Graeme,
May I suggest that you add padded zeroes to the target <row><column>
string data in the .ti2 file? i.e change A1 to A01 or A001.
I came across this idea when I was using the colormouse. I like to use
"randomised" targets because it makes it easier to spot an error, and I
can use the very same target with a scanner and a colorimeter. When I
use the colormouse, I want to open the .ti2 file in OpenOffice Calc
(equivalent of MS Excel) and sort the data by the 2nd coloumn containing
the <row><column> string. However, I couldn't get Calc to sort the data
properly if there were no padding zeroes. The sort will produce A1, A10,
A11, ..., A2, A20, A21,... :-( So far, I use a regular expression to add
padding zeroes.
If you think that changing the .ti2 format will cause too many problems
of backward compatibility, let me know. I was thinking of writing a
utility in Perl that reads the .ti2, a .csv data file generated by the
colormouse, and creates a .ti3 file.
Yours, Stephan.
