Program to Export PM to a readable format?

[junthin]

Was just curious, is it against the terms and agreement of the forums to create a program to export the PMs and then put it in a user friendly readable manner. I'm asking since this would circumvent the 1000 PM limit.

Also, is there another program out there that does this already?

Thanks in advance.

1. No
2. Yes, don't remember who wrote it. Maybe Evadman?

Anybody else remember a program out there? Just curious or else I'd just write one instead.

Export PM's, it converst to HTML. When we did a structured export to CSV people didn't like it

You're kidding, right? Why wouldn't someone like it? No one if forcing people to use the CSV file.

Yeah, I saw the export function of the new forum software that exports to html (.aspx) file. However, it isn't exactly user friendly when you have 900+ pm's to sort through. Was thinking of making something to organize and saerch it (maybe make a local db or something <shrug>)

Thanks for the reply.

CSV would be nicer to dump into a db instead of parsing the html.

I am working on a new Database that works with the new format. I will post when complete.
