Hi Jamey,

I find kbase great, but do you have exporting methods? eg, i can see that
you can import csv files, but how do i convert/export it back to csv?

i plan to use something like 

k_open("csvfile",:COMMA-DELIMITED) do |f|
   # f now is kirbybase, so execute db/select commands at will :-)
   #
end

# after exit, csvfile is still comma delimited

k_open("/etc/passwd",:COLON-DELIMITED) do |f|
   # f now is kirbybase, so execute db/select commands at will
   #
end

# after exit, /etc/passwd file is still colon-delimited file


k_open("/etc/postfix/main.conf",:EQUAL-DELIMITED) do |f|
   # f now is kirbybase, so execute db/select commands at will
   #
end

# after exit /etc/postfix/main.cf is still the usual config file
# of course, i treat config files as two columns only


Of course, you see where i am going. I want to treat everything as plain
kirbybase (including other dbs)...

thanks and kind regards -botp
