Hi Guys,
Can somebody help - I'm getting nowhere!

All i want to do is copy 1200 message texts into a CSV file exported from WinCC flex.

I have added the pointless second language which i dont need, i have tried with <text> message </text> "<text> message </text>", etc

what ever i do i get the same multiple error message on import

Info : The text '<text></text>' in the file bla bla bla \TextLists\Test\Others.csv'
already exists. Any further occurrence of this text was ignored.

What im i doing wrong?

thanks Steve

looking at the format i.e
Code:
<text>0</text>
<text>1</text>
<text>10</text>
<text>11</text>
<text>12</text>
to 19
<text>2</text>
<text>20</text>
etc
it isnt going to workout anyway - my list is numerically ordered whilst the csv formatting isnt.

Ctrl C /ctrl V Wrist/finger cramps here i come.

 
You dont have to add a second language. But that you do that tells me that you are using the import/export of texts (Options .. Texts .. Import/Export). Thats is the wrong tool.

Use the import/export found under Project .. Import / Export .. CSV Export and CSV Import.
This is the tool for export and import of alarms (amongst other things) that has been asked for by so many users.
 
I have given up with import/export - if WinCC cant make an error free file - what chance have i got!

All i did was export existing textlists to csv file and then re-import the file (it hasnt even been opened) - why all the errors?

:mad:
 
"others.csv" is a suspicious filename.
It sounds as it has to do with the language export/import.

You should use the import/export found under Project .. Import / Export .. CSV Export and CSV Import.
The default filenames are "Connections.csv", "Tags.csv", "Textlists.csv" and "Alarms.csv".
 
Hi Jesper,

Yes this is what i'm using as suggested this morning.

"others.csv" is a suspicious filename.

Right! it seems the Import dialog file location is greyed out and pointing to the old file location.

I tried a 'Delete temporary files' and in the end i had to close and then reopen WinCC to allow me to change it.

Thanks for your post - you pointed me in the right direction

🍻
