Further to our chat in IRC 2 days ago, this works! I had to update my Lazarus install from 0.9.30 to 0.9.31 as expected but that step caused me considerable headaches (see this
http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,14615.msg77518.html#msg77518 if interested). I eventually got that sorted and now running Lazarus 0.9.31 with FPC 2.5.1 and, as you rightly pointed out, adding
Stringgrid1.SaveToCSVFile('/home/ted/test.csv');
works a treat!
I am very appreciative for you doing this for me and the rest of the community who will no doubt benefit greatly from this.
