Saving keyframe data to text

Support Animation and Rigging
1

Is it possible to save the location and scale of all my animation key frames to a text? Is there an add-on similar to the CSV F-Curve importer for exporting single item actions?

My problem is I want all of the saved keys from the dope sheet for a cube to export to a text box or text file.

For example:
In frame 1 a cube is at position 0,0,0 with scale 1,1,1
and then 10 frames later it is at 0,1,0 with scale 2,2,2.
I’d like the output to be something like:
frame, x,y,z,scalex,scaley,scalez
1,0,0,0,1,1,1
2,0,1,0,2,2,2

Have you taken a look at the .X file format? It sounds like it supports the parameters you need to export.

Yes Atom, that looks like it will work. The export even has the option of not including the mesh which is what I wanted.
