Usefullness of wir report file

[Mist]

HI!
How do you guys use report file? Any ideas?
I wrote small programm which parses it and analyzes info. Is it right way?

That sounds great. The current report is fine but its obviously set up for printing out as a bog standard text file. This makes it difficult for analysing things. I know that 'analysing things' is probably anathema to most players but whats the point of the game storing all those different factors if no one is able to study them?
I've fiddled about with the report using MS Excel and Access with varying success. What are you using?
Unfortunately the one vital thing missing from the report is a ground units assigned HQ. Maybe Matrix can find a way to add this to the report?
