--- Quote from: HKJ on June 13, 2018, 03:26:45 am ---Only in part of the world, some countries uses "," as decimal separator and ";" between values in csv files. --- End quote --- That is true, but a localization setting in the app could take care of that. I'm sure when you set up an iOS device you can choose country, region and culture settings to your preference. With that said, I believe the tendency in science and engineering is to standardize on "." as the decimal separator these days. |

I am an iOS user. iphone 6, ipad mini, iphone 4. Looking forward to an iOS app! --- End quote --- You can use the app now if you like, just fill in the form at the top of the page and become a beta tester :) --- End quote --- How do I get the app? i searched the app store on my iphone for 121gw and eevblog and nothing came up. --- End quote --- Hello, you should have received an invite in your email to join the beta program. |

I think underscore is more portable than dash, so that would give a name like YYMMDD_HHMMSS.csv --- Quote ---I don't really see the need for commas either in this data. Space separated should be sufficient, in which case the suffix would be .txt or .dat or something. --- End quote --- Actually, comma separated with a .csv extension enables apps like Excel to open the file directly as a spreadsheet without any need for import filtering. So I would strongly favor retaining the current csv format and file type. --- End quote --- Alright, I have made the format as follows: yyyyMMdd_HHmmss_Log.csv This will be in the next beta version (it will be available to you soon) release. |

I have seen csv files with "," as both decimal separator and value separator. --- Quote from: IanB on June 13, 2018, 03:36:22 am ---With that said, I believe the tendency in science and engineering is to standardize on "." as the decimal separator these days. --- End quote --- I prefer a fixed file format, but Misrosoft has decided that default csv file format varies by country and they do not care if you use it for engineering. |

Most editors recognize strings and will ignore commas between quotes. |
