ExportEditor()

Exports the contents of an editor to a new table.

ExportEditor(string editor_name, string class, string file_name, array options)

Argument	Contents
editor_name	The name of the editor to export
class	Class of new table to create (dBASE, FFA, FFB, CSV, or EXCEL)
file_name	File name for the new table

Option	Type	Contents
CSV Drop Quotes	Boolean	If "True" when exporting to a comma-separated file, do not have quotes around string field values in the exported file (default is "False")
CSV Header	Boolean	If "True" when exporting to a comma-separated file, the first line of the file contains field names, and data starts at the second line (default is "False")
Dictionary Description	String	A description to be stored in the first line of the resulting FFA, FFB, or CSV dictionary file
Force Numeric Type	String	Type should be chosen from "double", "float", "integer", "long", "real", or "short". All numeric fields will be exported using the specified type whenever allowed by the underlying database that is being exported to
Indexed Fields	Array	A list of fields to be internally indexed in the new table

The file types include FFA for fixed-format text (ASCII), FFB for fixed-format binary, and CSV for comma-separated text (values).
ExportEditor() exports the view, selection set, and fields that are currently being shown in the editor to a new table file.
When exporting to a CSV, FFB, or FFA file, ExportEditor() automatically creates a dictionary file in the proper format.
The old format for the CSV Header option, with no value, is still supported.
If a file of the given name already exists, it is deleted before the view is exported.
Use OpenTable() to open the new table.

ExportEditor("Customer List", "CSV", "customer.csv",

{

{"CSV Header", "True"},

{"Indexed Fields", {"Name", "Sales"}}

})

Error Type	Meaning
Error	Unable to create the table (e.g., the file is currently in use, or disk space is insufficient)
NotFound	The view or set name is invalid

Function	Summary
CreateTable()	Creates an empty table and opens it as a view
ExportView()	Exports the contents of a view to a new table
FileCheckUsage()	Checks whether files are in use by Maptitude
