Title: Sequence number in delimited text files?
Post by: Tanguero on May 12, 2007, 07:17:25 pm

I am working on a project where I need to export playlists in delimited text format, and it would really help if I could get the sequence number (from the Seq. column) included in each record of the file. Is that possible? I have tried to export all columns, but it is not included there. I have tried to export with column selection based on the present view, but I cannot eplicitly choose the Seq. column.

Does anybody have any ideas?

I suppose you can use the Counter() function on a expression column to make this happen, or...?

Never tried the counter before, and it doesn't work the way i presumed when i tried it now. So i don't know how to use it...

It seems that the "Seq." field is included after all if it is defined in the view, so I guess I just have to define a view that works both for viewing and for post-processing. It would be better though if the column were included when I export all columns. Something for the helpful MC people to change in the design? The counter() is new to me, but it seems worth trying.
