Rob,

I have created an armybuilder file and I want to have it print out a
hard copy of every squad/skill/weapon etc. But I don't want it
printed like a roster list I want it to have extra things like the
min/max number of units in a squad, what weapons or skills may
choosen
and their cost, things like that. While still maintaining the look of
the roster list. The html and text save options are close but not
quite what I'm looking for. any ideas would be helpful.

thank
Mario

There is currently no such facility within Army Builder to do this. At
present, there is no way to extract the unit size limits (min/max), the
complete set of available options for a unit, or anything else like this
from AB. There is also no good way to do this in a nice format from within
ABCreator. If your goal is to get a list of available selections for
creating your own data files, then ABCreator offers some export facilities
that may give you what you need.

To generate the informatoin you specify below, probably your best solution
would be to save the data files out as text files. You can then write a
small tool to read in the text files, extract the fields that you want,
match up all the options to units, and then print out a useful synthesis of
the information. The text files are simple, tab-delimited files, so the
only real work will be in matching up the units/options (via the link
records) and then chasing through instances of the "more" attribute to
identify chained options.

Hope this helps,
Rob
