I was in the process of moving my DNS from MediaTemple to Route53 and was having trouble making sure I’d moved all of the entries. I decided I’d just export a zone file to do a comparison in a text editor.
Surprise! You can’t.
Instead, here’s a quick bit of jQuery, which is already available in the MediaTemple control panel. Just navigate to the zone file editor, open your console, and use this:
$.each($(".dns_record"), function(i, el) {
name = $(el)
.find(".u-nowrap input")
.val();
type = $(el)
.find("select.dropdown-select")
.val();
data = $(el)
.find("td input.textInput--full[name^='data']")
.val();
console.log(name + " " + type + " " + data);
});
From here, it’s pretty easy to clean up and convert. Good luck!
