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.

Procedure

  1. Click File > Export > Plain Text.
  2. Select the options that you want to apply to the export, and then click Export. For more information about the export options, click Help.
