# Export ASCII

This dialog is activated by selecting the command Export ASCII from the File Menu. The command is active if there is at least a table window in the project.

This command is used to export all or a part of the data of a project to an ASCII file. Alternatively you can also choose to export the tables/matrices to one of the following formats: TeX (.tex), Open Document Format (.odf) or as web pages (.html).

Figure 5-40. Export of a selection in a table to an ASCII file.

In this example of export of a table selection to an ASCII file, the names of the selected columns are exported as the first line of the file. The comments displayed in the table header are exported as the second line of the file and a TAB character is used as a separator between the columns. Only the two selected columns are exported.

If the "Include Column Names" option is not checked, the names of the columns will be set to C1, C2,... in the exported file. The formatting of the numbers is kept in the ASCII file, so you have to be careful to obtain a good enough precision in the ASCII file.
