Here's the template, which creates a <tab> delimited file. What appears as visible spaces between fields is actually a tab, so, to make it work I created the template with a dummy character (*), copied it to a text editor to replace the asterisks with tabs and pasted the updated template back into PVD. If you try to put tabs in the template in PVD it moves the focus from the editor and doesn't put in the tab. That being said, here's the template:
%OPTIONS%
encoding="ANSI"
replace=";<->#9"
replace=""<->"
replace="#13#10<-> "
replace="#13<-> "
replace="#10<-> "
filter="TAB delimted Files|*.tab"
%OPTIONS%
%HEAD%Title Year Running Time MediaType Category Director Country Genre Cast LoanStatus LoanDate DueDate LoanLocation Owned Viewed Acquired Price Catalog MediaQuantity MediaRegion Color ScreenEncoding FilmProcess MadeForTV AudioMono AudioStereo AudioDD20 AudioDD51 AudioDTS AudioTHX Rating MPAA Awards Notes
%HEAD%{%value=2} {%value=5} {%value=19} DVD Unfiled {%value=53} {%value=45} {%value=44} {%value=52} None True True {%value=17} 0.00 0 1 TRUE None False False False False False False False NR [{%value=6}]
The only real problem I have is with the 'viewed' field (32). It doesn't seem to put out any information whatsoever, just adds another tab. I currently have it set to True since most of the movies I export from PVD have been viewed, but if any need to be False, I edit the extracted text file before I import it.
Also, I'm wondering is there any way to export just ONE movie, rather than all of them? Since I'm usually only adding, rather than replacing, it would be quicker to import and probably easier to edit, if it was needed.
