This is a little utility to allow you to export all text and field members to a text file for simple proofing, then with one command, pull them all back in. It works like so... exportText(fileNameOfNewFile, listOfCastlibsToUse) Example... exportText("C: ext.txt", [1,2,4]) This would export all text and field members in casts 1,2 and 4 to a file named c: ext.txt. To pull it back in just do this... importTextBack(fileToImport, listOfCasts) While editing, be sure not to remove any of the key names (1=, etc) as they are necessary to ensure that every line gets put back in the correct place.
