By using the Save As command and selecting either the master text or control text file type, you can save the current recipe as a text file. You may find saving a text recipe helpful when you want to do one of the following tasks:
- Complete large editing tasks by using a third-party text editor or spreadsheet.
- Convert existing recipes for use with iFIX.
- Convert a binary master or control recipe to a text file prior to downloading it.
For information on the file format of a recipe text file and how to edit it, refer to the chapter Text Recipe Format.
