Question

I’m new to exporting to csv. I have a string that is generated from a gridview
(str = coups.Cells[0].Text + ” — ” + coups.Cells[1].Text).
I would like to know how to export this to a csv file.

How do i generate headers in the csv file and then match them up.

Thanks to all

What’s wrong with this?

TextWriter x = File.OpenWrite ("my.csv", ....);

x.WriteLine("Column1,Column2"); // header
x.WriteLine(coups.Cells[0].Text + "," + coups.Cells[1].Text);

The column delimiter is a comma. This is sufficient:

Column1,Column2
data,data2
data,data2

They don’t have to line up visually like this:.

Column1,    Column2
data,       data2
data,       data2

Edit: In the United States, Comma means , and semicolon means ;. You’ll want to pick the delimiter that your software uses.
