Quotes around the empty string and adding specified number of spaces if value is empty

[lmoparthi]

Hi
I could not figure it out

1. how to remove the quotes around the string fields in writing to csv file
2. I have to add specified number of zeros/spaces if value is empty or null.
   when i am writing into csv file with delimiter semi colon ;, .
   presently my files looks like below

DE;0;;" ";;;;;;;"000757000000 ";"KERKER ";

I want to achieve something like below with no quotes around the strings and

DE;0;00000; ;000000;00000;00000;00000;00000;00000;000757000000 ;KERKER ;

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much in advance.

Thank you

There is a config option ShouldQuote that you can use to say when a field should be quoted. If you never want them quoted, you can use Mode = CsvMode.NoEscape. Not writing quotes might make it impossible to read back in though, so I'd recommend another approach.

You could write a customer converter to write spaces or zeros. This converter would also detect this when reading back in too.
