How to change the field separator while exporting from Zotero to CSV format
Hi all,
I'd like to know if it's possibly to change the field separator while exporting from Zotero to CSV format. The default field separator is comma (,), and I need to change it to another caracter. Best regars, Augusto

Good question. Can you export items in the library to csv using the online version of Zotero?
Specifically, look at these lines:
https://github.com/zotero/translators/blob/master/CSV.js#L45
The field separator is what you're looking for. The other values in the following lines should be self-explanatory.
Note that the translator will be overwritten periodically if you don't also change the translator id at the top.
@Pedr0mac (generally better to ask different questions on a different thread). No, you can't export CSV from the online library -- CSV is a bit of a problematic format because there is no CSV standard for bibliographic data, so Zotero isn't exactly encouraging its use.
