How to export lines with ReportTextFile Device

edited November 2006 in Devices
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.
