Problem with variables in Photoshop

[hurzz]

I'm trying to use variables in Photoshop for the first time, but I'm getting an error that I can't figure out.

Here is what I'm doing:
1) I set up two simple layers:


2) I define each layer as a variable:


3) I create a .csv file with excel:


4) I try to import the dataset in Photoshop:


5) Finally, I get this weird error that I can't figure out:


I have two variables in Photoshop: 'autonum1' and 'autonum2'. And I have these exactly same two variables in my csv file. How "there were not enough variable names in the first line of the text file"?
What am I missing here?

Thanks in advance!

Hi hurzz
My first thought is that the csv file needs to have tab or comma delimited items. You are using semi-colon delimiters.
I have not tried semi-colons out yet that is not what is sepcified in the Adobe help documents: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/u...ics.html#creating_data_sets_in_external_files
Hope this helps

@thebestcpu You got it right! I have a foreign version of Excel that, for some reason, generates semi-colon delimiters when exporting a csv file, instead of commas.

Changing it to commas solved the problem. Thanks!
