UDataTableFunctionLibrary::ExportDataTableToCSVString

function Engine Blueprint Since unknown

#include "Kismet/DataTableFunctionLibrary.h"

Access: public Specifiers: staticBlueprintCallable

Description

Serializes the contents of a Data Table to a CSV-formatted string in memory. Editor-only — useful for editor tooling that needs the data without writing to disk.

Caveats & Gotchas

• Only compiles with WITH_EDITOR — not available in packaged builds.
• Column ordering and quoting follow the same CSV export rules as the editor's own DataTable CSV export, so round-tripping through FillDataTableFromCSVString is safe but hand-editing the string is error-prone for fields containing commas or newlines.
• For large tables, prefer ExportDataTableToCSVFile to avoid holding the entire export in a single FString.
