I mean I d like to use the 18 'words' (or more like Smiley 4 letter hashes) which are the backup for my Armory wallet in some other wallet. I believe this is "swiping"?
No, it isn't called "swiping"... and it isn't "sweeping" either. If you use a seed mnemonic from one wallet in another, it is called "importing" or "restoring".

anyway, is it possible?
if yes - in what wallets.
No, you cannot use an Armory backup in any other wallet. Armory backup words are ONLY compatible with Armory wallet.

I need to do it to avoid a hard work of trying to move Bcash out of my, (now emptied of Bitcoin) prefork address wallet.
You would need to export your private keys from Armory and then "import" or "sweep" those using a Bitcoin Cash wallet like "Electron Cash" (https://electroncash.org/#download) or "Bitcoin ABC" (https://www.bitcoinabc.org/) or one of the BCH wallets here: https://www.bitcoincash.org/

To export your keys, you can use the following menu options in Armory:
- Wallet Properties
- Backup This Wallet


- Select "Export Keys List" (top left box)
- Click "Export Keys List" (bottom box)


- Select the following options: "Address String", "Private Key (Plain Base58)","Include Unused (Address Pool)"... and make sure "Omit spaces in key data" is checked


You'll end up with a list of all the addresses and private keys displayed in the text box. The private keys will be labelled as "Plain Base58"

You can then "import" or "sweep" those private keys using the BCH wallet of your choice.

Yes, its possible you can sweep or export private keys individually if what bitcoin address with balances that you can import into electrum or other wallets that accept private keys like mycelium or coinnomi wallet on mobile.

The seeds of the armory are different so it's not compatible with electrum so I suggest that you export the private key instead.

I stop using this wallet, but I found a guide how to get the private keys. Follow the step below

  • Open Armory
  • Double click on the wallet that contains the address you sent funds to
  • Double click on the address that you sent funds to
  • Click on "View Address Keys"
  • Enter your password and click Unlock
