Altova XMLSpy 2024 Enterprise Edition

Method: ExportToText (pFromChild as XMLData, pExportSettings as ExportSettings, pTextSettings as TextImportExportSettings)

 

Description

ExportToText exports tabular information from the document starting at pFromChild into one or many text files. Columns of the resulting tables are generated in alphabetical order of the column header names. Use GetExportElementList to learn about the data that will be exported. The parameter pExportSettings defines the specifics for the export. Set the property ExportSettings.ElementList to the - possibly modified - list returned by GetExportElementList to avoid exporting all contained tables. The parameter pTextSettings defines the options specific to text export and import. You need to set the property TextImportExportSettings.DestinationFolder before you call ExportToText. UpdateXMLData() might be indirectly needed as you have to pass the XMLData as parameter to this function.
