ASCII Printing

I need FM to print a layout of a page in ASCII to a file. The ASCII file is needed by a number chrunching program. I could export the data to a file but I need to include commands to the number chruncher as well. I have a layout containing all these but printing to a file will always include printer commands as well.

Is there a solution?

Welcome to the Forums.

You could put all of your ASCII text in a global text field, then create a found set of just one record (it doesn't matter which one) and export just the one global field to a text file. This could all be scripted to be done with the click of a button to launch the script.

Hi Udo,

If you want to export and keep the layout of the text in the global field, you can use text plugins such as ExportFM. That way you can export out in multiple lines instead of one long line of texts.

Goodluck,

Sam
