Ceder Square Dance System (CSDS) ==> Sequences

Share selected sequences with another caller
I want to provide some sequences to another caller. E.g. sequences 55-90 from database PLUS-PAT.SEQ, which contains 435 sequences.

Is there an opportunity to do so? The export of selected sequences of a database, or the import of selected sequences into a database? As I understand CSDS does only import whole databases. I tried to open a database with word and delete the sequences I dont want to provide. But it failed, because I deleted important characters of the file accidently.

No easy way...

Do this:

  1. Run CSDS;

First, create a text file with all the sequences:

  1. From the main menu, select 'Sequence | Print';
  2. Clear the print list (click the 'eraser' button, or 'Edit | Clear list';
  3. Enter the sequence range into the print list:
        E.g.,    PLUS-PAT
                         55-90
        (make sure the line with the numbers is indented)
  4. Select 'Format = One text file'.
  5. Press the 'Print' button.
  6. Select an Output File pathname then press the 'Save' button.
  7. The sequences are written to the file, and a confirmation message box appears. Close it.
  8. Close the 'Print Sequence(s)' window.

Next, import the sequences into a new database:

  1. From the CSDS main menu, select 'Sequence | Import':
  2. For the 'Source type' (right-side), select 'Text file' (separated by at-sign (@))'
  3. For the 'Source file', select the output file created above.
  4. For the destination database, press the 'yellow sun' button to create a new database.
  5. Press the 'OK' button at bottom of "Import Sequences" window to populate the new database with the sequences from the file.

Done!
