"RETAIN_PLAYERS" list generator?

First, if any post relative to the following question already exist, please excuse me, if wasn't able to find it because the search function of the forum seems to not working.

Here's my question.
Is it possible to create a tool that, with all club's infos (Nation, compet, ID, etc.) in his DB, can filter clubs and output a ready to use ddt file with all the "RETAINS_PLAYERS" commands writted?

I hope that i was clear enough to be understandable

The generation of the actual DDT file itself wouldn't really be a problem. The main problem would be extracting a list of the relevant names in the first place.

Assuming a method could be found to do this then it might be a good idea to expand the original scope and also use it to generate EDT files as well.

In fact, the filetring can be done under MS Excel (or any free MS office clone).
But imagine that a program can do the same with, for exemple, a .txt file.

Can u detail how the DDT's generation works?
Don't be afraid to detail, i'm definitely not a programmer

The code depends on what programming language you're using. Since you mention Excel this is how I would do it in VBA.

Quote:

Sub GenerateDDT()
Dim r as Integer
Open "C

Retain.ddt" For Output As #1
For r = 2 To UsedRange.Rows.Count
If Rows(r).Hidden = False Then
Print #1, "RETAIN_PLAYERS" " & Cells(r,1) & """
End If
Next r
Close #1
End Sub

This would create a list based on the values in the first cell of the visible rows in an Excel workbook and output them to C

Retain.ddt

For anyone else who wants to try this the code should have been:-

Quote:

Sub GenerateDDT()
Dim r as Integer
Open "C

Retain.ddt" For Output As #1
For r = 2 To UsedRange.Rows.Count
If Rows(r).Hidden = False Then
Print #1, """RETAIN_PLAYERS"" """ & Cells(r,1) & """
End If
Next r
Close #1
End Sub

I think that there was a program with FM 2005 or CM 03/04 which allowd people to create EDT and DDT files really easy.

Saying that, it didn't extract names from the db - but you could type them in and it just made life a lot easier.

Maybe it is still around?
