Export Format (Comma- or Tab-delimited)

If you export the OffLine catalog in delimited format, then OffLine will produce a structured file suitable for use by most database and spreadsheet applications. To make it easier for you to import the resulting file to another application, the format of the exported file is presented here.

The exported file consists of one record for each file in the OffLine catalog. Each record consists of 9 fields. In a comma-delimited file, each field is enclosed in double quotes, and fields are separated (delimited) with a comma. In a tab-delimited file, there are no quotes, and fields are separated by a tab character.
