Creating and Running Programs Chapter 6

Importing and Exporting
Files

Instead of creating a new project and configuring its settings, or creating new
source or header files and editing their content, you can import existing projects,
header files and source files using the File menu’s Import command.

Only items that have been previously exported, using the File menu’s Export
command, can be imported. Exporting a file saves it as an User data eXchange File
with a .uxf extension.

Exporting Projects, Header Files and Source Files

You can export Projects, Header Files and Source Files. Although you cannot
export an executable program file, you can export and save the Project, Source file
and Header file that are used to create an executable program file.

To Export a Project, Header File or Source File.

1. Select the item to be exported, perform these steps.

2. Do one of these:

Click Export in the File menu, or

Place the cursor over the drive branch, right-click the mouse button and
click Export from the pop-up menu.

The Export To dialog box opens.

3. In the Export To dialog box, enter the name for the exported file.
4. Navigate to a location to where the file should be exported.
5. Click Save.

The exported file is saved as an User data eXchange File (with a .uxf
extension).

TIP

If you select a Project, all of its child source files and header files
also are exported.
If you select a Source File or a Header File, only the selected
Source File or Header File is exported.
