WRITE FORMULAS Add-In

This macro writes a text file with a list of formula fields and their expressions for the current layer. The file is written to the C:\temp folder.

The macro illustrates how to:

  1. Open, write to, and close a text file.
  2. Loop over an array.
  3. Get information about expressions.

You can modify the macro to use a dialog box to choose the name and folder for the output file, handle dataviews as well as layers, etc.
