BUG?: JSL > dt << Save As ("$temp\my_file.tsv") yields a Comma-delimited file!Hi JMP Community,
I came across a possible bug in JMP 16.1.0 for Windows.
When I use the simple command below, I get a comma-delimited file instead of a TAB-delimited file:
Names Default to Here (1);
dt = Current Data Table ();
dt << Save ("$temp\my_file.tsv");
I would not exclude the possibility that I made a mistake, but I cannot figure out why the extension "tsv" is not recognized.
Thanks for your help.

I can see that some work has been done in this area for JMP 17. Using JSL to save out TSV and CSV will now assume tab-delimited or comma-delimited as appropriate, rather than relying on the text-export settings for those cases. JMP 17 will be available in Fall of 2022, but i wanted to go ahead and let you know that we appreciate feedback in these forums and do try to address issues reported here. Thank you!
Re: BUG?: JSL > dt << Save As ("$temp\my_file.tsv") yields a Comma-delimited file!Thank you for reporting this issue. The behavior has been in JMP for many releases and has been reported to the development team for correction in a future release of JMP.
Re: BUG?: JSL > dt << Save As ("$temp\my_file.tsv") yields a Comma-delimited file!Hi Craig,
It is indeed a problem with the preferences which override the file format of all text files saved as tsv.
Thanks for the confirmation.

Re: BUG?: JSL > dt << Save As ("$temp\my_file.tsv") yields a Comma-delimited file!Curiously, File->SaveAs->TSV works, but produces similar JSL in the log that does not. @Wendy_Murphrey
(There is also a pref for export that you can change.)
