Somewhat OT: How to back up player notes?

rocketeer · #1 03-20-2007, 10:01 PM

I'm sorry if the answer to this is somewhere obvious, but I have searched, emailed PS to ask them for help (no response), etc. and I am at a loss.

I would like to transfer the player notes I have taken within the Poker Stars software from one computer to another computer. How do I get these notes, back them up, copy them?

Thank you in advance.

Very simple. Within your PokerStars directory will be a file called notes.txt. Email that file, or transfer that file to a disk, then save the file to your new computer.

What about combining notes from two computers?

copy/paste the text from one notes.txt file into the other and save.

Thanks, guys! It is so simple - but only if you know it's there!

Good luck out there.

Question. Does anyone know if since this file uses Notepad to open, is there a chance that after 3 years of playing on Stars, that when new notes are made, older ones are purged from the file?

I ask this because I read that Notepad does have a file size limit.

Thanks

this wasnt so simple on party; it may be on stars idk. on party they had to be in alphanumeric order. i had a program that would sort a list for me into this order. forgot what it was called.
