12TITLE           Export NDS List
13
14OCCURRENCE      ARB_NT/File/Export/Export fields (to calc-sheet using NDS)
15
16DESCRIPTION     Writes 'field' (see LINK{glossary.hlp}) entries and other
17                information specified using the 'NDS' tool (see LINK{props_nds.hlp})
18                of 'marked species' (see LINK{glossary.hlp}) to an ascii file.
19
20                Choose the 'Export NDS List' option from the 'File' menu to
21                display the 'EXPORT NDS OF MARKED SPECIES' window.
22
23                Select a file name from the 'Directories and Files' subwindow or
24                type it to the 'File Name' subwindow.
25
26                If you want to use the exported data in an office calc-sheet,
27                the recommended mode for 'Column output' is 'TAB separated' or 'Comma separated'.
28
29                For best human readability choose 'Space padded' which uses fixed width columns.
30
31NOTES           The suffix shown or typed in the 'Suffix' subwindow is used as a
32                filter for the displayed file names and is automatically
33                appended to the file name in the 'File Name' subwindow.
34
35        The reverse dataflow is available via LINK{agde_import_calc.hlp}.
36
37EXAMPLES        None
38
39WARNINGS        Do not choose 'Space padded' if you plan to use the nds-output as input for
40                other scripts (like markSpecies.pl).
41                The nds-output has trailing spaces (as produced e.g. by libre-office) that may
42                easily lead to somewhat unexpected problems during subsequent processing.
43
44BUGS            No bugs known
