Export Button

The Export button will allow the user to export the data to three different formats so that the data can be viewed as a separate file.  The three formats are: CSV, TSV, and TXT.  Clicking on this button will display a sub-menu filled with the various export functions.  Exporting the tabular data to any format will require the user to give a file name and a location for the file in the common Windows Save As dialog.

Data To CSV

This option will export the tabular data to a CSV (*.csv) format.  CSV stands for Comma Separated Values.  A .csv file is typically viewed through a spreadsheet program, such as Microsoft Excel, with each column in the tabular data corresponding to a column in the .csv file, and each row in the tabular data corresponding to a row in the .csv file.

Data To TSV

This option will export the tabular data to a TSV (*.tsv) format.  TSV stands for Tab Separated Values.  A .tsv file is typically viewed through a text-editing program, such as Microsoft’s Notepad or WordPad, or Helios’ TextPad.  Each column in the tabular data corresponds to a column in the .tsv file separated by a tab, and each row in the tabular data corresponds to a row in the .tsv file.

Data To TXT

This option will export the tabular data to a TXT (*.txt) format.  TXT stands for text, and .txt files usually contain no special formatting.  A .txt file is typically viewed through a text-editing program, such as Microsoft’s Notepad or WordPad, or Helios’ TextPad.  Each column in the tabular data corresponds to a column in the .txt file separated by a tab, and each row in the tabular data corresponds to a row in the .txt file.
