There is not a write CSV puzzle so you will have to transfer the variables to the parent window and then convert that data to CSV from their I believe.

Hi,
I made some search but didn’t find how to do it. I don’t have skills on JavaScript programming.

Here is what I am trying to do:

I have some variables in puzzles like
dimension1=100
dimension2=35
dimension3=20
………=…

Then I need to write a CSV file with this format:
dimension1;100
dimension2;35
dimension3;20
……….;..

This file will be used in a 3D CAD software that uses those parameters to build a 3D Part.

Any help will be appreciated. :)

Thanks,
Nuno

Hi,

You can use the HTML->download_file puzzle for that, but you need to generate the CSV content first. The puzzle setup may look like this:

– first you put the variables into a CSV string, which then goes into the download puzzle.

Hi, Ivan.

I tested and it worked fine. Thanks! :)

Just one more doubt (sorry), is it possible to save the file directly on disk instead of making the download?

Thank you very much for your help.

This requires a server configured so that it could receive requests with the file content and save it on the disk.

But doing something like that from a browser directly on a user machine is not allowed for security reasons.

Hi, Ivan.

Thanks for your help.

The idea is to have the file saved on the server, not on the user machine. That information should be used by another software without the user interference. That why the user shouldn’t be using the csv file.
