Data Export Tool, For the data geeks

Zephyr River City Gamblers Darkwind Guru Evan Reds Faction Group: Subscribers Posts: 551 Joined: Dec 12, 2009 So I'm a data geek, and I would like to be able to track my gang's data. but all that manual re-typing is a pain. I would like an ability to export the data about my gang into a file I can upload into Excel or some other spreadsheeting software, so I can better track the growth in my gangers' skills and stats. Would this be difficult to implement? ......................... vet wv Posted Sep 21, 2010, 1:01 am

Zephyr River City Gamblers Darkwind Guru Evan Reds Faction Group: Subscribers Posts: 551 Joined: Dec 12, 2009 You know, before i created this topic, I searched on "Excel," "spreadsheet" and "export," and got zero hits. Argh. so anyway... did anything come of this thread you mention? ......................... vet wv Posted Sep 21, 2010, 1:48 am Last edited Sep 21, 2010, 1:49 am by Zephyr

I used to joke with my students, telling them to file their assignments in the bin in the corner... before I realised this was politically incorrect to say that... er... I mean before I realised how important it was to read them. ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Sep 21, 2010, 8:42 am

Zephyr River City Gamblers Darkwind Guru Evan Reds Faction Group: Subscribers Posts: 551 Joined: Dec 12, 2009 Awesome! First time I tried it, it crashed my browser. But second time, it exported properly to a spreadsheet. Though it dropped one long, comma-delimited line at a time. Easy solution, though. ctrl-a, ctrl-c, open notepad, paste, save as .txt file; then open new spreadsheet in excel, go to data --> import data --> from file, choose the .txt file, choose 'delimited,' on next screen check the 'comma' box, click ok... boom, done. A beautiful data tracking spreadsheet. Piece of pie. I do this kind of thing in my day job all the time. I can't wait to do a statistical analysis on my gangers' skill and stat growths. Immediate use: identify the lamest individual in the gang so I know who to fire. Thank you very much Sam (bows). ......................... vet wv Posted Sep 21, 2010, 10:12 am

It just occurred to me that what I'd done could already be useful as a .csv exporter.. ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Sep 21, 2010, 3:14 pm

*sam* The Salthill Sluggerz Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Lead Developer Posts: 16,781 Joined: Jan 19, 2006 Thanks nbk. No worries with the helper app.. when it's ready, it's ready! .. I know it's a fairly complex bit of work.. I'm pleased that some of the export work I did for it has found another use. ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Sep 22, 2010, 7:53 am
