You can use the SELECT INTO statement to export formatted data to a file.

Data Export with an SQL Query

The following query exports data into a file formatted in comma-separated values (CSV):

SELECT InternalId, AcctName INTO [csv://Account.txt] FROM [Account] WHERE acctName = 'Checking'

You can specify other formats in the file URI. The possible delimiters are tab, semicolon, and comma with the default being a comma. The following example exports tab-separated values:

SELECT InternalId, AcctName INTO [csv://Account.txt;delimiter=tab] FROM [Account] WHERE acctName = 'Checking'

C#

String connectionString = "Account Id=XABC123456;Password=password;User=user;Role Id=12345;";

using (NetSuiteConnection connection = new NetSuiteConnection(connectionString)) {
  NetSuiteCommand cmd = new NetSuiteCommand("SELECT InternalId, AcctName INTO [csv://Account.txt] FROM [Account] WHERE acctName = 'Checking' ", connection);
  int rowsAffected = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
} 

VB.NET

Dim connectionString As [String] = "Account Id=XABC123456;Password=password;User=user;Role Id=12345;" 

Using connection As New NetSuiteConnection(connectionString)
  Dim cmd As New NetSuiteCommand("SELECT InternalId, AcctName INTO [csv://Account.txt] FROM [Account] WHERE acctName = 'Checking'", connection)
  Dim rowsAffected As Integer = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
End Using

You can specify other file formats in the URI. The following example exports tab-separated values:

C#

String connectionString = "Account Id=XABC123456;Password=password;User=user;Role Id=12345;";

using (NetSuiteConnection connection = new NetSuiteConnection(connectionString)) {
  NetSuiteCommand cmd = new NetSuiteCommand("SELECT * INTO [Account] IN [csv://filename=c:/Account.csv;delimiter=tab] FROM [Account] WHERE acctName = 'Checking'", connection);
  int rowsAffected = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
} 

VB.NET

Dim connectionString As [String] = "Account Id=XABC123456;Password=password;User=user;Role Id=12345;" 

Using connection As New NetSuiteConnection(connectionString)
  Dim cmd As New NetSuiteCommand("SELECT * INTO [Account] IN [csv://filename=c:/Account.csv;delimiter=tab] FROM [Account] WHERE acctName = 'Checking'", connection)
  Dim rowsAffected As Integer = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
End Using
