tv_kid Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Has anybody tried exporting to a CMX3600 format? It is a combination of headers, tabs and carriage returns, used for AVID editing software. Just thought I'd ask before I plough ahead and try to work it out myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Smith Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 No. However, have you check out the different [color:blue]formats that can be [color:black]exported? Look up [color:blue]File Format in your [color:blue]Online help, and there is a complete description of what you can expect using any of the export formats.

Fenton Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Unfortunately the tab-separated format doesn't allow a header row (they really should, as it's pretty commonly asked for). You can do this fairly easily with an xml export, using an xsl stylesheet. For simple tabbed with header: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> xmlns:fm="http://www.filemaker.com/fmpxmlresult" exclude-result-prefixes="fm" > Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tv_kid Posted April 2, 2006 Author Share Posted April 2, 2006 Thanks for your advice guys. I've knocked up a script to set up the required data in a text field, and then just export the text field. However, I'm going to mess about with it a bit more, as theoretically it could get to the point where the maximimum field limit size is reached if it's a large list.

Fenton Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 You know the text size limit for a field has gone up dramatically since FileMaker 6? For 7/8: Text: Up to 1 billion characters per field per repetition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
