If I use tiled to create a world map, can i then export the tile Numbers data to a text file so that i can then manipulate and display the map in my own code. So essentially just want the data
e.g. tile 1 water, tile 2 grass, tile 3 rock, tile 4coin, so map data would look something like this
Data "1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1"
Data "1,2,2,2,2,2,1,1"
Data "1,1,3,2,3,3,1,1"
Data "1,1,3,3,2,3,2,1"
Data "1,1,1,3,4,2,1,1"
Data "1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1"
I want to know if i can export a map created with Tiled in a raw tile number format like this mini map data above.

Try the CSV export, it should be what you’re looking for.

Many Thanks! I will download and try a test export, before commiting to use for project.

Similar question just [came up at GitHub](https://github.com/bjorn/tiled/issues/1923). Does the information provided in the [TMX format documentation](http://docs.mapeditor.org/en/latest/reference/tmx-map-format/#tile-flipping) help? Those bit flags are not used by the CSV format though, which does not support tile flipping.

Thank you, i did not see that document. I will look through it and see how those values represent the transforms. Thank you for your reply. OOOOOOh i see… yes bit flags representing far more than tile ID and transform. This is exactly what I’m looking for… Thanks again! 😃
