Yes, I can provide an option for both. Are we talking mostly about the CLI 'load' command here? Should tab be the default and comma-delimited be a specifiable option or vice versa? -----Original Message----- From: Holly Vance [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Monday, July 06, 2015 10:15 AM To: Nathan Baltzell Cc: McCormick, Jeremy I.; Omar Moreno; hps-software Subject: Re: proposed change to conditions text interface Hi Jeremy, Is there a lot of work involved to include both? I have converter scripts for things I use such as gains and timing offsets, but there are automated codes such as the LED peak gains and pedestal calculator that would require more adjustments within the hps java framework. I would prefer to not change my script converters if at all possible. -Holly On Mon, Jul 6, 2015 at 1:07 PM, Nathan Baltzell <[log in to unmask]> wrote: People have written codes that read/write these files based on the convention you chose. Instead of requiring them to now modify those codes or add an intermediate step, why not just allow either whitespace or commas?
