Exporting to plain text
You can export your current view to a plain text (ASCII)
file.
Before you begin
Save the module so that the data you export includes any recent
changes.
About this task
You can select the encoding you want the exported file to
use. The default is Latin1, or the code page you selected last time
you exported a file to plain text. If you select a Unicode code page,
a Byte Order Marker (BOM) is inserted at the start of the file. The
BOM enables different programs to interpret the file.
You can export
the current view in book layout, which lists the attributes on separate
lines, or in table format. Use table format to display the data as
it is in Rational® DOORS®.
You can include attributes
that do not have a value.
Advanced options let you add line
breaks and tab characters to files exported in book format. You can
also set the maximum line length for the plain text file.
