}

Export(TextWriter, StringTableCollection, IList<CsvColumns>, ITaskReporter)

Exports a StringTableCollection using columnMappings to control the contents of each exported column. CreateDefaultMapping(bool).

Declaration
public static void Export(TextWriter writer, StringTableCollection collection, IList<CsvColumns> columnMappings, ITaskReporter reporter = null)
Parameters
Type Name Description
TextWriter writer

The target that will be populated with CSV data.
StringTableCollection collection

The collection to export to CSV.
IList<CsvColumns> columnMappings

Controls what will be exported. The KeyIdColumns can be used to export the Key, Id and shared comments whilst LocaleColumns can be used to export the values and comments for a specific Locale
ITaskReporter reporter

An optional reporter that can be used to provide feedback during export.
Examples

This example shows how to configure the data you wish to export in CSV through column mappings.

var collection = LocalizationEditorSettings.GetStringTableCollection("My Strings");

// Use custom column mappings to control what data gets exported
var columnMappings = new List<CsvColumns>();

// We must have 1 KeyIdColumns so that we can map the table entries correctly
columnMappings.Add(new KeyIdColumns
{
    IncludeId = true, // Include the Id column field.
    IncludeSharedComments = true, // Include Shared comments.
});

// Export English with no comments
columnMappings.Add(new LocaleColumns
{
    LocaleIdentifier = "en",
    IncludeComments = false
});

// Export Japanese with comments
columnMappings.Add(new LocaleColumns
{
    LocaleIdentifier = SystemLanguage.Japanese,
    IncludeComments = true
});

// Now export
using (var stream = new StreamWriter("My Strings CSV.csv", false, new UTF8Encoding(false)))
{
    Csv.Export(stream, collection, columnMappings);
}

This example shows how to export every StringTableCollection that contains a CsvExtension.

[MenuItem("Localization/CSV/Export All CSV Files(With Extensions)")]
public static void ExportAllCsvExtensions()
{
    // Get every String Table Collection
    var stringTableCollections = LocalizationEditorSettings.GetStringTableCollections();

    foreach (var collection in stringTableCollections)
    {
        // Its possible a String Table Collection may have more than one extension.
        foreach (var extension in collection.Extensions)
        {
            if (extension is CsvExtension csvExtension)
            {
                if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(csvExtension.File))
                {
                    using (var stream = new StreamWriter(csvExtension.File, false, new UTF8Encoding(false)))
                    {
                        Csv.Export(stream, collection, csvExtension.Columns);
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

This example shows how to export all StringTableCollection to multiple CSV files.

[MenuItem("Localization/CSV/Export All CSV Files")]
public static void ExportAllCsv()
{
    // Get every String Table Collection
    var stringTableCollections = LocalizationEditorSettings.GetStringTableCollections();

    var path = EditorUtility.SaveFolderPanel("Export All String Table Collections - CSV", "", "");
    if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(path))
        return;

    foreach (var collection in stringTableCollections)
    {
        var file = Path.Combine(path, collection.TableCollectionName + ".csv");
        using (var stream = new StreamWriter(file, false, new UTF8Encoding(false)))
        {
            Csv.Export(stream, collection);
        }
    }
}
