CSV product import, problem with feature values


Recommended Posts

I have been struggling for the past four hours with the following problem.

 

I'm trying to import a product via CSV, and the problem is that one of my product features has a colon ( : ), for example

 

feature name: Artist

feature value: various: christmas collection

 

Normally the CSV should look like

 

Name;Features

product name;feature1:featurevalue1:featurepos1,feature2:featurevalue2:featurepos2

 

I tried several, such as

  • "product name","feature1":"feature:value1":"featurepos1"
  • product name,feature1:feature::value1:featurepos1
  • product name,"""feature1"":""feature:value1"":""featurepos1"""

but nothing works.

 

How can I import a product, who's feature's value contains a colon?

 

Thanks

I don't know what program you are using to configure your csv files, but assuming it's like excel or notepad++, you can do a "find and replace all" command the change the colon to something else, like a dash for instance.

Thanks for the suggestion. I could do that, but then I would have to go to each product and change the feature's value back to what it was. So, this is a workaround rather than a solution.

 

Thanks though
