Hi :)
Once you change the settings for converting to text i think the setting stays 
the same until you re-set it.  So from then on when you use headless mode to 
save as text-files it should avoid all the commas.  


You know that ".csv" stands for Comma Separated Values and that looks like it's 
been a standard way of exchanging data in text-format for a couple of decades.  
There is also tsv but that seems to be a lot rarer.  Isn't fixed-width a really 
unusual format?  


Regards from
Tom :)
