Export Preferences
The Readerware Export Preferences tab is used to control the exporting
of data from the Readerware database. Readerware supports exporting to
the following file formats:
CSV, (Comma Separated Value)
TAB delimited
UIEE, (Universal Information Exchange Environment)
HTML.
Palm Pilot
Database Column Selection
Current View Columns - The Readerware export feature works
together with the views. If this option is selected,
the current view columns are exported in the order they appear. This means
that all the columns displayed in the results table are included in the
export file.
Select database columns - If selected you can define which
database columns will be included in the export file. The export feature
still works together with Readerware's powerful searching capabilities,
but rather than export the database columns displayed in the current view,
the columns you select from the list below are always exported, regardless
of the screen contents.
All columns with a green check mark,
,
next to them will be exported. Those with a red cross,
,
will not. Double click on any item to toggle its state. To change the
order the columns are written to the exported file, select an entry and
use the up and down arrow buttons, 
,
to change its position.
Export options
Output Header Line - If checked Readerware will output a
header line to CSV and TAB delimited export files. This line will list
the columns included in the export file, separated by the appropriate delimiter.
This enables you to automatically map the data to the correct database
fields on import. Not all programs support this feature, some will treat
the header line as data. In that case, simply turn this option off. Readerware
does support this option on import, so if you plan to import this file
into another Readerware database, ensure this option is on.
UPPERCASE Title - If checked, Readerware will convert
titles to uppercase before writing them to the export file.
Split Title/Subtitle - Some sites will include a title
and subtitle separated by a colon. For example "Child's Play : A Dalziel/Pascoe
Mystery". If this option is checked Readerware will export this title format
into two separate fields, the Title, ("Child's Play") and the Subtitle,
("A Dalziel/Pascoe Mystery").
The Button Panel
Once you have made your changes, click on OK to save them
and have them take effect. Click on Cancel to discard your
changes. Note you only have to click on OK when you have
finished all your changes, you can move between tabs and only click OK
when you are done. This will close the Readerware preferences dialog.
