In prior versions of Auctioneer I was able to use other applications to export the LUA data to CSV. From there I would parse it into Excel and run queries, make charts, etc. I have found that the program I used, AuctionScan 5.0 no longer properly generates CSVs. Are there any updated applications for this purpose? Is there anywhere I can read up on the development of the Auction Database side application to see what its functionality is (to replace Excel).
AuctionScan 5.0 could be used in Auctioneer Classic. AuctionScan doesn't support Auctioneer Advanced. You can go to auctioneerdb.com to create a database of all the scanned auctions.
Since it's not really a priority, we don't delve into great depths, but the ScanData format and the Auc-db format are both quickly defined, so that you can parse the data with a script or program of your choice at http://wiki.norganna.org/Development#defined_file_formats .
One side project that is sort of on pause is the Auc-DB, you can get the basic charting and importing from http://auctioneerdb.com/ .
If you do work up some sort of parser, et cetera - feel free to post it.
