Dear Herbie,
I indeed completely missed your point!!!
How is it again? Something like: "When the sage points at the moon, the fool looks at the finger"
Thanks a lot for pointing me on this, given that you save me the time to write an "ad hoc" code to save Results data with tabulation separators.
And the users can live with file extensions being ".txt" instead of ".csv".
Have a nice evening,
Philippe

Mmh Philippe,

I use plain ImageJ but I don't think Fiji is much different...

What I wanted to express, and I think I did, is that if you choose the
".txt"-extension in the I/O-options dialog, then Results tables are
saved with tab-delimiters. If you want to get such data back in an
ImageJ-table then you can use "File >> Import >> Table".

Just try it!

Kind regards

Herbie
