I don't know what your problem is. Did you try using the AddLineToFile() function I posted, it is about as simple as it can get. I create files from explorations all the time. It is much simpler than exporting, importing, file parsing, using jscript, using OLE, etc. You can save directly to an afl file that is used in other code as an include file. One step, without any user involvement, to do everything. Give a simple explanation and tell us the minimum you need to know to get under way. I think you are making it more complex than it is.

Mike,

I know how to do manually: do an Exploration and then follow with Export.  Yet, I want to control within afl.  I want afl to put or create the exploration in csv file.  I did read Barry Scarborough's Export EOD doc and afl.  This is different.  I saw Mike's comments about OLE and yours about OLE/js.  Have written some very simple js to control running afls.  Actually, I got an example from a friend of mine and simply cut and paste it to do what I need.  So, I have "some" knowledge about js.  Enough to read and understand it.  In any case, if you or someone has a simple example than this would be great.  I have also ready Harry's comments and tried using fopen and the like.  Not giving up.  Will keep at it, but if someone has example of exporting exploration then maybe I will get an "ahh, that is what I am doing wrong" moment.  Thanks.

Bert,

Are you still looking for an answer to this? If all you want to do is to save your exploration results as a .csv file, then do as was suggested in an earlier reply:

Click on drop arrow of AA Window "File" button, select "Export...", choose the location on disk that you want to save to.

The above will give you a .csv file of your results. If you want to automate the process, then do as one of the other replies suggested; use OLE to drive and export the exploration (e.g. from JScript).

Howard, I did read documentation.  Could not find example of writing exploration in documentation, was having problems and thus the posting here.

Hi Bis --

The documentation explains how to write data to disk files from within AFL.

You will need a sequence of:
fopen -- one time to establish the file
a loop that formats the data the way you want it, then calls fputs for each
bar
fclose -- one time to close the file and finalize the write.

Thanks,
Howard
