[libreoffice-users] Re: --convert-to txt:Text *.odp, *.ods

Hi :)
Once you change the settings for converting to text i think the setting stays the same until you 
re-set it.  So from then on when you use headless mode to save as text-files it should avoid all 
the commas.  


You know that ".csv" stands for Comma Separated Values and that looks like it's been a standard way 
of exchanging data in text-format for a couple of decades.  There is also tsv but that seems to be 
a lot rarer.  Isn't fixed-width a really unusual format?  


Regards from
Tom :)
