Google docs//spreadsheet//.csv export
I have CGA and I find it really good at allowing me to hone in the exact sort of PC I want, however my online gaming group has largely switched to using google docs for character sheets (which makes sense, we all get to see each others sheets, GM gets to use search functions, etc).
Is there an export filter or character sheet that will provide an output that would be easy to paste into google docs, or some sort of spreadsheet/.csv output? This way I get the best of both worlds, I can keep/update my sheets in the easy to look at google docs spreadsheet format, and I can build my character on my machine in GCA. |

Re: Google docs//spreadsheet//.csv export
You mean you want to output the character to a text file? Go to File | Export. You can export "text layout.gce" or "export filter.gce" (or any other export filters anyone might have come up with) as plain text, rich text, simple HTML, dynamic HTML (not sure what the difference is), or XML. You can also export to custom formats, but it just shoves text into the format (e.g., you can create a spreadsheet by exporting as .csv, and it'll enter the text into column A of the sheet line by line).
Export to whichever format you like, the upload to Google Docs. |

Re: Google docs//spreadsheet//.csv export
No one has written such a sheet; you'd have to write one yourself. Unfortunately the elements that go into writing a VBscript character sheet are undocumented, especially the makeup of the Char object that holds all the character data.

Wow! Thanks a lot Armin. I am away for work this week so I will likely get this for the weekend.
