Export label files X++

Following job can be used to export multiple label files of a particular language to a folder. There is an option to save the files as a different language file as well (in case the files are to be used for translation or to be imported as different language)

static void LabelFileExport(Args _args)
{
    #File

    SysLabelFile    sysLabelFile;
    str             labelModule, labelFileName, labelLanguage;
    str             labelSaveAsLanguage, labelSaveAsFileName;
    container       labelModuleCon;
    int             i;
    FilePath        path;
    FileName        fileName;

    path                = @"D:\TempNav\LabelFiles"; // folder to export to
    labelModuleCon      = str2con("ASC,ASG"); // labels to export
    labelLanguage       = "en-us";
    labelSaveAsLanguage = "en-za"; // set as "" to export with original language name

    if (!strEndsWith(path, #FilePathDelimiter))
    {
        path += #FilePathDelimiter;
    }
    info(strFmt("Export path: %1", path));

    for (i = 1; i <= conLen(labelModuleCon); i++)
    {
        labelModule = conPeek(labelModuleCon, i);

        try
        {
            labelFileName = strFmt("Ax%1%2.ald", labelModule, labelLanguage);

            if (labelSaveAsLanguage != "")
            {
                labelSaveAsFileName = strFmt("Ax%1%2.ald", labelModule, labelSaveAsLanguage);
                fileName = path + labelSaveAsFileName;
            }
            else
            {
                fileName = path + labelFileName;
            }

            sysLabelFile = SysLabelFile::newFilename(labelFileName);
            sysLabelFile.toFile(fileName);

            if (labelSaveAsLanguage != "")
            {
                info(strFmt("Successfully exported label file %1 as %2", labelFileName, labelSaveAsFileName));
            }
            else
            {
                info(strFmt("Successfully exported label file %1", labelFileName));
            }
        }
        catch
        {
            info(strFmt("Failed to export label file %1", labelFileName));
        }
    }
}
