Yeah, I kinda knew that. I was trying to avoid parsing the file -- its a lot easier to retrieve the property of an object than it is to parse files -- at least for me anyway. Also, if the output format changes, your parser can be rendered useless. Looking at a dump of the file it would appear that the data in the results.txt file is a property to the object.

The results text file is built using the methods and properties of the serialized Java classes, but I cannot share that API with you. We do not publish our APIs as they are subject to change, and TAC does not support direct access to database objects or code objects.

That said, the results text file format is unlikely to change much in its layout from release to release. It wouldn't be too difficult to maintain a regular expression parser for it.
