Yes, I have been reading about the JSON work, but I prefer not to go that route. Personally, I want to automate only the steps I use for my projects. Check in/Check out, Merge, Compare, Commit, Inspect Leaves, etc. I have no desire to make a grandiose do everything GUI and I tire of using/remembering many cmd.exe scripts and their terse nature. That said, I would appreciate some sort of delimited textual output from fossil.exe if no C dll exists or is contemplated. This is not me knocking a very fine product, only wishing. :) Maybe a '-csv' option to drop the "verbose" formatting and instead dump the command issued and the fields separated by comma or some such character.

Can the documentation explain the expected outputs? Thanks for fossil!
