Exporting Data

Exporting Data is driven by the data in the Data Grid.

The Exported Data Format depends on the tab which has been selected e.g. Markdown or CSV.

Exporting to File​

When a tab has been selected the download button will change to match the format e.g. .md download or .csv download.

Pressing the download button will start a conversion of the data in the grid to the specific format.

File transport settings​

Downloads also support file-only transport settings:

  • line endings: LF or Windows (CR/LF)
  • optional UTF-8 BOM

These settings are useful when:

  • a Windows tool expects CR/LF
  • a spreadsheet or editor works better with BOM-prefixed UTF-8 files
  • you want the downloaded file to match the target toolchain without changing the on-screen preview text

Example:

  • preview text can stay normal LF text in the browser
  • downloaded .csv can use CR/LF plus Include BOM

Exporting to Clipboard​

To export to clipboard either:

  • select the data in the text area and use normal copy keyboard shortcuts or the right click context menu.
  • press the [Copy] button to the right of the clipboard

NOTE: if the data in the grid has been edited ensure you press the v Set Text From Grid v button before copying to the clipboard to make sure the data in the clipboard matches the data in the grid.
