Export

Usage: losant datatables export [options] [pattern]

The export command is used to export you application’s Data Tables. To start an export run losant datatables export.

Exported Data Tables will have their ID appended to their name to ensure all data table files have unique names, and any Data Tables named with characters that are invalid for a file name will have those characters omitted.

For example: A data table named My/Data will be saved to a file named MyData-5d54770b5497ab000638v768.csv.
