Hallo,  
is there a way to dump to a file the list of tags which are used in a page? I thought I could find the whole list in the file you create with the “Export …” command, but it’s practically a binary file.

Thanks in advance, regards

You could try to dig into the XML of the screen.  
You have to hold down shift and right click on the window name in the project browser. You will then see an option to copy the XML into the clipboard.  
Paste it into a program like notepad++ and try to make sense of it to find tag names.  
I’m not sure how it would interpret indirect tags though…

Hi brandon1,  
very interesting your suggestion, I didn’t know about that. To be honest, reading through the XML, even with some automated routine it’s not so easy, also because all of my bindings are indirect addressing.  
Many thanks, regards
