    Command: Export All Unicode .txt Text List Files

    Symbol: _cds_icon_export_import_textlists.png

    Function: All text lists of the project are exported.

    Call: Text List menu; context menu

    . Requirements:

    • A text list or global text list is open and active.

    • The visualization encodes the characters of the texts into Unicode.

      • The Use unicode strings option is selected in the Visualization Manager.

      • The VISU_USEWSTRING compiler statement of the application is set. To check this, select the Properties command in the context menu. Then click the Build tab. VISU_USEWSTRING is specified in the input field for Compiler definitions.

    At this time, a simple text file (.txt format) is created for each text list. The name of the text list is used as the file name. The directory where the files are exported is defined in Project → Project Settings → Visualization, on the General tab, in Text list files.

    A controller can read and use this format. You can copy the file to a controller, for example, and configure a setting in the Visualization Manager so that the text lists are not transferred again when the application is downloaded.
