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 :) >________________________________ > From: jomali <[email protected]> >To: Trever L.
