2. Copy the historical_database.odb, historical_minor_database.odb, historical_lineups.odb, and historical_transactions.odb files from OOTP's "stats" directory .i.e. "/Temp/HistoricODB". - [DON'T WORK WITH THE DEFAULT FILES DIRECTLY!]
3. Create an output folder .i.e. "C:\Temp\HistoricCSV".
4. From the command line, go to directory where you unzipped the ODBtoCSV folder and run it with the input and output folders. If you used the example directorys you would enter: open ODBtoCSV "/Temp/HistoricODB" "/Temp/HistoricCSV"
#2 i used the finder to copy the database files but don't know where exactly to put the folders...
#3 how do i create a "c:" folder on a mac? thought that was a windows thing
#4 obviously i keep getting a 'file doesn't exist' message in terminal
i don't know if you can clarify things for terminal morons...

#2, if you found the files in your /ootp/stats folder, you can copy them to any folder you create
#3 doesn't have to be c: drive necessarily.
so if you copied the zipped files to a folder named /ODBtoCSV, create a subfolder in that folder named HistoricODB, and paste the .odb files from the ootp/stats folder (that you copied, not moved)
and create another folder in the same place named HistoricCSV.
Then navigate your terminal prompt to the new /ODBtoCSV folder you created (can't tell you exactly how on a mac), and simply enter the command as:
ODBtoCSV HistoricODB HistoricCSV
Your output will be in the HistoricCSV folder.
