Export patch to spreadsheet/ excel

Hmmm, interesting.

Someone will probably have an answer here shortly.

In the meantime, I wonder if on HOG PC if you print to a file can you then import that into excel?

I've used drivers that list in with printers for creating PDF's.
You would just need one that does a text file.

If we are talking about exporting patch here... Does anybody else think it would be a good options to be able to export the patch to CSV format? I havn't used Excel to its full form in a while, but I seem to remember being able to use CSV with Excel... or maybe its Access I am thinking of..? Anyway, I think export to text or CSV would be a good option... or is that just me!?

Thanks,

Try printing to a PDF file as others have suggested. There are a number of free PDF creators out there, and almost everyone can read PDFs.

There are also tools that can extract text from PDFs. You may be able to use one of these if you absolutely need text.

Joe, I prefer a Delimited text file.
Tab, Semicolon, Comma are a typical delimiter.

I am completely confused. Are we saying there is already the ability to print to pdf? I have looked again at the patch print window and i'm seeing no way to print to file.

As Joe mentioned an option to CSV file would be along the lines I was thinking.

Eric,

You need a driver that creates a file rather than spooling to an actual printer.

Google "pdf print driver".

With Hog3PC i've used PDF995. It's free and works well. You can find it at www.pdf995.com.

wouldn't be rocket science to get the hog to that would it?
