hi
i dont know if this allready exsisted so i wrote a py script to do this. it works on blender 2.54 and it saves a file in the directory of blender with the data in collums. you can import this file in excel.
the py script exports all the fcurves of the selected object.
if you want and would use this often i could also make a user interface…

Oh wow that’s great! I mean that is exactly what I need. However, I am using 2.49b. Can I use this in that version or can I open my file in ver 2.54? And, yes, I would use it a lot. I am actually a college student (psychology major) and am attempting to make a 3d simulation for an experiment I want to run. One of the problems I am running into is getting data from blender into programs that are better for scientific analysis of data.

wel it exports the data in the folder were blender is installed in or in the folder were the .blend file is saved. this is my first python script and i’m stil strugeling to get it to save somewere else.

i don’t realy know if you can use 2.49 file in blender 2.5 :s. but i don’t really think so :s

I tried it on r32707 (2.54) on OS X as well as r32844 (2.55) on OS X. In both instances the beginning of a GUI appears but nothing is in it. Screenshot attached. I’m not very good at python but I’ll try to find where it stops working. No errors show up in the console or report windows.
