extracta and .pad files

DominiqueP over 12 years ago

Hello,

Is it possible to use extracta to extract some data directly from .pad files, such as shapes or thermal relief names ?

I am using Allegro 16.5

I don't think that there is an extracta method, you could use "pad_designer.exe -nographic -s <script_file>.scr" where script_file.scr contains:
setwindow form.padedit
pse_open
fillin "<pad_file>.pad"
pse_summary
setwindow text
save
fillin "<report_file>.txt"
close
setwindow form.padedit
-You would need to build the scripts to dump a list of pad files from a given directory and then look at the pad files generated - you can also get the report from the pad_designer UI on a pad by pad basis.

Hello,
Thanks for your answers.
Finally, I found a solution: I used the following command:
report -v pad <padfile.pad> <outputfile.txt>
This command outputs a file in csv format that contains all informations I needed, and even more...
