Format Table (vuo.table.format)

Turns a table into CSV- or TSV-formatted text.

You can use this node to export data for use in a spreadsheet application. Use this node to convert the table to CSV (Comma-Separated Values) or TSV (Tab-Separated Values) format and the Save Data node to save it to a file. In your spreadsheet application, import the file.

Each row of the table becomes a line in the output text.

Each item in the output text is enclosed in quotation marks.

Example compositions:

• Change Table Data to Metric: Changes temperature data in a table from Fahrenheit to Celsius, and saves the modified table to a CSV file. This composition does not display a window. Data source: Coldest recorded temperature on each continent from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_weather_records
• Record Mouse Clicks to CSV File: Records the location of each double-click and, when the Save button is pressed, saves them to a CSV-formatted file (similar to the Record and Play Values node).
• Perform Coin Flip Experiment: Simulates a series of coin flips and saves the results to a CSV file. In each of 15 trials, a coin is flipped 10 times, and the number of times it came up heads is recorded. This composition does not display a window.
