Ok, maybe I didn't explain the true nature in detail:
The number of fields and the formatting is all the same. nobody wants to read
the output. Instead it is read by scripts most of the time. so the only valid
question is the field delimiter, simply to make the output parseable as easy
as possible for some scripts.
On the delimiter, I have a point to raise.
In the new format, delimiter is space(s) ? What if a new column got
added in future
which has something like "new value" as a value.. then parsing would be
difficult.
Current example shown doesn't have any value that has space inside it..
but wondering if it had, would it still be parse friendly ?
