Encoding and Special Characters

Since we're using .csv as the export/import data format, there are a few considerations for encoding:

• Carriage returns are allowed inside of quotes.
• Double Quotes need to be encoded. If you need to use double quotes, use two of them next to each other. Excel should automatically encode quotes as a double quote when exporting to a CSV file.

How to Export?

1. Start Net.Create with a dataset.
2. Click the "More..." tab.
3. Click the "Import / Export" tab.
4. Click the "Export Nodes" button and save the nodes file.
5. Click the "Export Edges" button and save the edges file.

NOTE: Net.Create only exports the currently visible nodes and edges. See "Selecting Nodes/Edges" below

Who can Export?

All users are allowed to export nodes and edges. Even non-logged-in users.

Selecting Nodes/Edges to Export

"Export" will only export visible nodes and edges. You can use this to select a subset of nodes and edges to export. Use the Filter feature to select nodes and edges. For example, you can filter nodes by Type, and then export.
