Title: Automated playlist export as a delimited file?
Post by: Matchbox on September 16, 2008, 08:52:19 pm

I see how to export playlists using MC12.exe, but is there any way to export a playlist as a delimited ascii using MC12.exe?

I see no way to specify the delimited output format using MC12.exe as there is when exporting within MediaCenter itself.

I suggest a straight copy and paste into excel.  That's what I do - and then you can do what you want from there.

Thanks, but I am looking for a totally automated way to get the export in delimited form so a program I wrote can process it and make some stats available for display.  I'd run this daily in the early morning.

But unless there is a way to export to delimited ascii from the command line, my idea will not work at all, and it will still be a manual process in MC to do it from the FILE menu.
