Hi,

I want to export the info of my calibre database of books to another software, say excel or just a text file. I only want the info of the main calibre page, just the title of book, writer, size and collection not the files.

Usually I would do just a selection of all books, copy and paste on excel but I cant do that on calibre. What is the easiest way to get that info?

Thanks on advance

At a command prompt


calibredb list --fields title,authors,series,rating,publisher > database.txt


The file database.txt will contain all that data

Thx a lot for you very good software and your REALLY fast answer.

PD: Clearly we are in Olimpic time :)

How would I get the series book number to appear also?

Thanks in advance.

--fields series,series_index

Thanks mate for the prompt response.

How would you export isbn's
Thanks

Sorry for the stupid question: where is the database.txt file? I can't find it.

If you ran that command it should be in whatever current directory you were in.

The command given will generate the database.txt file. The '>' part of the command redirects output to the file following it (creating it).
