Output extension number in ASCII* catalogs #4

Simplify the job of analyzing ASCII* catalogs resulting from multi-extension FITS files.

Thank you! However I am not sure this is a good idea. Such a change would likely break a few pipelines here and there. Note that if you want to work with ASCII catalogs extracted from MEF files, you may still add the EXT_NUMBER column to your .param file.

Thank you for the prompt reply! I thought it wouldn't hurt much because it is a comment line, but I see how it could break some pipelines indeed. I will use EXT_NUMBER when I need it, then.

OK, thanks your understanding! I am closing this then.
