 * When I export, I get something like this:
 * QUICKPAGEPOSTREDIRECTYToyOntzOjE4OiJxdWlja3Bwcl9yZWRpcmVjdHMiO2E6OTE2OntzOjYwOiIvNDA0LmFzcHg/
   YXNweGVycm9ycGF0aD0vZXh0ZXJpb3IvZV9QYXJhbGxhbVBTTF90cm
 * Except it goes on for a bit since I have a lot of redirects setup. Is there a
   specific file type (besides .txt files) to open this with? If not, I’d like to
   export these redirects somehow, to sort then re-import. Ever seen this type of
   format when exporting?

 * SimeOn,
    That is just a text file – but the data is a base64 encoded serialized
   array of all of your redirects. I did not have time when I was programming the
   release of the plugin to finish that section and make it easier to read, so that
   was the best solution at the time.
 * I do have a page set up where you can convert the file contents into a readable
   set of redirects (one per line, PIPE separated). You can use it as much as you
   want until we have the new version of the plugin out which will solve that issue.
 * You can find it here:
    [http://fischercreativemedia.com/qppr_convert.php](http://fischercreativemedia.com/qppr_convert.php)
 * Just copy the content into the textarea and click process. It will give you a
   clean file to edit. Then if you want to restore them on your site, paste the 
   edited file back onto the textarea on the same page and click process again and
   it will output the data in the correct way to restore them on your site (it detects
   if it is encoded or readable automatically).
 * Hope this helps a bit.
    Warm regards, Don

 * @sime0n-
 * No problem – the latest version (5.0.3) has this function now built in.
    Warm
   regards, Don
