Extract Subfiles from Lotus Domino XML Language Files

When a Lotus Domino XML Language (.DXL) file is extracted, its message text and header information (To, From, Sent, and so on) are extracted to a text file.

NOTE: To prevent header information from being extracted, see Exclude Metadata from the Extracted Text File.

You can make sure that dates and times extracted from Lotus Domino .DXL files are displayed in a uniform format.

To extract custom date/time formats

  • In the formats.ini file, set the DateTimeFormat option in the [dxlsr] section. For example:

    [dxlsr]
    DateTimeFormat=%m/%d/%Y %I:%M:%S %p

    In this example, dates and times are extracted in the following format:

    02/11/2003 11:36:09 AM

    The format arguments are the same as those for the strftime() function. Refer to the following webpage for more information.
