Hi all,

As many users will know, BullCharts can export data to a CSV file, for import into a spreadsheet or other program (eg. OpenOffice Calc, or Microsoft Excel, etc.).
(The exported data can be simple price data, or the results of a scan, or more.)

BullCharts has been exporting the data into a CSV file, using the tab character as the field delimiter.
These days this seems to cause a problem for some Microsoft Excel users, because Excel seems to expect the field delimiter to be the comma character, and not a tab character.

We are looking at implementing a program change so that in future, BullCharts will export data to CSV files using the comma character as a delimiter.

Happy to take feedback on this. If anyone heavily uses CSV files, and has some experience with this?
Or perhaps this change might cause a problem for someone?

Happy to listen and discuss
