Summary0000187: CSV log generated by speedfan
DescriptionThe cvs file which Speedfan generates as a log uses a tab as the delimiter. This does not open correctly in MS Excel.
Steps To Reproduceenable logging, open log file in MS Excel.
Additional InformationI suggest a fuction where the user can select what delimiter to use and limiting the choice to the microsoft "standard" which is tab, semi colon, comma and space. Maybe an option where the user can enter his/her own delimiter

I don't know. I use OpenOffice (I don't have the money to buy MS Office to do what I can do with OOO :-)). Logs open flawlessly. Whenever I exchange files with MS users I always use TAB as a delimiter as I get less problems than with any other delimiter. You too, in the ADDITIONAL INFORMATION here, say that standard delimiters for MS are "tab, semicolon, comma and space". TAB is in your list. What am I missing?

The issue here is that when I double-click on the *.csv file, and have MS Excel installed, MS Excel is expecting a Comma Separated Value format. Thus, your log files with tabs do not get imported correctly. I simply renamed your files to *.txt and now MS excel is expecting delimited files and is able to automatically determine that the files are tab delimited and they are imported correctly. It would be nice to be able to specify the directory where these logs are stored. They would be easier to get to in the My Documents folder.

Hi there, it would be very helpful if you could fix this or add a cfg file setting to change the character used as a delimiter. CSV = "comma separated values" and most programs will open the current logfile format as a single column. Thanks, John

Excel will display the column data correctly if you select the column, then click on DATA, bring up the Column wizard, select Delimited, select Next, then put a check in Tab (should already be there) then click on Next again. Worked for me.
