how to export ANSI values to txt

edit

Here is some code I use, hopefully you can leverage portions of it to save yourself some time.

 def __ANSI(self, out_file_identifier, out_file_path, subsystem):
        ierr, busarray = self.psspy.abusint(subsystem, 1, 'NUMBER')
        if ierr: return ierr
        busarray = busarray[0]
        # skip rerun
        if not os.path.isfile(os.path.join(out_file_path, '%d_ANSI_rawData_tot.txt' % out_file_identifier)):
            ierr = self.psspy.report_output(2, os.path.join(out_file_path,
                                                            '%d_ANSI_rawData_tot.txt' % out_file_identifier))
            if ierr: return ierr
            vltary = [1.05 for x in busarray if x]
            cptary = [0.033 for x in busarray if x]
            # total current
            ierr = self.psspy.ansi_2([0, 0, 0, 5, 0], [40, 80, 40, 80], len(busarray), busarray, vltary, cptary, '')
            if ierr > 0:
                self.log('ERROR PERFORMING ANSI %s - Error code %s' % (out_file_identifier, ierr), 'error')
            ierr = self.psspy.report_output(2, os.path.join(out_file_path,
                                                            '%d_ANSI_rawData_sym.txt' % out_file_identifier))
