How to export lines with ReportTextFile Device

rbuser

hi all,

the ReportTextFile device provided by reportbuilder succeeds in
emulating the report in text mode but dont give any possibility to
export graphics like lines shapes etc...

is there any way to obtain a report with some "grafics" like that :


Report Title
?T?T?T?T?T?T?T?T

?X?T?T?T?T?T?T?T?T?T?T?T?T?T?T?T?T?T?T?T?T?T?T?T?T?T?T?[
?U Product ?U Qte ?U Price ?U Total ?U
?^?T?T?T?T?T?T?T?T?T?T?T?T?T?T?T?T?T?T?T?T?T?T?T?T?T?T?a
?UXXXXXXXXXX ?U 2 ?U 1.20 ?U 2.40 ?U


thanks.

Hi,

The built in text file device will not export graphics such as lines and
shapes. In order to do so, you would need to create a custom text file
device that converts these report components to their equivalent text
representations. Take a look at the ppFilDev.pas file for how the Text File
Device is currently implemented.
