Why doesn't data with <> in it export to csv?

DragonKing

I have some data which contains '<>' characters in it and when i use the export to csv functionality in javascript , the data inbetween the angular brackets(<>) do not get exported. Can anyone please help me with this.

Example :

Data : a<=b>=c
Data that gets exported : a=c

Hi @dragonking ,

It's because it believes that's a HTML tag. You can disable that by setting stripHtml: false - see here. I did try to reproduce the condition, but for me the string remained intact - if you're seeing problems still, please could you modify my test case to demonstrate the problem.

Cheers,

Hi @colin ,

Your solution worked perfectly. You're a lifesaver.
