</div></div>I was using just "CSV" with the default of semi-colon to read back into<br>
Excel because I had a doubt with "CSV for MS Excel".<br>
<br>
I just tried with "CSV for MS Excel": it generates a file with commas<br>
without giving a choice of changing this, and most importantly *it does<br>
not work* with MS Excel 2007 on Windows! Not sure about the one on Mac,<br>
however<br>
<br>
I'm going to have a look and fix this for 3.3.5, at least for Windows.<br>
After this fix, yes it would make sense that CSV produce commas :)<br>
