Audacity Forum

Hi, I am running 1.3 (Beta) on Windows XP and I want to export Audacity sound data to a text file. I thought I could use the external program exporting function and so knocked up a perl script to read from stdin and write the data in the format I wanted. However when I try to use it I get the following error:
Error: Execution of command 'c:Program FilesAudacity 1.3audioout.pl - "C:Documents and SettingsxxMy DocumentsNick1 noiseless.dat"' failed (error 193: unknown error c1)
I have tested the script in a cmd window and it executes with no errors.

Any ideas what this error means and why it is appearing?

Sorry I've no idea why your script fails, but perhaps if you could explain in more detail what you are wanting to do there may be some alternative methods to achieve the same result. Why do you want to export Audacity sound data to a text file? Are you trying to produce a list of sample values?
