export_to_string

Description:

public string export_to_string (DataModelIOFormat format, int[]? cols, int[]? rows, Set options)

Exports data contained in this to a string; the format is specified using the format argument, see the export_to_file documentation for more information about the options argument (except for the "OVERWRITE" option).

Warning: this function uses a DataModelIter iterator, and if this does not offer a random access (check using get_access_flags), the iterator will be the same as normally used to access data in this previously to calling this method, and this iterator will be moved (point to another row).

Parameters:

this	a DataModel
format	the format in which to export data
cols	an array containing which columns of this will be exported, or null for all columns
rows	an array containing which rows of this will be exported, or null for all rows
options	list of options for the export
nb_cols	the number of columns in `cols`
nb_rows	the number of rows in `rows`

Returns:

a new string, use g_free when no longer needed
