This is a follow up to a previous question
previous question: BarTender project - exporting printer code templates

Second Revision: Bartender Project - exporting printer code templates - Follow-up-2

From the first edit to this, I have changed the program use less of a procedural approach. Is this too much? When do you start breaking things into a separate class?

I feel like I'm stretching to make the bottom functions (but at the same time, it is a lot easier to read)

using System;



namespace BarTender

{

    class btExport

    {



        // Used for manual input

        static private string input = null;

        static private string output = null;

        // Dummy Variable

        private const string DataExportPath = "";

        // Declare a BarTender application variable

        static private BarTender.Application bartenderApp;

        // Declare a BarTender document variable

        static private BarTender.Format format;

        // Declare a BarTender printer code template variable

        static private BarTender.PrinterCodeTemplate printerCodeTemplate;

        // Declare an object variable

        static private System.Object obj = null;



        static void Main(string args)

        { 

            ///////////////////////////////////////////

            // Only start BarTender when needed, otherwise use old instances

            try

            {

                // Store this instance as an object variable in C# 

                object newBtApp = System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.GetActiveObject("BarTender.Application");



                // Convert the object variable to a BarTender application variable
