Clash Results Export API

Anonymous — Tue, 23 Sep 2014 04:26:03 GMT

I'd like to create a custom exporter for clash results. Is there an API to do this instead of exporting an XML file and then converting that?

Hi Derek,

All information of Clash Results are available with API, but there is not a direct API can export to any format you desired. You will need to get these information and write the report yourself to Excel, CSV, XMl ,whatever.

you can also parse the XML file (by Windows API) and write out in another format.

Thanks for your response.

I understand I will have to acecss the clashes from the API itself, but I am curious if I can add it as an option to the default exporter interface. Please see the attached screenshot for what I am referring to.

I also understand that if this is not possible, I can create my own interface for it. Though, I would like to avoid this because it would not be very intuitive.

Sorry，this built-in dialog is not customizable currently.
