Common Pitfalls When Exporting Visual FoxPro to CSV

  • A comma inside a value forces quoting - fields holding commas, double quotes or line breaks must be wrapped in quotes.
  • Excel reads UTF-8 CSV as ANSI unless the file starts with a BOM, so add the BOM when a spreadsheet is the target.
  • CRLF and LF are both valid row separators - pick one and stay consistent or row counts differ between tools.
  • DateTime fields keep sub-second precision - decide whether the output should carry it.
