I see, if you use commas to separate each element and a newline at the end = of each line then the exported file will open as a spreadsheet so you would= n't need to copy and paste. =A0Does that make sense?

Hey Robert,

You can export it as a comma delimited or tab delimited file and it shou= ld open correctly in your spreadsheet program. Let me know if you need to t= o elaborate on this.
