Re: Re: Convert HTML Table to Tab Delimited .TXT file

Thanks, Christian, and all who responded. I think this is almost exactly as it will work. The problem with using some kind of MySQL frontend is that this would involve some knowledge of dB's and SQL (can't be certain of this), and that it would be additional steps. For example, the GUI already allows 1 or more computers to be selected (up to 48, now), and the audit history button simply queries the audit_table based upon the same selection of computers for all changes made during a specified period. Having to create a query for computers 1-7, 11, 15, 16, 24, 31, etc, where start date = 'some date' and end date = now() would really be dupliating work that the GUI is already doing. > An easy way to do it (work around) is to dump it as csv or html.
