Exporting Data

This utility transfers files from the ObitEditor to a "CSV" file. CSV files are text files with values separated by commas. These files are a very common format that many programs can open.

The export utility will export the publisher sources, archives, and the obituary information.

Exporting to a CSV File

Using the ObitEditor Program:

From the upper right hand side of the ObitEditor screen, click on the "CSV Import / Export" tab. Press the "Import Export" button.

Setup

Very few steps are required.

• Select a data file to work with:
  • Press the "Select File" button
  • or use the file that is automatically loaded by the ObitEditor.
• Choose the export file names:
  • Press the "Select File" buttons "Export To:" files.
  • or press the "Auto Create Export Filenames" button.
• Select which type of data to export: All, Obituaty fields, Publisher Source, or Archive Information fields.
• Press the "Export" button.

When the utility is finished exporting the files you may open the output file in another program such as Microsoft Excel or a plain text editor.
