Can the Data Loader export data in tab-delimited format instead of CSV?

Is there any to configure the Data Loader to export data in a tab-delimited format rather than the default CSV format? Also I should mention that I would need to do this in batch mode, not through the GUI. The Apex Data Loader User Guide seems to imply that this is possible, but gives no how clues or examples of how to actually configure it. Any help would be most appreciated.

Hi,

 

Were you able to export data in tab delimted format using data loader?

Yes you can use tab delimited files for the imports. You will have to use the .csv extension for the file though.

The question was about exports...is there a way to EXPORT data using DataLoader and use a different delimiter (not a comma)?
