Re: [Fwd: How to customize the ascii output format?]

Hi Ding,

It looks like you understand what is needed.  To save a step, and instead of creating a
temporary file with std_list.jnl type script, you could look at the insitu custom.pl subroutine
called insitu_data.  This subroutine uses the data already stored in the Perl
LAS::Server::Ferret object (i.e. $self->{props}->{x_lo}) and prints formatted text to an output
file which LAS wraps up in html and throws back to the browser.  You can tweak the format right
in the subroutine or name a new subroutine and add it as a custom operation.
