export()

A

A table sequence/record sequence/sequence to be exported

x

Fields to be exported; if omitted, then export all fields of A

F

Name of the resulting field in the string; if omitted, then use the original field name

s

User-defined field separator; default is TAB

@t

The column names will be written to the string as the first record

@c

Use comma as the separator when parameter s is absent

@w

Use Windows-style \r\n line break; by default, the line break is specified by the operating system

@q

Enclose the exported text field values and headers with quotation marks

@o

Perform escaping according to the Excel rule, which treats two double quotation marks as one and does not escape the other characters; need to work with @q

A

1

=demo.query("select EID,NAME from EMPLOYEE")

2

=A1.export()

Parameters x, F, and s are omitted.

3

=A1.export(;"|")

Specify the separator as "|".

4

=A1.export@t(EID:id,NAME:name;",")

Specify to-be-exported fields and the separator; make column names the first record and write it at the beginning of the exported string.

5

[1,23,34,45]

A sequence.

6

=A5.export()

7

=A1.export@c()

 With @c option, use default separator comma when parameter s is absent.

8

=A1.export@w()

9

=["12\r34","aa\nbb"]

10

=A9.export()

11

=A9.export@q()

 With @q option, the exported content contains quotation marks.

12

<xml><row><DEPTID>1</DEPTID><DEPTNAME>sale</DEPTNAME>

<FATHER>12</FATHER></row><row><DEPTID>10</DEPTID>

<DEPTNAME>create</DEPTNAME><FATHER>12</FATHER></row></xml>

13

=xml(A12)

Return a sequence of table sequences:

Expand members of the sequence as follows:

Then expand sub-members of the sequence as follows:

14

=A13.export()

Return JSON strings.

15

=file("D://t4.txt").import@coq()

Below is content of t4.txt:

A15’s result:

16

=A15.export@coq()

With @o option, two double quotation marks are treated as one.

f

A file

A/cs

The sequence/cursor to be exported; use separators to export when members are sequences

x

The field to be exported; if omitted, all the fields of A that can be textualized will be exported; the sign # is used to represent a field with a sequence number

F

Result field name; if omitted, then use x

s

The user-defined separator used in the text file, and the default separator is tab

@t

Export field description, or the headers, as the first row of the file

@a

Append. The appended records and the original records should be of the same structure, otherwise error will be reported. Ignore @t option if there is data in the original file; overwrite the original file by default

@b

Convert into binary file to speed up the processing and ignore @t options; won’t segment A if it is small enough, otherwise it will be segmented when being converted into the binary format;

With the option, parameter s represents a field or field expression of sequence A; when parameter s is present, A is regarded as ordered by s and create a segment only when s is changed; s should be different for the newly-added data at append

@c

Use comma as the separator when parameter s is absent

@w

Use Windows-style \r\n line break; by default, the line break is specified by the operating system; export a sequence of sequences as structured data where the first row is field names when @b option is also present

@q

Enclose the exported text field values and headers with quotation marks

@o

Perform escaping according to the Excel rule, which identifies two double quotation marks as one and does not escape the other characters

A

1

=demo.query("select * from DEPARTMENT")

2

=file("Dep.txt").export(A1;"|")

Write all fields in table sequence A1 to file, use | as the separator, and generate a file as follows:

A

1

=demo.query("select * from DEPARTMENT")

2

=file("Dep.txt").export@t(A1)

Generate a file as follows:

A

1

=demo.query("select * from DEPARTMENT")

2

=file("Dep.txt").export@a(A1)

Append A1’s content to its end.

A

1

=demo.cursor("select EID,NAME,BIRTHDAY,SALARY from EMPLOYEE")

2

=file("emp.txt").export@t(A1,NAME,age(BIRTHDAY):Age)

Export cursor A1’s NAME field and BIRTHDAY field; set Age as the result field name for computing BIRTHDAY field expression.

3

=file("emp2.txt").export@t(A1,#1,#2)

Use #1 and #2 to represent the first and the second fields in A1.

A

1

=demo.query("select * from DEPARTMENT")

2

=file("Dep.btx").export@b(A1)

The bin file to which data is written has column titles by default.

A
