Importing files with text list entries dl-permalink__symbolPermalink

A file to be imported has the ‎.csv‎ format. The first line is a header (example: ‎TextList Id Default en_US‎). The other lines contain text list entries. You get this kind of file by exporting the text lists of the project to a file. There you can edit the text list entries and then import the file outside of CODESYS. When importing, CODESYS handles the text list entries differently for the ‎GlobalTextList‎ and for dynamic text lists.

‎GlobalTextList‎

  • CODESYS does not create new text list entries for an unknown ID.

  • CODESYS ignores changes that affect the ID or the source text.

  • CODESYS accepts changes in the translations.

Text List

  • For a new ID, CODESYS supplements the corresponding text list with a text list entry.

  • For an existing ID which does not match in the source text, the source text of the text list is overwritten with the source text of the file.

  • CODESYS accepts changes in the translations.

Importing a file

Requirement: A project is open with a text list or global text.

  1. Double-click the “GlobalTextList” object or a “TextList” object type.

    The object opens.

  2. Click “Text List  Import/Export Text Lists”.

    The “Import/Export” dialog opens.

  3. In the “Choose file to compare or to import” input field, click _cds_icon_three_dots.png and select the directory and file.

    Example: ‎Text_lists_corrected.csv‎

  4. Select the “Import” option.

  5. Click “OK” to exit the dialog.

    CODESYS imports the text list entries of the file into the respective text lists.
