Automatic dimension output to BASIC .txt (Generic) file

I'm trying to export dimension / measurement data from programs into a text file automatically.

Currently I wait for the program to finish, and then go to file > export > BASIC > GENERIC (.txt) > Dimensions

It creates a file that looks like this (attached).

I need the files output in this format.

Is there a way to automate this step?


I have a simple java program that reads these text files and compiles / summarizes the data for each dimension.

All I want to do is get rid of the manual exporting step to make it easier for my coworkers, and anyone who is unfamiliar.

I've been reading through the PC-DMIS help documentation on File I/O, but it seems like this is for exporting specific information and single lines or blocks of text and variables.

I can't seem to figure out how to output the whole report using this command.

Any help is appreciated.

Im running PC-DMIS 2012.
