import tab delimited files with dataloader

Hi,
With Dataloader v25 is was able to import tab delimited files. Now, with v29 that doesn't work anymore, seems like it only takes comma delimited files. Anybody got the same experience?

Hi Marco,


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

Note: 
If commas are not appropriate for your locale, use a tab or other delimiter.
