I’m using latest 15.0.2 and loading some log files i always have this message on output area:
Inconsistent number of columns detectedWhy ?
How can i disable it ?
Thanks
MauroHello blondie63,
That’s because you are trying to open a CSV file but it contains lines where the number of columns is different from other lines. You can double-click on the message:
filename (number): Inconsistent number of columns detected.and jump to the number’s line of the “filename” file, and correct the line by adding or remove a separator (usually comma).
If this is not a CSV file, you can simply ignore the message, and either (1) disable CSV detection by going to Configuration Properties – File tab and clear all the CSV files to Detect check boxes, or (2) Customize dialog – CSV tab and clear the “Validate CSV and Output Errors” check box.
Thanks,
I think we have a problem here. Please follow these steps:
1. Open a blank Excel worksheet
2. click on A1
3. Type line1
4. Press the ALT-Key, and hit the ENTER key
5. Type line2
6. Press the ALT-Key, and hit the ENTER key
7. Type line3
8. Click on B1
9. Type line1 hit ENTER
10. Type line2 hit ENTER
11. Type line3 hit ENTERWhen I grab A1 through B3 and paste it on EmEditor with Tab separated file, it gives me this error. It should not. I just have 6 cells. 1 cell (A1), has 3 lines; 3 other cells have 1 line. The problem is that EmEditor is not recognizing single cells with multiple lines. This is the representation of this copy and paste on this forum:
“Line1
Line2
Line3” Line1
Line2
Line3If I paste this on EmEditor, it gives me 3 errors. It’s not an error because it’s a correct Tab separated syntax. Or am I wrong? Thanks for your wonderful tool.
