Comment #6 on issue 1018 by [email protected]: need better suffix than ".txt" for plain text files
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=1018
You seem to be making this problem much bigger than it is. All I want is *another* suffix besides .txt to choose from for pipe delimited files. This new suffix doesn't have to be the "de facto" robot format.
All I want is a) for robot to parse and run these files when fed to it, and b) to find these files when it loads all the tests in a directory. Nothing more. Like I said earlier, there's already a precedent for supporting multiple suffixes for the same file format so this isn't breaking any new ground.
As to your concern that my original problem won't be solved just by adding a new suffix, I assure you it would. My problem is simply that I don't want to use .txt for pipe-separated files. Giving me another choice solves that problem.
