History

Description

This program takes a cube with one or more table blobs in it, and, through input provided by the user, outputs a selected table to an ASCII file, with formatting determined by user input.

Helper button has been provided in the GUI mode for the NAME parameter. The helper button will sequentially fill in the name of each table when pressed, clear the field to blank after the last table has been reached, and then wrap back to the beginning.

History

Brendan George2006-10-26 Original version
Brendan George2006-12-18 Fixed helper button
Steven Lambright2007-07-27 Changed category from Utility to Import and Export
Steven Koechle2008-05-20 Changed TO parameter to function like other applications in ISIS. It now defaults to console output when no TO file is enterd.
Christopher Austin2008-06-19 Fixed string representation and display.
Travis Addair2009-03-03 Changed helper button to only place one table name into the NAME parameter each time it is pressed
Kris Becker2010-12-10 Added a newline to the last line of the output TO file.
Jeannie Backer2012-10-04 Changed references to TableField methods to lower camel case. Ordered includes. Added g_ prefix to global variables. Added padding to control statements. References #1169.
Steven Lambright2012-12-10 Text field outputs are no longer padded with NULL (ASCII 0) characters; these characters were not intended to be part of the output. This was fixed because preserving this behavior would have been much more difficult than fixing it. References #1312.
