Has anyone found a way to force FileMaker 7 Server to use "Tab Delimited
Text" as the import type in a scripted import? It seems that the file
type is not remembered as part of the import step.

I'm importing fixed-field data in to a text field, that I then parse out
via calc fields. Unfortunately, it seems that if you leave the import
type set to "All Available" then FileMaker will assume Comma Delimited
as the file format if it finds any commas. This renders the import
useless.

I've tried ".dat", ".txt", and ".text" but all seem to be handled the
same.

My current solution is to put up a message warning the user to choose
"Tab Delimited" and then check the import for correctness afterwards,
but it would sure be nice to fix this once and for all.
