Hi Shawn,
I have a merchant account with CardService http://cardservice.com but they are
sending me through http://authorize.net
So I used the option Cardservice to export our credit card info.

I am trying to export a credit card batch. When the cardserv.txt file is
generate, it uses comma delimited fields. I tried the custom export option too
with no luck.

Our software requires a TAB delimited field

Is there a way we can accomplish this?

Here's an excerpt from the owner's manual if that helps.

There are 21 fields required in the tab delimited text file you will upload for
processing. All transactions contained in your file are processed in the
currently open batch and are settled with any other transactions submitted under
your account within that same batch.

Fields are delimited with the TAB character. Do not encapsulate fields with
quotes. Fields that are not required and that you don't use should still be
represented with just the TAB. Do not include field names in the first record.

You can name give the file any filename that is meaningful to you. Most text
files end with a .txt file extension.

Minimum required fields for a successful transaction (by number - see below):
3,4,5,6,7
