export particular hands

[dbabo]

Hello,
is there a way to "export " only particular ( marked) hand histories in such a way that they have all information - cards, suits bid sizes etc?

Case:
i want to discuss the hand(s) i played with my friend, so i would like to send him a few hands and once he imports them into PT4 we can discuss in the detail.

Please advise

Yes - select the hands you're interested in (shift-click or control-click to select multiple hands) then right-click > Export Hand Histories.

If you want to export a set of marked hands which are not all visible together in any single built-in report, go to My Reports and create a new "Hand" report with the default settings. At the top of the report select the tag(s) you're interested in from the "no tags selected" dropdown, and make sure that the "most recent X hands" number is large enough to display all of the tagged hands. Press control-A to highlight all hands in the report and then use right-click > Export Hand Histories.

i see. it produces the cvs file How do i import it ?

That's what you get if you Export Report.

You want to Export Hand Histories - it's lower down in the right click menu. That will give you the hands which you can import via Get Hands From Disk.

ekh. sorry - missed the critical part. thank you Kraada
And once i import them, how do i locate them ? (My hands are over 3 months period.)

Sorry, from your original post I thought you'd already marked the hands.
To mark a hand right click it and choose Tag Selected Hands.
Once you've tagged your hands you'll be able to filter them in a custom report as I suggested.

my mistake, i should gave been clear.
here is the use case:
Player A has a list of marked HH that he wants to send to user B
Work-flow:
mark hands, follow your instructions no how to export them.
User B - imports the file by using " import from disk".

Question:
once the hands imported, is there an easy way to locate them?

the only options i see are locate by date/stake but i dont see anything like" see last imported hands'.

There isn't a built in function like that but we can build a custom report to show hands that were imported recently.

I'll make a note to do that for you and post it here. Would the last hour be sufficient for you?

[WhiteRider]

As a quick alternative B could create a new database to import the hands to, so that it would only include those specific hands.

Database > Database Management > New.
Remember to set it as "Active" before importing.

this sounds like a good quick fix. Can you make this report based off the dynamic time range? For example last hour, last 30 minutes, ... last 5 minutes?

Another possible solution would be to add some kind of marker to the HH file that is recognized by PT only as "marked hand".

Let me know and thank you in advance

Re: new DB - that's too much hassle for a few hands. Plus A's HH has more meaning when there are stats on other opponents.

Which basically means that the imported hands might already exist in the B's database....
it's getting more complicated ....

Is there a way to purge the HHs in the DB based on the Hand Id or ( better) the those from the file?
