Change default itemdelimiter

[MisMel]

Is there any way to change the default itemdelimiter in Livecode? I use tab-delimited files exclusively and would like to change it from comma to tab. I know I can do this within each handler, but this is tedious, and requires me to remember an unnecessary step while programming. I would like to be able to just set it at the beginning of my code and not have to change it again for each handler.

This is a native default property, so I think this has to be declared in each handler, since it is reset to comma at idle time. I am wondering if there is a way to do this, but because the property is so locally tied to individual handlers, I am not sure it is possible.

Maybe a stickie note on your keyboard?

Hi MisMel,

you can only LOCALY set the itemdelimiter, it will always reset to COMMA after the "setting" handler has finished.

Ah, and welcome to the forum
