ExportProperty

Use this command to export a specified property of variables of object type to an external text file.

Syntax:

EXPORTPROPERTY ObjectVarName.Property Filename [APPEND]

where:

  • ObjectVarName is the object.
  • Property is the property of the object specified to export.
  • FileName is an ASCII file containing the data. It can include a complete or partial folder path in the format C:\...\FileName. If FileName includes spaces, enclose it in double quotation marks; for example:

    @"C:\My Documents\My Data.txt"

    Note: If the document is in the same location as lv_af.exe, you do not need to specify the drive or path. If the path specified does not exist, it will be created. The folder path can have a maximum length of 260 characters.

  • APPEND directs the command to place the variable’s value in a new line of an existing text file.

If the named text file does not exist, it is automatically created, even if APPEND is part of the command.

Caution: If the named text file already exists and APPEND is not designated, the existing text file will be overwritten and any data stored in it will be lost.

Syntax example:

EXPORTPROPERTY TestObject.comments ExportObjectProperty.txt

Syntax example:

EXPORTPROPERTY TestObject.anyNumber ExportObjectProperty.txt APPEND
