To me it appears that the problem is "calc should open delimited text files no matter the file extension"; however, to you it appears to be something much grander and hugely convoluted. I'm not sure why you keep interjecting the issue of "guessing" into the issue. There is really no guessing involved at any level. Calc should not be trying to guess anything. If I want Calc to open a tab-delimited text file (generated by my database or from an html table), no guessing is needed. Even though it's a table, it arrives on my desk as a text file. I know what's in the file. No "differentiation" is required. I simply want to load it into a spreadsheet and get to work. I should be able to do this with two mouse-clicks. Like Excel does. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
