    <p>I have a program that converts csv to xml to csv. However, when i am converting it back to csv, the formatting has gone wrong. Originally the csv file is like so:</p> <pre><code>x1 y1 z1 x2 y2 z2 cost 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 </code></pre> <p>and so on and so forth. This data is also represented using excel. I then convert this to xml like so:</p> <pre><code>&lt;Solution version="1.0"&gt; &lt;DrillHoles total_holes="238"&gt; &lt;description&gt; &lt;hole hole_id="1"&gt; &lt;collar&gt;1, 2, 3&lt;/collar&gt; &lt;toe&gt;4, 5, 6&lt;/toe&gt; &lt;cost&gt;7&lt;/cost&gt; &lt;/hole&gt; </code></pre> <p>*note that is only one part of the whole thing but it is enough for this example. SO when i convert this back into csv format it appears to be like this:</p> <pre><code> x1 y1 z1 x2 y2 z2 cost 123 456 7 </code></pre> <p>where x1y1z1x2y2z2cost are jumbled up in one column in excel . Also this is represented in a excel.</p> <p>Here is my code for generating xml:</p> <pre><code>def generate_xml(reader,outfile): root = Element('Solution') root.set('version','1.0') tree = ElementTree(root) head = SubElement(root, 'DrillHoles') description = SubElement(head,'description') current_group = None i = 1 for row in reader.next(): x1,y1,z1,x2,y2,z2,cost = row if current_group is None or i != current_group.text: current_group = SubElement(description, 'hole',{'hole_id':"%s"%i}) collar = SubElement(current_group,'collar') toe = SubElement(current_group,'toe') cost1 = SubElement(current_group,'cost') collar.text = ', '.join((x1,y1,z1)) toe.text = ', '.join((x2,y2,z2)) cost1.text = cost i+=1 head.set('total_holes', '%s'%i) indent.indent(root) tree.write(outfile) </code></pre> <p>generating csv: def generate_csv(root, outfile): with open(outfile, 'w') as file_:</p> <pre><code> writer = csv.writer(file_, delimiter="\t") writer.writerow(['x1'] + ['y1'] + ['z1'] + ['x2'] + ['y2'] + ['z2'] + ['cost']) for a in zip(root.findall("DrillHoles/description/hole/collar"), root.findall("DrillHoles/description/hole/toe"), root.findall("DrillHoles/description/hole/cost")): writer.writerow([x.text for x in a]) </code></pre> <p>please help thanks edit: i think i might need multiple delimiters but i do not know how to incorporate that into this program.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
