Description
Hi, i tried to add a comma-separated file (csv) as table to QGIS.
The following example works without issues on Linux systems (QGIS dev):
fileName = vectorPath # the path to the csv
fileInfo = QFileInfo(fileName)
baseName = fileInfo.baseName()
uri = fileName+"?delimiter=%s" % (";") # ; as seperator
vlayer = QgsVectorLayer(uri, baseName, "delimitedtext")
if not vlayer.isValid():
QMessageBox.warning(QDialog(),"Warning","Failed to add the Layer to QGis")
QgsMapLayerRegistry.instance().addMapLayer(vlayer)
However using QGIS dev on Windows XP always results in an invalid layer ("Failed to add the Layer to QGIS"), while QGIS 1.8 simply crashes ("Error Message: QGIS.bin has to be closed").
Did i stumble upon a bug or is the procedure to add tables to QGIS different on Windows systems?

Did you enable the delimited text plugin?

No, i didn't before.
I just tested it and it has no influence on the errors (QGIS 1.8 still crashing on WIN XP -> qgis.exe has found an Error | QGIS dev returns the messagebox that the layer is not valid.)

use uri = "file:/"+fileName+"?delimiter=%s" % (";") # ; as seperator

Ahh, that fixed it. Thanks!

One safe way of building the url for the delimited text plugin is to use QUrl...
url = QUrl.fromLocalFile(filename)
url.addQueryItem('delimiter',';')
url.addQueryItem('xField','longitude')
url.addQueryItem('yField','latitude')
layer_uri=QString.fromAscii(url.toEncoded())
vlayer=QgsVectorLayer(layer_uri,"My layer","delimitedtext")
