Printing Comma Delimited Text Files...?

rbuser

Hi, I'm attempting to print a Comma Delimited Textfile and am running into
problems (in Report Builder 6.03 Enterprise).

I was wondering if it's possible in code to produce textfile output to a
TMemoryStream (or similar) object?

I know the RBExport Components allow output to a MemoryStream but not in a
plain text format.

If it's not possible to output to a MemoryStream, perhaps to a file as I can
then read it back into memory.

Any help here would be greatly appreciated - thanks!

Regards,
Nigel Huband.

The way that RB prints to file is to use a file stream. Take a look in
ppFilDev.pas in RBuilder\Source to see the code. What is the problem taht
you are encountering? You could create your own device that performs you
custom operations instead of trying to post process it and save it down.
Here is a simple example of replacing the text file device:
