How to export "Color Expression" from "Particle Tracing with Mass" to text file?

Hi everyone!

I'll keep this brief as I'm having trouble getting anything to post here. I'm just wondering if anyone knows a good way to export the color expression data from a "particle tracing with mass" simulation to a text file. In COMSOL Multiphysics 3.5, it was easy (just "export"...then, "current plot"). In 4.2, it seems to be much harder.

Thanks for your time!

I've been successful using a tedious approach. First, choosing "export/plot" to collect x, y, time, x-velocity, and y-velocity. Then open the text file in Excel, and delete the last 3 columns to leave just x and y. Then do a "export/data", enter my expression, and from the pull-down menu, choose "from file". Then I choose the saved file with x,y as my file, and create an output of my expression with x and y from the file. It works, but I must go through this process each time I want to create a text file. It's far more tedious than the approach in COMSOL Multiphysics 3.5. Is there a faster way in COMSOL Multiphysics 4.2?

Thanks!
