Just a suggestion and perhaps you have areason for not doing this.

But instead of this
Aetherex skin (121.21%)

Why not display it like so

Aetherex skin: 121.21%
Aetherex skin, 121.21%

Or whatever just one delimiter would be nice and make it easy to copy the data to our own spread sheets.

I do not have an answer for this but technically this is still one delimiter. The delimiter being open paren.

if you save it as a text file and use import text file in excel you can set whatever delimiter you want.
Issue might be that you also do not want the ), so you probably need to specify both ( and ) as delimiters.

(no guarantee as I am by no means an excel wizard).

Enjoy!

Right that's exactly it. Excel only allows for some checked options which is not parans at all, and an optionblank for what ever you want. so ( paran works fine. But when you translate data to columns like it is now you end up with 121.21%)
Sure one can then do it agian to remove the last ) but it would be faster and less work if that close paran wasn't there.
As once you set up an intial data to columns mode for that session it will remember that and as you paste data in out them into the columns you want. If you have to do it twice it won't remember this meaning you have to do data to columns twice each time you paste the data in. So as I said just a suggestion as it certianly can be worked around just takes more time.

If you have a server that works with php and u'd like to make a ped donation I might be able to make a simple php script for you that would split the data with the delimiter into something that your could use yourself... aka one of those examples :-P Otherwise try learning some language and make a program to clip the data and edit it. It doesn't take that long at all.

Tsk tsk assuming I don't know a language is well ( they say when you assume you make an ass of you and me.) you get the picture.

This is a suggestion area thus i'm making a suggestion. I really would like to not have to make another program to strip the data to put it into another program when the issue is a really simple one.
}:>)


But yes you are right that could be done and I could have it run often and put undue stress on the website by trolling it and pulling the data. This to me is not a nice thing to do to a site offering up useful information.
So a suggestion so this would not need to be done is the best thing to do. Thus here I am suggesting. }:>)
