MemoLines into ASCII text file

rbuser

How can I bring the lines from a memo into directly an ascii text file?

rbuser

How is this related to ReportBuilder?

I want to reroute the output of a report into an ASCII text file. With the
definition of the file one cannot select memo and richtext components?

Hi Dirk,

you can't do that because these components are multilined.

ReportBuilder 6.03 and higher adds support for plain text memos printing to
report emulation text file as well. Rich text is not supported in this
device. Set the font of the memo to match that of hte text found in the
main reports demo #107. I believe it is courier new 9 point.

But I must give the contents of the memo into an ascii text file not in the
report emulation file. It's possible with components from James Waler or
Pragnaan Software?

You can create your own device to support this. Here is a simple example of
replacing the ascii text file device with a replacement, which is based on
the original device:
