For this, use "Commands->Text output for current range", or press CTRL+ALT+T.

Hello Scylla,

I apologize if this is a question you've answered before, but the thread is very long and a quick search didn't turn up what I was looking for:

I would really like to be able to mass import / export ranges using the `text output` format - that is, a human readable version of the ranges. I cobbled together a script that takes the newdefs2 file in Flopzilla 1 and creates a list of ranges from that (https://github.com/bthallion/flopzilla-range-exporter), but I haven't been able to work out how to create a list of ranges (which I could do programmatically from a number of different sources) and import them into flopzilla.

I know there is the export / import predefined ranges feature, but this uses some kind of cipher that I haven't been able to figure out how to create. If you have tips on how I could create a text block that this feature would accept, or any other way to create a text file that flopzilla would accept, that would be super helpful, I can't be the only one that would like to import many ranges without doing it by hand.

Thank you!!
Ben

For this, you could place the ranges in a directory, with each range being stored separately in a .txt file.
It's also possible to use directories and sub-directories to represent categories and sub-categories.

Then, go to "Settings->Import predef ranges", select "pio/monker/other", click on "IMPORT RANGES" and select the directory with the .txt files in it.
See the screenshot below.

Here is a sample .zip document with some example files/directories:

That is perfect thanks!

This does raise one more issue, and this one is more of convenience, but is it:
1. Possible to export all of the ranges in Flopzilla2 to a human readable text file or directory, or
2. Generate a newdefs2 file or otherwise import into Flopzilla1 from Flopzilla2

The main reason I ask is I've already gone through the effort of parsing the newdefs2 file and if I can help it I'd like to not do the process again for newdefs3 haha.

Thanks,
Ben

Exporting ranges in human readable text is currently not available, but I'll make a note of it for future releases.

Using Windows 8 (and something similar in Windows 10+)
For Flopzilla Pro: C:\Program Files (x86)\FlopzillaPro\FlopzillaPro\config\prefloprank ings.txt

For Flopzilla V1.x there are files in: C:\Program Files (x86)\Flopzilla\Flopzilla\ranges
README.txt acts as the directory for the program and has some instructions
Each range has its own file (e.g. nolimit.txt)

If you wish to modify these files (I would make a backup first), you can open Notepad as an Administrator.

The files that you are referring to are for preflop rankings (these are used by the slider below the starting hand matrix).
The question was regarding predef ranges.
