Convert tables into comma-delimited ASCII format
Quick reference
To convert Quantum tables into a comma-delimited ASCII file, use these commands:
UNIX
qout –p | q2cda [options] > file_name
Windows
qout –p temporary_file
q2cda [options] temporary_file file_name
More information
To convert Quanvert Text tables, run the tables in Quanvert Text using the option to save them in a file, then exit from Quanvert Text and type:
qvq2cda [options] name.exp > file_name
where name is the name of the file you entered for the tables in Quanvert Text.
q2cda and qvq2cda are postprocessors to Quantum and Quanvert Text which convert a tables file into a comma-delimited ASCII file. Files in this format can be read into many PC packages including Lotus 123 and Harvard Graphics.
These programs offer options for choosing a different delimiter, printing or suppressing table titles and percentage signs, as well as for printing user-defined strings before or after each entry in the file.
