The more you want at once the more work it will be since the UI engine does not support processing loops and I would basically have to make a line of code for each line you would want to export automatically (but it can be done).
Also for the format, I have been able to extract the following information:
ID: An Integer ID code for the event (same format as event ID's in you log files)
Type: Event type, this is an integer as well.
Text: Event Text
Date: Event Date
What of this would you like me to dump and in which format exactly?

Oh gm9, I am so sorry that I took so long to reply! I gave up hope too early I guess... stopped checking for posts in this thread... LOL I've been doing a cumbersome process of screenshot, crop, resize, black and white, negative then OCR to extract the text in the guild events log. You can see the results at
www.goldenspoon.org (shameless plug for my guild
) to give you an idea of what I am trying to do.
My apologies again, I didn't notice your PM until I logged in to download the latest Profit UI to try with EoF. I'm not sure what to make of the discussion on loops; I'm guessing that has to do with processing a range of events by incrementing the event ID. Compared to the error-prone and labour intensive process that I am doing now, I would not mind exporting events one at a time!
I think the type, text, and date would be very useful in CSV format. If the individual exported events could be appended to a single file, I could import that into a spreadsheet and sort the columns to quickly produce the type of summaries that I posted to my guild's website. Thanks again for working on this and I'm really looking forward to trying this out!
Guild historians rejoice!
