Hi, I was wanting to see the Liverpool Street Timetable in TXT format so it's easier to edit it and so I looked through the timetable settings and ConvData was one of the options however whenever I try and covert it comes up with random error codes like 1698328 and just the number 3.
Does anyone know how to to this?

If you can't get the text converter to work, you can export the timetable to .csv format so that you can manipulate the data with a spreadsheet program like Excel. You need to go to the F4 timetable window and the csv export button is on the Tools 1 tab.

Alternatively you can go into the wtt file (basically a zip file containing timetable header and timetable data xml files) and use a text reader like notepad or notepad++ to view the xml data.

How would you go about converting a cif file to xml format easily? hmmm

I don't know where these numbers are coming from (and I wrote ConvData), but it only works with the old timetable format and not the current one.

If any competent programmers want to do a replacement, please get in touch.

No idea, but it wasn't the question the OP asked.

They're unlikely to be random. Is 1698328 actually the error code?
