Hi,

I am trying to extract the text from a drawing table and save it to a text file.

I am able to get a hold of the table that I want to extract text from, but struggle to get the text.

Here's what I have so far:

If I leave the "MyTextChar" line I get a fatal error in CREO.

The parameter "&CurrTbl" is a table I select earlier in the code base on a criteria (this part works).

My goal is to replicate the export to CSV, but with a different delimiter and also control better the output filename.

 

Thanks

hi all,

Take a look at the code comments for  ProWstringToString(...) declaration, read the comments about the size of the resulting string buffer...

the code in question should look somewhat like this:

{
	char* my_text_char = NULL;
	my_text_char = (char*) calloc(sizeof(char), wcslen(CellText[0]) * 3);
 assert( NULL != my_text_char);
	char* p_chr = ProWstringToString( my_text_char, CellText[0]);
	assert( NULL != p_chr);
}
