Modified Excel export definition Jun 8, 2012

Some progression here, made possible by reverse engineering .

I've modified the Excel.TED like this:

[GLOBALS]
Version=3.0

ImportView1=0`NLD.Term
ImportView2=0`
ImportView3=0`NLD.Alternative.Term
[WizardPage123]
HitPage=true
NextPage=-1


If I export this record:

using the modified TED, I get one empty column before the alternative target term:

Not exactly what I want, but I can live with it.

Question: Does someone know, how to put text (like a pipe) in 0x0413.EmptyField?

GUI? Jul 3, 2012

Hi Hans,

why don't you just use the user interface to modify the export definition?

Best regards,

Hi,

Where can I find the use of the wizard described in the documentation?

Thanks,
