I need help with exporting batch of TXT files

DEVONthink Feedback

I have a dissertation coming up and have started some heavy duty research , one of the parts involving download reports from companies ,

So now I have some 200 txt files which I need to export from devonthink as txt files , they are all in order(of date added) , with file name as MDA_1.txt , MDA_2.txt… --> MDA_200.txt , is there any way to automate the process ?

Selecting 2 files in devonthink only merges it , any ideas ?

Just select all of them, then use File > Export > as Files & Folders…

Hello,
Thanx for the speedy reply.

i didn’t think it would be so easy , I have one more question , i have to export every alternative file , say I have 1,2,3,4,5 …100 files like this , I need to export only 1,3,5, how can I do this wihout manually going thorugh this ?

In this case the only possible automation is to write an AppleScript but I guess just selecting them manually will be easier & faster.
