      One of my libraries has a class called ExtractEngine. All the data buffer and file handling methods reside there. I couldn't think of a better name. :)

        I am designing a set of objects that perform the same data export task, but differ in versions, or implementation.  They share fixed, common aspects I think fit well in a base class.  I'm having trouble naming these objects; the best I've got so far is ExportEngine, Exporter just doesn't seem right.  Any suggestions?

        I would call it 'i'. Unless that conflicts with another class - then I would call it 'ii' or maybe 'j'. These names have served me in good stead since at least the early 80's. :-D

            Sounds like you need an ExporterFactory, or possibly an ExporterProvider and ExporterProviderBase.

              Probably (and a much better name that is). I know of the Dr Doolittle oeuvre only indirectly.

                              'John'is always a good startng point. You can develope from this 'big John', 'fat John' and so on describing objects with names that, even if they dont describe exactly what their function is, do at least make them familiar, which is half the battle.

                                Why in the soapbox? Anyway, name the common elements something (ie BradysFormat) and then call it a Writer as in BradyFormatWriter.

                                  Thanks Pete, I think I'll go with ExportTestProvider, as the class uses an Export class to perform test exports.
