usually I save Result tables as text files that use tab-delimiters.
Under "I/O Options" you can set the file extension for tables.
"Tab-separated values" is also supported.
> Dear all,
> When saving data from a results window, the created file has the extension ".csv" with "," as separator.
> When trying to open such a generated file within Excel (at least with a french version of the software) either through a Drag&Drop or File>Open process, the file gets imported as a simple text, i.e. without taking into account the "," delimiters.
> Thus the only way to correctly open such generated file is either to rename the file extension from ".csv" to ".txt" (and then open the file using the Excel importer assistant) or to make a replacement of the "," delimiter into a tabulation.
> As far as I'm concerned making such gymnastics is trivial and straight forward, nevertheless it is very unfortunately not the case for more beginner users.
> So would it be of common interest to have a delimiter definition option within Results>Options... of the Results window?
