xcall MIAMEX, MX_CSVDELIM, opcode, delim

MX_CSVDELIM allows the CSV delimiter to be set or retrieved.

Parameters

opcode  (Num)  [in]

0 to retrieve, 1 to set

delim  (String, 1)  [in/out]

the delimiter retrieved (opcode 0) or to be set (opcode 1)

When set, the specified delimiter overrides the one normally used by the WRITECD, WRITETD, and INPUT CSV statements.

To restore the default behavior, in which the delimiter is determined by the most prevalent of the four typical delimiter characters—comma, semicolon, colon, and tab—in the first line of the file, set the delim to "" (null).
