ASE8, Saving Board Scores.

[Violet]

Hi Ian,
I have a query regarding the Board Scores..............is there any way that I can save the Board Scores in a txt file to make them look the same way as they appear on the screen in 6Reports.

When I am in 6Reports, and click on BOARDS - Destination....Screen. The scores read on the screen like so:-

Matchpoints Matchpoints
NS EW Score NS EW NS EW Score NS EW
8 v9 50 0.0 16.0 9 v7 140 3.0 13.0


When I save them in a txt File, it distorts them and they look like this:-

NSEW Scor NS EW NSEWScor N EW
v9 50 1 9v7 140 1

Is there anything I can do to solve this problem.

Thanking you
regards Violet

The problem with directing the output to a text file is the width of the report, the font in use and the number of characters in each line of the report.

Therefore when directing a report to a text file use a report layout that is not as wide.

For the board reports where you have the problem use report select of "manual", Destination "file", file type "text". Then right click on the [Boards] report button and choose "boards list" as the report name. The report will then appear in the text file like this:

Board 1 nilVul

NS+ EW+ Pairs NS MPs EW MPs
50 8v 1 6. 0.

120 2v 4 4. 2.
420 5v 6 2. 4.

460 3v 7 0. 6.
