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
