Comment:

 Replying to [comment:12 annakrat]:
 > Any ideas?

  * Use `separator=pipe` instead of `separator=|`, similarly to
 `separator=space`.
  * Fix G7:r.stats, the default separator for all other modules is a pipe.
 (And than apply again the patch.)
  * Another idea would be to use some other separator by default which
 would discourage usage of pipe by MS Windows users (which anyway must be
 very confused from that character, I would say). A space or comma could be
 much natural separators (e.g., considering putting the data to some
 spreadsheet or computational environment such as R). This does not solve
 the actual problem but it might completely avoid it on MS Windows and user
 of other systems can still use the pipe if they want.
