I apologize if this has been answered in the past.

I recently played a couple of session using the web version. This morning I went to review one of those sessions. The hand records were not in the usual folder: .../bridge base online/hands/timg. I guessed that I had not turned on a logging option in Web-BBO, but upon looking I see no such option.

Using "My BBO" then "Hands and results" then "Recent hand" I can find the hand records, but only one hand at a time, not the old "scoreboard" way of browsing through the scores and selecting hands to be viewed. I like that "scoreboard" version because the session could easily be exported to a text file (for convenient e-mail discussion).

Is there a way to generate bridge movie files from Web-BBO sessions?

Thanks,
Tim

Not currently. Flash can't easily write to files on your PC.

www.bridgebase.com has a link to hand records at the top. is that good enough?

When I play a session using BBO-WIN, a file of the hands is automatically generated on my computer. I can open that file through BBO-WIN's "Open Bridge Movie from your computer" option. After it has been opened, I can use the printer icon to generate a text file of the session. This text file is very convenient for later review and discussion via e-mail.

I can also use the generated Bridge File in an application like Double Dummy Solver to review the hands from a session.

What I am asking is if there is a way to generate the Bridge File which contains all the hands from a session when playing via BBO-WEB.

I can view individual hand records a couple of different ways, but what I am looking for is a file with all hands from a session or tournament.

Flash has restrictions on when applications can read or write to a file on your local disk. IIUC, they can only do so after explicitly prompting the user in an open-file or save-file dialogue. This is for security purposes, so that things like Flash ads can't access your disk without your permission.

Hi,

an option would be to use some scripting, like pearl together with
the LWP = "Library for WWW access in Pearl".
Given that you have the URL to the myhands records, it should be
possible to come up with a script, which downloads all lin files
associated to your user.
The next step would be to merge them, and thats it ...

The above should be easy for someone, who is used to creating scripts,
I never was, I only did it once to support my brother in his thesis, but
maybe you know someone who is and owes you more than a beer.

With kind regards
Marlowe
