CSV Catalogs with plain text

[Maggie-Me]

I have looked and haven't found anything, is there a way to produce a catalog in csv with plain text, no html tags?

Thanks for any help

The CSV catalog exports whatever it finds in the database. I assume you're talking about the comments field? If these are stored as HTML, then they that's the way they will appear in the CSV file.

Is it the comments field, or some other field you're referring to?

Yes, it is the comment field, trying to figure out a way to have the output to the csv show plain text and not the html tags

I can't replicate your problem. Are you creating a new Catalog title, or using an existing one?

The problem doesn't appear to be related to the content or size of the catalog, but instead to the actual CSV file being added to the database.
