In any case it makes it hard for small developers to want to support the maze-like format. 6000 pages?!

Back to simple tab-delimited files for me or..


Tab-delimited text can work!

Since you're working on a Mac... Here's what I do for one client and it's close enough to a spreadsheet for their needs:


on mouseUp
  -- make the output file
  set the fileType to "XCELTEXT"
  put reportContent() into url ("file:" & fld "outputFile")

  wait 1 tick

  -- open the output file if requested
  if the hilite of btn "openOutputFile" = true then
    launch document (fld "outputFile")
  end if
end mouseUp


The 'launch' command causes the file to be opened with Excel, since the file was written with a fileType of "XCELTEXT".
