I have a friend's data in an application written in revelation (the executable has a 1990 date). I am supposed to help her export all the data. I have found the tcl line and if I click f10 I can export each file to dbase format by painstakingly going through each field and making up a length for the export. There are many files and many fields. Is there any shortcut or brute force way of getting all the data out?
Thanks
Nick,
If you use the export routines you have to define which columns and their
type and length.
You could write a small routine to export the data to dos in any format
you wish. An example was posted by me a couple of days ago.

I have written a routine that will take any number of files specified and then output them to DOS, comma delimited with all values in quotes. The file is split into parcels of <16000 recs (so Excel can cope) and < 64000 bytes. Named CUS1 CUS2 etc. An audit report will show what files, how many records and any exceptions.
Some programming is required to insert filenames into the program but it is basically all there and ready to go. I'll email it if you're interested.
