Hello everybody!

I would like to export the echo area configuartion with links etc, to a text file.
How would I be able to do this? Also is there a way to sort the area's by tag name?

There currently isn't an option to export areas. You can sort your areas manually by moving them around in mbsetup, but there is not an automated method available currently.

The closest you can get to it is to select main menu option 22 Create site documents

Then look at @mbse_path/share/doc/site.doc

but it does include every thing sans mbse set up.

Over the years my area's have become large and a huge mess. #-(

Thanks. It's not ideal, but better than nothing.

Also look at ./share/doc/html/msgareas.html

and if needed followed by msgarea_nnn.html for any one area but I cannot see that as useful.

You could knock up a program to read the msgareas.html and extract the import part as a text file.


The above is a possibility BUT there is NO way to import them back into mbse.

Some of this is due to the way mbse holds it's databases as against using say mysql, postgres or sqlite3.
