Export to Text File
This function allows you to save the events that are currently shown in the Event List to a text file. This may be useful in creating custom printed reports or in transferring events to other programs. Currently, only the next upcoming occurrence of recurring events is output. No attempt is made to define all occurrences of recurring events.
The following options allow you to customize the format of the output text file.
Text File Format
- Fixed Width Fields - If selected, no delimiters are used between data fields so that each field is the same width for each record.
- Delimited Fields - If selected, a special delimiter character is inserted between each field in the output file. Fields are variable length depending on the length of the information in them. The delimiter character can be selected from the drop down list.
Yearly Event Options
- Show Age - If selected, yearly events that include an original year show the age on the next occurrence of the event. For instance, age on next birthday.
- Show Original Year - If selected, the original year will be shown for yearly events that include an original year.
- Output Column Heading - If this option is selected, the first line of the output file will contain a heading label for each field in the file.
- Filename - This option specifies the name of the file that the information will be written to. You may select a file interactively by pressing the Browse button.
When you are ready to save the information to file, press the Export button. If the file you specified already exists, you will be asked whether you are sure you want to overwrite it.
