Whoops! I didn't realize anyone was using that Textfile module. We can resurrect that if you'd like (call it ParseableTextfile).
There's also the INIFile Reporter. That might be your best bet, since there's a Config::INIFiles CPAN module. (Your wrappers are in Perl, right?) Though wouldn't it be even easier if there were a PerlDumper Reporter module so you could read in the data *directly* to your Perl wrappers? Your wrapper would do no parsing then. E.g., open(FILE, "< $file"); undef $/; $mtt_results = <FILE>; -Ethan On Mon, Jul/09/2007 06:07:51PM, Tim Prins wrote: > Hi, > > With the new version of MTT, the textfile report file > format changed to a more human readable format.
