cs, 2 and CS4). When I am working on the Script it default to the latest version which is ExtendScript Toolkit CS4, so it will refer to CS4, activate and launch CS4.
After pulling my hair finding the cause. I finally search and found ExtendScript Toolkit 2 which work for CS3. I shut down ExtendScript Toolkit CS4 and test the same exact Script . It works perfectly. So if you try to run this Script on CS3. Make sure at the prompt message to see if it will run on Adobe InDesign CS3, then it will run fine. In reverse, if you run the Script on CS4, make sure to check your ExtendScript Toolkit CS4 otherwise it will do nothing like I experienced. Great!
Below is my final code for the Script. This Script will capture all link elements' name as text file so I can search batch of elements from the central server for all pick up logos, images, artworks... to prep for my page assembly workflow. Hope this will help anyone have the same interest. All credit to Peter. Thank for all your help and support.
