errors within an exported .slk file

[Mike Fedkiw]

Actually a CSV file is where I started with a different export but I just couldn't get it to work because of asterisks, commas and semicolons within the field I wanted to export. That's why I went to the SLK file, it didn't care about any of that. I think it's kinda ridiculous that it can be so difficult to export stuff like I'm trying to. It's like use slk for this one but use something different for another and I haven't really done much exporting anyway. Can't wait until I need to find a third way to export something, this just sucks.
